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.

Some alternate/darker shading in W7 mode, perhaps? I've never noticed it before.

It just shows the RC version
It's a "release candidate" version that the author is ready to give his stamp of approval for general consumption. I'll wait for the "final" version.

Thanks Spacedust. Trying all suggestions given here. Out of 11 of my Win 11 242H builds, only three are experiencing the issue.

Just tried out stardocks start menu.
Went back to SAB. But there was one cool feature that I liked.

It has an option to have non-pinned apps on the task manager ungrouped with labels. Love to see that option if possible in this app.
Is there any way to configure this in the registry or someone knows of a good app for this option?817ac9dd-29e0-4a96-9d04-bda4fdd4219b.webp

Hi.

Thanks for your reply


I am sorry but let me rephrase what I mean. I am referring to the labels. It is either on or off. I am looking for granularity.
As you can see in the picture. I have my pinned apps Combined and hidden lablels. but the unpinned are not labeled.

Has anyone else had an issue on the latest version with the first app being cut off? This is what it looks like with the full app name being shown
1736908633420.webp
and what it looks like just app icons

If I separate the windows icon into it's own corner, it shows up fine.

    I loved modding and customizing operating systems since very young age, gaining experience from all important systems, including Windows, Ubuntu, MacOS and Android, which led to creation of Windows 11 mod called WinMac. Seamlessly blending the elegance of macOS with the versatility of Windows, my customized interface elevates user experience through meticulously crafted modifications and UI enhancements.

    With WinMac, every interaction with Windows 11 environment is imbued with a touch of sophistication, where the boundaries between the Windows and Mac universes blur, offering a sublime computing experience that transcends conventional limitations of Windows 11.
