Solved Winaero Tweaker feature undo problem

My desktop PC running Windows 11 Insider Release Preview has a messed up taskbar. I used Winaero Tweaker 1.40 last year to enable classic taskbar. That feature no longer works correctly since 22H2 was installed. But my installed Winaero Tweaker is now 1.55, which no longer does classic taskbar registry manipulations. Unfortunately, it also no longer reverses what was done when I originally selected the feature. Now, I'm stuck with a taskbar that is eternally black no matter which color I select for it. Also, the setting to center the start button or move it to the left is no longer available in Taskbar Settings > Taskbar behaviors.

Does anybody know where I could download a copy of Winaero Tweaker 1.40 or what registry changes are necessary to back out of classic taskbar? Winaero has an archive that shows announcements for each version going back to the beginning, but links for downloading result only in getting the current version. I'm dreading the thought of having to do a fresh 11 install and hope something short of that will fix the taskbar.

Have a copy of 1.33 if that helps

You could try installing StartAllBack and in the 'Explorer' tab you can disable 'Mica Effect on top' and I think this helps regarding colours. It has other features as well. Quite a few people on this forum have installed it, me included. There is also another third party app that people use but I don't know anything about that one. I think it is called 'ExplorerPatcher'.

OAT, thank you very much! Winaero Tweaker 1.40 worked perfectly to fix all the problems. Everything is as it should be now. Also, thanks to StanP50 and wiganken for your offer of 1.33 and utility suggestion.
