Just upgraded my PC hardware, in the next couple of days I will upgrade to Win 11 via an update.

When Windows 10 arrived and I updated, I so truly hated the the Tiles and the Start menu, I could not get on with it.

Fortunately " Classic Shell " came to my rescue, I managed to get the start menu looking how I wanted to use it.

Will " Classic Shell "work under Win 11?

Image is how I would like my start menu to look under Win 11, any chance of me achieving this or something close?

I use a combination of Winaero tweaker and Open Shell to mimic my old windows look.

Indeed, SAB does all I need. Choose the XP-style Start menu and modify to your heart's desire. SAB is bug-free with the configuration I use.

All 4 of my systems look identical, all have my custom icons and custom tweaks, in fact they all share the same installation image, i'll customise one system, save the image and deploy on the other machines.
