Stardock Start11 v2.5.3.1
Stardock Start11 is a Windows 11 customization tool designed to bring back the classic Start menu and enhance users' desktop experience. It offers a range of features and options that allow users to personalize their Start menu and taskbar to suit their preferences.
Make Your Desktop Yours
Take complete control of your desktop with Start11. With Windows 11, Microsoft chose form over functionality and removed many different features that were available in Windows 10. With Start11, you can customize the experience to fit your personality.
Features You Expect
Windows 11 removed many features that were present in Windows 10, Start11 brings them back. From the basics like returning the right-click menu on the taskbar to ungrouping of windows on the taskbar. You can also choose to have your icons centered on the taskbar with your Start menu left aligned.
One Desktop to Rule Them All
When working with multiple devices across various versions of Windows, Start11 can help you create a common desktop experience. Make Windows 10 look like Windows 11, or 11 look like Windows 10. Or how about making both Windows 10 and 11 look like Windows 7? The choice is yours.
Remove Unwanted Content
Windows 11 brings with it a new design language but also more advertisements and content that you can't remove. Take back complete control with Start11 and remove unwanted outside content and sections of the Start menu that you don't want to see.
