Solved undo the new start menu changes

i tried explorer patcher. not working.

i tried vivetool with the command vivetool /disable /id:47205210. also not working.

tried open shell, that completely changes the start menu. don't want that. i just want to revert to the original windows 11 start menu. anybody know how to do it?

I don't care for the Windows 11 start menu. I always use OpenShell to revert to the Windows XP start menu. There was no reason to get rid of it.

Microsoft removed the old Win 11 Start Menu.
So the tweaks we used to use... have nothing to work on, anymore.

Explorerpatcher works for me, along with DWMBlurglass.

Openshell- it doesn't CHANGE the start menu, You can use a hot key (SHIFT click) - + one you configure- to open the original start menu any time you like. It's still there, exactly as was.

Or close Openshell- it's just a program, processing the start menu data in a particular way.
Or uninstall Openshell.

But Openshell offers a far more flexible usable menu with full drag 'n drop support, configurable appearance, layout and search.

Your choice. Good luck.
