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.

You can get it Download

StartAllBack to fix all Windows 11 deal-breaking UI issues

StartAllBack restores taskbar, start menu, context menus, explorer, sanity, style and order!

Doh, I know, and I do not need to. The point was it's not Mixer by default.
Sadly for me, only now I understand what @Tihiy means, my bad.

Thank you, it was just a missunderstanding on my part, I do not need Mixer to open, I only have one sound source at the time, usually.

You notice the distance between the left taskbar-icons , when installing later versions ( 3.7.0 ) , this distance will change and is not stable , the icons go to the right..........
I like it the way it is on this screenshot !

It made no sense since it was originally posted, still does not make sense even with screenshot, lol.

That is called Quick Launch, not left taskbar icons, it's very vague, could mean you have the taskbar on the left, or the icons to the left of the taskbar, and so on.
And no, the distance is the same and can be set as previously shown.

Sorry , yes icons right of the taskbar ( look at my screenshot ) , they are ok .
Problem is the left-site ( quick launch ) , they are too far from the start-button , tried several options , cant get it as it is in the 3.6.16-version..........

Maybe the issue is your custom start button and the fact that you use widgets.
I am too lazy to uninstall the current version and install the older one to verify, but I did not notice any difference.

There's definitely something screwed up with your Start Button, (the black shadows),

maybe it's the weather thing... 🤷‍♂️

I'm using Extra Small margins...

... seems tight/clean enough! 🤷‍♂️

You gotta realize, the margin area includes the translucent placeholder as well...
