Thanks for the link! Looks like they have lifetime licenses on some of their stuff again. (y)

That's good news since I won't pay a subscription for it.

My desktop layout is similar to this, except I have the taskbar aligned to the left instead of centered and of course a different darker background.

Start 11 is not on the free end. Scratch that off.

I will test Open Shell and see what sticks.

Another new free option for the start menu. I've been playing with Windhawk for a few days now but just discovered the new start menu resizer mod a few minutes ago. Just another option.

Have you taken the time to look around the settings? Recommended as you want to use the software. A small effort.

I'm talking about you and me. When we were "young" the older adults didn't know anything about technology. What you said is exactly what I meant.

To be honest, when I was a kid, technology was a Radio. There were 2 switches and a knob. Parent proof.

It was all fun and games, then someone invented Microwave ovens. And TV remote controls that didn’t involve telling your kid to get up and change the channel.

I “think” it’s in the settings under “Menu Look” tab. I also “Think” you need to Override the glass colour.

This is an older version. Not sure if still the same?

To be honest, when I was a kid, technology was a Radio. There were 2 switches and a knob. Parent proof.

It was all fun and games, then someone invented Microwave ovens. And TV remote controls that didn’t involve telling your kid to get up and change the channel.

Generally... the new Start Menu comes with 25H2.
But as usual MS is not rolling it out to everyone at the same time.

MS thinks it's "less" confusing that way. :D

Isn't that supposed to be what the Insider Builds are for? My understanding is that the Insiders are suppose to test the new features and changes and report any bugs. All of this is so the release builds can be as bug free as possible. The way it's going, everybody is a tester no matter what build they are running.
