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.

I do not want to disable StartAllBack completely - just revert back to the stock Windows 11 context menu.
Oh sh*t! My bad! Settings/Explorer uncheck Classic context menus. Sorry bout that!

Odd, I have tried that.

I unticked it then use Task Manager to restart Windows Explorer but it is still showing the classic context menus.

Restarting my PC did not help, either.

I wonder if I altered the registry 🤔 I will investigate further.

EDIT: Yep, I must have. Pasting the following into Terminal then restarting Windows Explorer did the trick: reg.exe delete "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}" /f

Could this not be what you're after? That's the closest thing to what you're describing inside SAB.
