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.

That's why it's called StartAllBack, as in the way it used to be.

Does this bring back the folder thumbnails from Windows 10 in explorer? I hate the blank folders in W11, can't see any content. Awful update from Microsoft.

I'm having an issue with the latest build of 11. Build 22494.rs_prerelease.211029-1421 . The start menu works great When I open File Explorer the address bar and search box is missing. Plus the top of the window seems to overlap a lot of the folders . Also the back and forward arrows are covered. I have tried just about every option I can find with no luck. Thanks for a great app.

I uninstalled SAB and restored normal File Explorer functions.
