Installs the traditional Start Menuīasically, StartIsBack replaces the built-in Start Menu of Windows 10 with a custom one that resembles the Windows 7 one.īy default, the new menu includes shortcuts to the most popular apps you might need on your PC, such as Maps, Sticky Note, Snipping Tool, Notepad, Calculator, Paint, PowerShell and Cortana. Luckily, there are a bunch of apps you can install to try and bring back some of the features you had gotten used to, such as StartIsBack that restores the old school Start menu. However, it can give him a custom taskbar but with very different functionality than the standard Win 10 one (and much more functionality at that!).When you are so accustomed to Windows 7 or even Windows XP, switching to Windows 10 can seem quite difficult. I don't know if any of those programs listed can do that under Win 11, it's certainly still uncharted territory as it were, and certainly NextSTART can't help there.

There is also a Start Menu Organiser which allows you to reconfigure the standard Start Menu category layout - and which can be used in conjunction with the Start Menu replacement applications mentioned above.Īll he wants, it seems to me from what he wrote, is to have the Win 10 type start menu in full screen - goodness alone knows why anybody would want that but that's his choice. NextStart (part of Winstep Extreme) enables a bespoke taskbar to be created together with a custom start menu. If you want to customise the taskbar and / or the Start menu then Winstep can definitely help. If all you want to do is return the Start menu (and the taskbar) to the traditional look and feel you can just use one of the Start Menu replacement applications (Classic Menu, Startisback++, Start11.).
