Windows 11 Start menu 'All apps' as default

I recently have noticed that after a recently installed update to my Windows 11 installation, the registry key that I use to force the Start menu to display all application rather the default recommended or recently used application has stopped working. I knew it would be a matter of time before Microsoft got around to doing this with Windows (a nice term of saying they screwed everyone who cared about having the standard Windows start menu).

I have tried using ExplorerPatcher and Start11 but it just does not feel the same. Does anyone have any idea as to why this has happened and if so, is there a registry solution to getting the 'Feature' to work again? I was using the Start_ShowClassicMode then the MakeAllAppsDefault registry keys. Both are now not working.

I still maintain that Microsoft should make this optional and provide an in-built setting to change what is displayed on the start menu as default.

I use Startallback not because of the start menu but, because of the Task bar.
You can try it and see if you like it. it has a 30 day trial period and will cost $5.00
if you keep it. I chose to pay. I have been using the Task bar at the top since well,
can't remember and w11 broke that streak. happy now that I have it back.
