Don't like windows 11 start menu, here's how to change it back to Windows 10 start menu. Drop us a LIKE 👍

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.

As others have stated, this no longer works.. any chance there is an updated work around? thanks

[SidBonkers]

Shame that the developers couldnt have built in a quick way to switch between Start Menues

[mindmaze]

Microsoft: Here you go a new start panel!
Users: Let's switch back to win10 panel :D

Mans already releasing solutions for a leaked windows version lmfao

Well that couldn't have been any easier, right? Thanks Brian, for that quick tutorial. You'd think that whatever gui changes Microsoft makes to their future operating system you should be able to undo or be able to switch back to a prior OS. From windows 7 going forward, they should've been putting in switches or menus choices as a way to go back to a style of operating system you like best and call it a day.

Initially when I saw they were changing the Start Menu (again) I thought well maybe there will be some nice improvements but once again, kinda like when they released Windows 8, I think they actually went backwards. I dont see how the Windows 11 version even remotely makes accessing anything from the Start Menu easier or more organized than the Win 10 Start Menu. It basically seems like they made it flatter and less dynamic by a mile. What am I

[LadyHarley]

This did not work for me. Have there been changes to Windows 11 that will not allow the change?

[markp]

I had not switched to Windows 11 because I don't like their start menu, so now with you help I have no excuse to switch over. I will back my windows 10 up this weekend and give it a try.

[meliodas.]

Thanks a lot man... I really wanted this .m.

@Britec 09, i tried you method today. It doesn't work anymore with the latest version of Windows 11 that I installed yesterday. Any workaround?

[mrcabbie]

Well that was in the past also using classic win7 start menu, but I like the new win11 layout

[KingdomUploader]

Thank you for pointing this out! On removing 'widgets' down there, can we eliminate All but the start button and search button? Thanks

[TheChromeJob]

Windows 11 not even really out, and my boy Britec already doing tutorials for it lol

[PCoolpics]

This didn’t work for me can I delete the Start_ShowClassicMode folder I made, will it do anything if I do? Sorry but I’m really not a techy.

[Wol]

But can I go back to the W7 display, as I do with a small prog with W10?

Brian is it possible to use the registry editor to stop the app windows from being combined on the taskbar? I would rather not have to install a separate bit of software to achieve this. I like to see what I have opened on my task bar at a glance
