Is there a way to remove this bar?

I'm on 22H2 Win 11 build and I'm using StartAllBack+a custom theme from cleodesktop. I've never had it before and now all of a sudden it's always there and I can't get rid of it, think it happened after an update. Super annoying and useless. Anyone have a clue what I could do to get rid of it?

With the customizations mentioned it's hard to say but in File Explorer, View, Options and the View tab there is no mention on my default install for removal of that Menu bar.

@kennybb all you do is post laugh emoji's on peoples posts. Why don’t you do something constructive like help someone?
Here we have a new member asking for help and you want to leave the impression that the Eleven Forum is a place to come and get ridiculed. What is your damage exactly?

Hi there, welcome to the forum

Is the same bar there with other themes?

I have StartAllBack v3.6.13 and I do not see the bar. This suggests that it may be related to the Cleodesktop theme. Try removing the theme. You can always reinstall it if it doesn't fix your issue.

Hey, I forgot I've asked here, thanks for the welcome :) It was a matter of broken UXThemePatcher, but since then I've reinstalled Windows and decided to ditch it completely, which brings me to my next question

As I've said to the poster above, it was a matter of broken UXThemePatcher, but I've decided that normal windows black theme is alright with just using custom icons, j/w, how are you disabling the menu? I'm using SAB as well and there is never an option to completely remove it, only to use one of three variants:

I'd just want the clean look without any of those bars.

Try to restore old explorer with ribbon (yes, I’ve had it work on 22h2 before, but I cannot attest to what update packages may have been missing that allowed it to work) and if it works, minimize the ribbon. That’ll hide it all… better option than nothing…
