The good news is that with a combination of registry tweaks, third-party apps and other art works, you get a lot of the look and feel of Windows 10 back into Windows 11. The bad news is that Microsoft doesn’t seem to want you to use your existing UI, so it may disable any registry hacks you use in future updates. Here we outline an entire set of changes for different parts of the UI. You can use one, some one or none of them, and to create the look you want.

Get a fuller Windows 10 Start Menu.

Windows 11’s Start Menu isn’t profitable. This is at least 100 pixels taller than Windows 10. Despite its size, it still contains fewer icons, and takes the need to click the button “All apps”, to get an alphabetic list of your programs scrollable. We have a more detailed tutorial on how to replace Windows 11 Start, but you’re looking for the following two main options.

Start11: Our favorite starter menu replacement cost $99, but gives you a pretty good Windows-like interface with an extended taskbar if he wants to move it to the top or the top of the screen or change the size of the icons. There’s a 30-day trial, so you can look at you.

StartAllBack: This $4.99 Start Menu replacement does not have any Windows 7-like UI. Despite this, it’s also a better option, such as the ability to ungroup taskbar icones or the ability to turn into classic context menus, if you don’t get this, that you can both do with registry hacks.

Open-Shell: This is a simple open-source Start Menu, but you will, at the same time, get what you pay for. The most primitive interface available on Windows 11. You can only use the few most custom options because it hasn’t been updated to work explicitly with Windows 8. If you want, please get in touch.

If you have Open-Shell and don’t want to bring the old taskbar back, the only one which we can use to do is to change the buttons on the left. For this, just right click the taskbar, then select Objects of the taskbar, then navigate to the Objects’ -> left dropdown. Start button, a shell if you don’t upload custom ones, will then cover the Windows 11 button, and it will work. If you want to use Open-Shell and get the correct Start button icon, it’s necessary to replace the classic Windows 10 task bar and then use Open-Shell to stop printing the Start button. The classic taskbar has its own Start button for Windows 10 – this will also help.

Windows 10’s Classic Taskbar is available.

If you use Start-11 or StartAllBack, there are some options that let you take advantage of the Windows 10-like experience in the taskbar. For example, StartAllBack lets you ungroup the taskbar icons. Start11 lets you move the taskbar to the top of the screen, and both allow you to change the scale of the icons. If you haven’t used either the Start menu or want a more classic Windows 10 taskbar, there’s a registry modification that replaces the Windows 11 bar with the Windows 10 one. Nevertheless, many icons in this bar do not work and should be hidden or disabled, making it a low-key choice. There’s a searchbox with an ache that doesn’t work, and you might see the Cortana button that doesn’t work. The Task View button becomes much worse than useless as it crashes when you click it. This makes the taskbar able to hide the icons for a few seconds while it recovers, and you also have to hide it. Since Windows 11 taskbar’s Task View and Search buttons are disabled, this is not functional. It’s hard to find a new and interesting menu. You also need an external Start menu, because clicking the Start button on the classic taskbar won’t do anything but that. On the bright side of things, enabling the standard taskbar lets you back the Windows 10 files management (with ribbon) and the right-click Windows 10. If you don’t use a classic task bar, you can get them back in another way, we’ll explain in a section later. This also allows you to unlock a taskbar and drag it to the side of the screen. If you’re willing to work with the downsides, here’s some way out of getting Windows 10 taskbar in 11. Make sure that the other parties install the Start menu before proceeding with these steps.

  1. Open the regedit. You can do this using Windows key + R and enter the runbox.
  2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionShellUpdatePackages.
  3. Create a DWORD (32-bit) Value, DefiningDisabled, and set its value to 1:2. By right-clicking on the right corner of Regedit, then selecting New->DWORD (32-bit) Value, and then changing the key to the appropriate name and then double-clicking on the value dialog box.
  4. Close this new window and restart Windows. After you’ve got your desktop, you will get the Windows 10 Start menu. If you install your third-party Start menu, you can get a working Start menu that’s more compact than Windows 11 and has a search-like interface. You may notice that a clock, volume control and network icon is missing from the left side of the taskbar. You’d like to get them back.
  5. Hit the keyboard + R and enter shell::: 05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9 to launch the notification control panel.
  6. Call on or off the “Turn system icon”.
  7. Take The Volume, Toggle The Number, then Click OK. You’ll have those icons back on the right side of the taskbar; but you need to hide these icons you can’t use, particularly the Task View button, which crashes when you click the Task View button.
  8. Left click the table, and click the “Personalize” button.
  9. Open the tasksbar submenu.
  10. Move TaskView to Turnoff. If you really want to, you may leave the search box and/or Cortana button in place because they don’t cause any harm, but they also don’t do anything. So you might want to hide them.
  11. Just press the taskbar and click on the mark “Cortana Show” to make the task disappear.
  12. Open Regedit and go to the HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSearch.
  13. Set the Searchbox TaskbarMode to 0.
  14. Close and reboot Windows.

One’s working with the tool box.

One of the problems with Windows 10 is the ability to keep all the keyboards on each of your windows separate. Windows 10 and 11 together all windows, as well as your web browser, into a single icon. That means you should hover over the window titles. With Windows 10 and in Windows 11, you can change that behavior. You could remove tasks to add on the list of tasks to all of the tabs. If you don’t use StartAllBack and don’t have the classic taskbar enabled (see above), you can easily ungroup the icons using the following registry tweaks.

  1. Navigate to Regedit.
  2. If it isn’t already exist, create a DWORD (32-bit) value, and set it to 1. (h/t to use Dacrone on the Windows Eleven Forum for sharing this).
  3. Close the window and start Windows. You should see a number of icons for every window you have, especially for your browser.

Take a full menu.

Windows 11 is one of the greatest misguides for usability: its limited context menus show only a few options when you right-click and often leave out the most important ones. For example, when I tried to open a.txt file with right pointing, Windows 11 didn’t let me open it with Notepad++, a popular text editor that I installed. Of course, Windows 11 can solve this problem by focusing on another option – and the video menu provides the following information. But as I explain in our article that we can get the full context menus in Windows 11, there is a simple registry change that would bring the whole menu back to life. We have the details of all the steps. However, you must produce a registry key called 86ca1aa0-34aa-8e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2 under the HKEY-CURRENT_USER, and then create another key under the InprocServer32, and then re-set the default value to the blank space. If you have StartAllBack, you can also enable classic context menus from the Explorer tab.

Get Windows 10, 8.1, and it takes a lot of time.

Windows 10 doesn’t have the handy ribbon menu you see in the doc file explorer. This is annoying because many key functions, even when still available, are not so easy to find. There’s a couple of ways to get back the old, ribboned Windows 10 fileexplorer. If you use StartAllBack, you can install the Win 10 Ribbon UI in the Explorer tab. However, if you don’t use StartAllBack, there are a few registry adjustments you can use to get Windows 10’s File Explorer in Windows 11. If you’ve already activated the Windows 10 classic taskbar, you’d have already turned it on to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionShellUpdatePackages, and set DefaultLikeTimeZown, the classic File Explorer and the contextual menu are still active. If you don’t choose to use the classic taskbar, you’ll still get them back. Thanks to these steps (for learning about it, please Winaero).

  1. Go to ROALER’S HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionShell Extensions.
  2. If you don’t already have a registry key, get an updated key called Blocked.
  3. Make a String Value named e2bf9676-5f8f-435c-97eb-11607a5bedf7 in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsScatterPortsHell-Field Extensions.
  4. Close Regedit and restart Windows.

How to Buy Windows 10 Recycle Bins in Windows 11.

Windows 10 looks like a completely unpacked game without the same recycle bin icon. To be honest, the Windows 11 plastic bin isn’t totally different from the old version, but the view is somewhat different to the original view, but rather rather an image of the bin. You can still see the reversal icon for Windows 10 if you don’t have access to a copy of Windows 10.

  1. Grab the file imageres.dll.mun from the folder C:WindowsSystemResources on a Windows 10 PC.
