StartAllBack For Windows 11 has been released.
It's an RC release. I haven't tested it yet as I have Start11 installed.

Edit: I have now tested it. It's working quite well.
Apart from a great start menu, you can also have the Enhanced Classic Taskbar back.
This means (for example) that you can have an uncombined and unlocked Taskbar.
You will now also be able to enhance the Taskbar clock using T-Clock Redux or similar.

You can also change Windows Explorer to Ribbon UI or Simple UI.

when you disable classic context in sab, did you reboot? see if something is just hung up in explorer (even if restarting explorer)

disable sab classic context, run this as cmd admin, reboot, then run the first as cmd admin and reboot. if you dont have that reg key but have classic context, something is glitched. create it with the below, then delete it to restore the win 11 with the first command:

Code: 
reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve

Nope! Don't want it!

I understand you're trying to get to the bottom of this anomaly, but, to be honest, I'm perfectly happy with the present state of my machine.

ok no worries. just figured thats the most likely cause at this point since you ran the remove package (even though it errored for you).

Please , have a look at the difference in distance ( left taskbar items ) between these two screenshots .
The first screenshot is from 3.6.16 , the way I like it !! The second is from 3.7.0-versions , can not get the same distance , only getting wider !!
HOW ( to get this fixed , the difference in distance is getting wider after each update after the 3.6.16-version !! ) ??
I want to update , but have to revert to 3.6.16 untill now...........

There is something totally wrong with your Windows, I am afraid, and not only the effed up start button logo.
It's not an issue with StartAllBack, but rather a particular issue with your installation.

No, it does not look all fine. The first indication would be that FUBAR start button, as I already pointed out 3 times already.

" (What is Shadow Mode???) "......its the Shadow Defender , try all options and revert after reboot .
" FUBAR start button " is the start-button from Open-Shell , using it in all versions of StartAllBack , its NOT the problem , works awsome in 3.6.16 . ( as you can see in my screenshots !)
Latest updated Win11 , all fine with SAB in 3.6.16 .......not in 3.7.0 ( and later) , so HOW (??) can you blame my system , the differences are in SAB !!
