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.

You can get it Download

StartAllBack to fix all Windows 11 deal-breaking UI issues

StartAllBack restores taskbar, start menu, context menus, explorer, sanity, style and order!

On my end closing programs is instantaneous. I did however notice a slight flicker (well, more like a single blink, not a real incessant flicker), but I didn't have time to troubleshoot it, and I attributed it to the DisplayLink Graphics driver I've also updated several weeks ago.

I returned to windows 10 and the same problems appear, startallback not displaying icons on taskbar when exiting game or alt tabbing , windows-games. Must restart windows explorer.exe in task manager to see icons again. Using integrated gpu intel uhd 770/i5 13600K, it appears that is graphic driver problem, what to do?

SAB is not compatible with the Dev Insider build 25252.1000, it crashes and causes the taskbar to fail to load. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.

All I get is two black screens and a mouse curser. I have two monitors. Ctrl+Alt+Delete still works. I used it to open Task Manager and to shut down my desktop. I miss having the Taskbar on top the other minor changes I used it to make. I doubt I'll ever understand why MS will only allow users to either have the Taskbar on the left or centered.
