There is some configuration involved to correctly use Classic Shell / Open Shell on Windows 11. It works with both - the new taskbar as well as the classic Taskbar but with the new it doesn't hide the Windows 11 button behind it yet - wait for it to be updated, or use a square button without transparent pixels so that it completely overlays the Windows 11 Start button even with the new degraded taskbar.

Personally, I never really liked the start tiles on Windows and have been using Open Shell on my PC for a number of years. For me it's a matter of the use case: On a mobile device, I would love the idea of live tiles, because it's where I casually consume content and chat. On a desktop computer used for multitasking and rigorous work, start tiles are cluttered, large and slow down the speed at which I can find and open applications, due to their distracting animations and unjustifiably large size. Hence my main ways of opening applications is via pinned apps on the taskbar (Which I can open with Win + 1/2/3/etc.) or via the search bar in the start menu.

It would be very ideal and a good idea if Microsoft made the Windows 11 Start Menu much more customizable so that you could adjust its size and appearance as you did in Windows 7 and Windows 10. That way, users would gain much better control on how each user prefers to personalize Windows 11 the way they want.

I'm so glad Stardock continues to bring us the classic looking operating system elements. I just got the Start11, and WindowBlinds11 apps for Windows 11. I was so frustrated with the way Win11's borderless windows looked. I'm legally blind, and had a terrible time figuring out where the foreground window edges were. Windowblinds restores the nice, fat borders we had in Win7. The restoration of the Win7 style start menu with Start11 is amazing! I just wish they'd give us an authentic looking Windows XP Luna start menu, and window frames, at some point. Thanks for sharing this.

I absolutely love that in the world of Windows... You have to pay Microsoft in order to customize your desktop, and furthermore, you have to pay a _third-party company_ if you want to _actually_ customize your OS to make it yours. Whereas all the customization options are _built-in_ and _totally free_ in Linux. You don't have to pay for a damn thing... or worry about viruses, and make your desktop look like _anything_ you want! You can make KDE Plasma look like Windows 11, macOS, or something totally _unique_ . These paid-for third-party customization utilities are the epitome of how extremely Windows limits you, and forces you to bend to its constraints!

In the current version of Open-Shell (4.4.170), you can very easily choose a custom image and specify its size, so the issue you mention isn't a problem. Also, I haven't used Stardock software in many years, but back when I did, it was extremely buggy -- every product, every version.

This no longer works as of the new release on 7/8/21. Because of this, I reverted back to Windows 10. The new Windows 11 start menu is a deal killer for me, and I really hope they fix it.

0:40 I actually really dig it. The old Start menu design was redundant as all hell by this point and basically NEVER the actual fastest way to do something. The new design in 11 limits me to using only and more often what it's best at, rather than a subpar way to do a bunch of other things that can be done faster in other ways.

"basically NEVER the actual fastest way to do something" Thank you! I just don't understand anyone who knows anyone about computers would actually care about the Start Menu. The best way to launch a program in Windows 7-10 (probably 11, too) is to either search for it (Start, then typing) or pin it to the taskbar and use Windows key + [1-9]. That's 9 different programs immediately launchable/switchable via a two-key shortcut. I mean I can understand a nostalgia factor, but pretty much any start menu is a waste of time if you know what you want to launch (most people do).

As an admin, of a 3000 network. I'm so glad I can remove it with winget. I like open shell on windows 8 UI and server 2012 and 2016. But beyond that, the new one is fine once you get used to it. Windows 11 all you need to do is click all apps and you get a basic list. The only thing I wish is the windows 11 start menu listed all updated with most clicked apps was an option.

the version 9 update of start 11 is a fantastic advancement over the previous version. now replicates much of windows 10 start menu. also can place taskbar at the top of the screen, and can make the taskbar smaller than the obtrusive size in windows 11. this product is still in beta. looking forward to further refinements!
@colt5189

I plan on going with Start 11 since they say they've designed theirs in a way that should be immune to getting cancelled via a Microsoft update that tries to block these type of programs.

It would be nice if windows allowed you to change the skin of the start menu like for example an option that lets to choose different styles, some from older versions of windows some other completely new.
