StartAllBack For Windows 11 has been released.
It's an RC release. I haven't tested it yet as I have Start11 installed.

Edit: I have now tested it. It's working quite well.
Apart from a great start menu, you can also have the Enhanced Classic Taskbar back.
This means (for example) that you can have an uncombined and unlocked Taskbar.
You will now also be able to enhance the Taskbar clock using T-Clock Redux or similar.

You can also change Windows Explorer to Ribbon UI or Simple UI.

Hello guys.
An issue that is having with startallback 3.5.1 (last in 2022/August/17).
When clicking with the right mouse button, (properties button), it doesn't open the context menu (new, copy to, etc) but it locks everything.

SAB should fix it with the next iteration. color titlebars only appear when using the win10 or 7 explorer UIs. if you set it to the 11 UI, mica takes effect again. they need to patch whatever coding is behind the Mica Effect on Top option to correlate with new windows changes. give em a few weeks and it should have an update available.

Since the last couple of Dev Insider builds (currently on 10.0.25217.1000), for me, SAB 3.5.2 breaks "Task View". Once I click the Task View button, or try to use Win+Tab, then also ALT+Tab is broken until I crash and restart explorer.exe. (Win+CTRL+Left and Win+CTRL+Right still work to move between virtual desktops).

Uninstalling 3.5.2 resolves the issue.

Can anyone else confirm this?

Yea, I played with the configuration for a while. You can have SAB 3.5.2 active for the Start Menu, and it doesn't break Task View, but as soon as you enable the taskbar, it breaks Task View now. I've decided the functionality is worth the broken Task View, but I sure am hoping this will get fixed soon.

I have last rel. 3.5.2 but in explorer i have these colors on address bar.

Thank Hispa

^ I don't think that has to do with SAB. It seems to me that it may be related to your theme.

As for the broken task view, I also had that problem, but it somehow got resolved for me, IDK how. Try reinstalling maybe.
