OMFG I love it. I updated to 24H2 and the forced taskbar thumbnail previews were absolutely rage-inducing. RAGE-INDUCING.
That's what pointed me to StartAllBack. But I found a lot more that made me stick with it: I could reorder taskbar items without Windows infuriatingly and randomly locking them down for no apparent reason... I could dump that god-awful app ElevenClock... No longer did I have to deal with that horrific "..." menu when I had the audacity to have more than about three taskbar...

StartAllBack is the main reason I can not just stand to use windows 11, but actually enjoy it. Combined with Winaero Tweaker, WPD and/or O&O shutup, and a dash of ThisIsWin11 and you have the recipe for a pretty nice Windows 11 experience overall.

I tried ExplorerPatcher also but it was terrible and more system-invasive.
Yes! I like it. It seems to be a cure to the insane spaghetti like Windows 11 UI. Sadly it's expensive. I'm not sure that I will pay the price unless I could not find a better alternative.
It brings back windows 10 context menu.
Sadly its Paid, but instead of OpenShell works on ARM CPUs.
I tried StartAllBack, ExplorerPatcher and Start11 and find that StartAllBack ExplorerPatcher Start11.
SAB integrates with Windows 11 better. It can inherit many native Win11 designs whereas to customize taskbar in EP you have to use many Win10 designs. The only thing I miss from EP is that it allows you to show the start menu based on which monitor your cursor is at. As for S11, it's just terrible. For example it doesn't even allow you to move taskbar to the side, the UI is a mess, and you have to restart the computer to uninstall it, ugh.
Like others have said, this is what kept me on windows 11. I refuse to use an OS where you can't see and interact with with application windows without having to drill down context menus. But the start meny from startallback is also such a breath of fresh air. BIG thanks to the developers. It's worth every penny i paid for it. I simply can't get my work done without it without going completely mad. MS seriously need to rethink their UI/UX strategy if they want to keep me as a customer.
