It will cost you less than $5.00<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Back in November 2021, we featured this tip, but for the most part, it fell on deaf ears – so to speak. Very few people were Windows 11 back then. But now that has changed, and more and more of you are using Windows 11. So, we thought it would be helpful to reprise this article.<\/span><\/p>\n I worked on a computer a couple of days ago that had an app installed on it called StartAllBack. Now, I\u2019m not a fan of looking backward, I tend to want to get used to the new and move on from the old. But Windows 11 did away with, among other things, the File Explorer ribbon, starting Task Manager by right-clicking the taskbar, and full right-click context menus. In Windows 11, when you right-click on a file or folder, you get a truncated context menu. Then you have to click \u201cShow more options\u201d to see the full context menu which doesn\u2019t make much sense to me.<\/span><\/p>\n Although I\u2019m going to stick with Windows 11 and its new look, I did try StartAllBack (you can get a free, fully-functional, 30-day trial).\u00a0 For anyone looking to bring back some of the look and features of Windows 10 or Windows 7, StartAllBack may be worth the $4.99 price tag. If you have more than one Windows 11 computer, you can buy two licenses for two computers for $8.99.<\/span><\/p>\n Here are some screenshots.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Above: The \u201cWindows-7-style\u201d Start menu is the default regardless of which style you choose.<\/span><\/p>\n Above: The File Explorer Ribbon plus full right-click context menus.<\/span><\/p>\n Here are some of the features of StartAllBack.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Restore and improve taskbar<\/span><\/p>\n Show labels on task icons<\/span> Restore and improve File Explorer UI<\/span><\/p>\n Ribbon and Command Bar revamped with translucent effects<\/span> Restore and improve context menus<\/span><\/p>\n All new look with rounded acrylic menus<\/span> Restore and improve start menu<\/span><\/p>\n Launch apps and go to system places in one click<\/span> Finally, lightweight styling and UI consistency<\/span><\/p>\n Enjoy Windows 7, Windows 10 and third-party taskbar and start menu styles<\/span> Don\u2019t be blue: recolor UI in all windows apps<\/span> If you\u2019re interested in trying StartAllBack\u00a0you can download a fully-functional 30-day trial (and\/or read more about StartAllBack) here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Once you install StartAllBack it will appear in Control Panel \u2013 not in the Start menu.
