The developer went above and beyond and made an ARM compatible version. It is working on ARM Windows 11 Pro via Parallels. Look for it on github.

It brings back much needed functionality that Windows team remove. It amazes me Microsoft don't promote or offer support for this much needed improvement to their Standard windows 11 offering.

It allows me to bring a few features back that were removed (or, at least, disabled) in Windows 11 that were present and available in Windows 10.
Further, I would not say this is an alternative to something like Open Shell. In fact, these two actually COMPLEMENT each other.
These two FREE packages make a formidable team that will allow you to work with Windows 11 in ways you're far more used to.
In my case, I'm partying like it's 2000. Windows 2000, that is. :3

Comments and Reviews
Great alternative to paid Windows 11 taskbar / start menu replacements. Highly configurable and easy to use.

Artistically fabricated, gives user control what to change or not, does this w offering full awareness to the user of what it changes, it even includes a debug console, open source.
I'm missing all UWP apps in Windows 10 style menu. Is it some option i can't find or a bug? They are all there in Windows 11 style menu.
