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!

just trying all possible key combinations has me laughing at some that i've found. for instance: Win+Ctrl+C makes it grayscale.... no clue why but thought my monitors were having an issue for a very brief second 😂

oh.. and if its any use to you, Win+Ctrl+L activates live captions in windows for audio/video recording of your screen

I guess you missed the part where it clearly said in the changelog about the Copilot being disabled by default....

Thought they meant the Icon is being disabled by default and not the copilot itself. Any Idea how to activate copilot after updating to 3.7? thank you :)

here it is working, the icon can be changed in startallback itself.
just moved to the clock side.

Strange... there must be something wrong with my windows settings. In RC3 With Icon next to the startbutton copilot is opening for me. In 3.7 with the new icon on the right side the icon is here but does not open the copilot. Maybe it is time for a fresh install for me. Thank you anyways :)

btw, the windows 11 calendar flyout keeps the notification box persistent starting with 22h2 due to the integration of the Do Not Disturb link in the top right corner of it. prior to 22h2, that feature was not there, so when you cleared all notifications or turned off notifications the flyout would only display the calendar. so if someone can figure out how to port the 21h2 flyout, we could essentially get it back. just food for thought
