I finally had the courage to upgrade my Windows 10 Pro system to Windows 11. I psyched myself up to like the Windows 11 UI but just couldn't so I gave StartAllBack a try. It's the best $4.99US I've ever spent.

I agree. I bought 3 license when I purchased it months ago

I agree, it's a must have app for Windows 11 in my opinion.

It works well for me, but I only use a few of it's features. People that use all the fancier features often report problems in various web forums, so SAB probably has some rough edges. It always will and that's to be expected because microsoft is constantly juggling things, so expect glitches.

I hadn't noticed!

In Windows 7 Explorer Mode it stays the same.

Universal Watermark Disabler no longer works in Build 27913.1000.
Any chance for a fix?

Tihiy · Aug 1, 2025

No idea, not interested.

I found a very strange bug/vehaviour in StartAllBack when
used together with Open-Shell menu extension :-/

I wanted to use a start manu icon from Open-Shell that I could
not get to function properly when selected from StartAllBack.

So I created a blank SVG and choose that as the icon in StartAllBack.

Then I set Open-Shell to replace the start menu button.

At start it look allright and everything is fine....

But then I inserted a USB and the "eject" icon appeared in the tray.
Then the whole StartAllBack taskbar switch to the left.

When I removed the USB (and the "eject" icon disappeared) the
StartAllBack taskbar moved even further to the left...

And as you can see from the attached picture it just goes on...

Why is this happening, and is there a way to fix this?

Have you tried this instead of the soft ?
If it's just to remove the watermark

Removing Windows 11 Insider Preview Evaluation Copy Watermark

If you're bothered by the "Insider Preview Evaluation Copy" watermark on your Windows 11 desktop, here's how to remove or hide it.

I have i Windows Flag icon I used in OpenShell (see enclosed image).

When I try to use this from StartAllBack it looks OK in the settings,
but it is scaled all wrong in the taskbar (see enclosed image).

Why is this? I there a way to fix this?

PS! I tried using a blank icon in StartAllBack and settings the
icon in OpenShell instead, but that caused another strange error
(the taskbar shifting to the left each time a tray icon appeared
or disappeard, so I had to turn of "replace start icon" in
openShell - see 2nd enclosed image).

Have included the "Windows flag" start menu icon as 3rd image.

SAB's are scaled differently.
What I did is take one of the existing orbs, (in the highlighted folder), copied and customized it...
