<\/strong>We featured this tip back in May 2022, but it mostly fell on deaf ears because very few of you were using Windows 11 then.\u00a0 Now, things have changed. Based on the emails we received, many more of you are using Windows 11. <\/span><\/p>\n Windows 11 is a minimalistic operating system. In Microsoft’s attempt to simplify things, they’ve made it harder for those of you who are used to\u00a0 Windows 10 to get used to Windows 11.<\/span><\/p>\n Although I will stick with Windows 11 and its minimalist look, I did try StartAllBack and I was impressed with the ease of installation and how much it changed the “look” of Windows 11.\u00a0 It does make Windows 11 look like a hybrid of Windows 7 and Windows 10.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For anyone looking to bring back some of the look and features of Windows 10 or Windows 7, StartAllBack is worth the very reasonable $ 4.99-license fee. If you have more than one Windows 11 computer, you can buy two licenses for two computers for $8.99. Both are lifetime licenses, not annual subscriptions. If you want to try it, you can get a free, fully functional, 30-day trial that gives you plenty of to decide if it meets your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n Here are some screenshots from StartAllBack: Above: The \u201cWindows-7-style\u201d Start menu on Windows 11. The Windows 7 style is the default regardless of which style you choose.<\/span><\/p>\n Above: The File Explorer Ribbon plus the full Windows 10 right-click context menu instead of the truncated Windows 11 context menu.<\/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><\/p>\n Fix UI inconsistencies in Win32 apps<\/span><\/p>\n 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. You can uninstall it using Control Panel\/Programs or using Settings > Apps > Apps & features.<\/span><\/p>\n For many users, Windows 11\u2019s \u201cminimalistic look” can be difficult to get used to.\u00a0 If you prefer the more user-friendly functionality and look of Windows 10 \/ Windows 7, StartAllBack might be just what you\u2019re looking for. And, as we pointed out earlier,\u00a0 you can try it for free for 30 days<\/a> to see if it meets your needs. If you decide you like it and want to keep it, you can get a lifetime license (a real lifetime license – no games) for $4.99 for one PC, $8.99 for two PCs, or $11.99 for three PCs.
