Temporarily insiders 24H2. Up to Microsoft if it’s blocked in a release I suppose or up to SAB to change the way it uses Windows maybe.

Changes to the start menu do not affect me personally as I won't average opening the start menu more than once a week, if that. My habits really haven't changed much since the windows 7 days with most used shortcuts on the taskbar and occasionally used shortcuts in my poor man's quick launch and/or grouped in folders on the desktop.
But consider that this may be the beginning of Windows as a service.. If MS becomes ad-generated in the start menu, it won't stop there. There's nothing to keep them from popping up an ad every time we open an app, even a third party app that has it's own ads.
Windows could well become no more than facebook on steroids.....unless the user PAYS for an ad-free experience.
No sense worrying about it. They're gonna do what they're gonna do and we'll do what we gotta do.

I know that in the newer Canary Builds StartAllBack has to be uninstalled before new builds will install/update. For now StartAllBack can be reinstalled but the file needs to be renamed first.

It's not only Microsoft -- nearly everything is "ad ridden" these days.
Microsoft continues push to turn Windows into an advertising space - gHacks Tech News
It looks as if more advertisement and promotions are coming to Windows 11's Start Menu and also the taskbar very soon. Here is what we know.www.ghacks.net
I don't believe this is actually a viable long term business space since after a while users get used to these things and just ignore them --and believe it or not some high end magazines are beginning to re-start physical issues -- which is better for a load of users since ads on those aren't so obtrusive. Also sites that are too riddled with ads or play hideous music are now routinely blocked by most users anyway so if one needs to monetize products there needs to be a less obtrusive and annoying way in doing it.
One way I've often thought about is like "Micro one off payments" -- If I want say one issue of the NY Times why can't I just buy a 1 off payment just as I would in a store -- I don't want a monthly sub or 30 days free trial or whatever.
Cheers

Out of boredom, I started playing around with both Mint and Ubuntu at the height of Covid. Age and declining health are quickly changing my needs and demands on the OS so if I'm still here IF/WHEN it happens, I think I could transition quite easily and never shed tears over it.
My PC has it's purpose but I'm using it less and less in favor of my Ipad Pro.
I just know I certainly couldn't/wouldn't pay to use Windows at this stage of my life.
I'd miss all you here on the forum, though.

The only problem I would have is that a number of my programs don't have Linux versions. I'm not even sure if I could use my Brother Laser printer in Linux. I do have Linux Mint installed in a VM but it's been several months since I loaded it.Out of boredom, I started playing around with both Mint and Ubuntu at the height of Covid.

MS did not block anything.
MS did not make anything difficult to install.
Yes, in 2009 the EC made MS bring up a dialog telling people that it was easy to install other browsers [and the dialog provided download links for several common browsers].
All the best,

I won't like it but I think I could learn to ignore ads that are shown on the Start Menu or only shown when Windows first starts. What would tick me off is if they decide to use pop-up ads and they don't give us the option to turn them off.
