Customize the Start Menu and Taskbar in Windows 11

 Start11 - the industry's most advanced start menu.

Start11 solves Windows 11's worst Start menu and taskbar sins.

Make your Start menu a personalized experience.

Choose from several styles from Windows 7 to 11, or our modern adaptation of classic styles.

Personalized to your preferences

Customize your Start menu by adding or removing sections, changing the icon, and moving it to the left or keep it centered.

Customizable from top to bottom

Easily change the colors, transparency, spacing, alignment and more.

Enhance your productivity with unique features.

Bring back features from previous versions of Windows and enable new functionality.

Restore classic functionality

Ungroup your windows and restore the context menu to the taskbar in Windows 11.

Add new functionality

Add links to local and network drives, individual folders, the recycle bin, and more.

Take complete control of your search experience.

Improve your search experience with minimal distractions and better results.

Customize your search experience

With a customized search experience, your most frequently used content appears higher in the results.

Advanced Index Functionality

When paired with the Edge browser, open tabs will also appear in your search contents.

Features:

Familiar

Replace the Start menu with a classic version. Choose from several styles such as Windows 7, Windows 10, or a modern adaptation of these classic menus that feels fresh and familiar.

Enhance

Bring back missing features from previous versions of Windows like moving the taskbar to top of your display or the Windows 10-style taskbar context menu.

Unleash a more powerful and integrated search experience that keeps you centered on your content.

Personalize

Make your Start menu match your personality with robust customization options that allow you to change styles, colors, transparency, shortcut links, rounded or squared corners, and much more.

Take control of the taskbar by adjusting its size, color, blur and more to make it match your personalized Start menu.

Control

Take complete control of your Start button by moving it to the center or the left, move it to the top of the screen, or change how the Start button responds to clicks, keypresses and more.

Change the icon grid styles to find the right configuration for your workflow - keep it compact for minimalism or space it out for easier touch input.

System Requirements:Windows 11

Start11 2.51 Release Changelog (Released 01/27/2025)

 Changes

    Limited vertical taskbar to half screen width maximum

    Resolved issue with turning on secondary screen taskbar when using a vertical taskbar, especially a right aligned one on the secondary.

    Resolved issues with DisplayFusion when replacing the OS taskbar on the secondary displays on Win11 with enhanced taskbar enabled.

    Linked to the above, resolved issues with multiple monitors when having no taskbar on the display and using apps which alter the work area

    Added a registry key S11_UseNewFolderBrowser which when set to "1" will tell Start11 to use newer style Folder picker windows.  This goes in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8 and is type string.

    Resolved the root cause of the non responsive secondary taskbar rather than the workaround that was in use

    Added in registry key "S11_OnlyShowReboot" to only show reboot option rather than any other options (business users)

    Ensured larger start buttons resize correctly when used on a vertical taskbar

    Resolved a positioning issue for certain custom start buttons when used on a vertical taskbar

    Tweaks to how work area sizes are calculated to handle slower applications such as ObjectDock (switching from autohide to non autohide sometimes caused the wrong amount of space to be allocated)

    System tray icons made slightly less spaced on vertical taskbars

    Resolved issue with run as admin for some other apps

    Further work area tweaks for mixed dpi setups

    Fixed black icons in universal apps menu when using Win7 style and apply colour to taskbar/start in the OS

    Disables more submenu and uninstalling option for web links

    Fixes run as admin and open file location links for some pinned items

    Fixes issue with start button positioning when you have no pinned items or running tasks

    Hide start button on vertical taskbars is not supported

 Fix for OS search being in search field mode with a top taskbar not working.  It is normal for the search box to disappear when in search in this mode

    NOTE: Hide start button on vertical taskbars is not supported

    Hopefully the issue with Explorer windows popping up on Win11 with ExplorerPatcher and potentially could happen on Win10 too.

    Resolved some issues with work areas with WinStep when using enhanced taskbar and Winstep reserving screen space.

    Resolved issue with running as admin for some pinned shortcuts in Win10/11/etc menus

    Resolved issue with non-functional taskbar buttons on the secondary screen when the focus is set to the taskbar or desktop sometimes

    Fix for workspace calculation when the taskbar is at the top of the screen in some situations

    Removed excess line in Win10 all apps list at the top.

    Tweak for apps which setup workspace areas that start at bootup

    Added two registry keys which go here HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8

    These apply to horizontal enhanced mode taskbars only.

    S11_PrimaryTBOverrideOffset = how far to offset the taskbar from the left screen edge in pixels.  Default is -1 which means auto

    S11_PrimaryTBOverrideWidth = How wide the taskbar should be in pixels.  If the above value isn't set then it centres the bar.

    These are primarily intended for use when a user has a very wide screen and is using tools like DisplayFusion and wants to limit where the taskbar is positioned. 

    They can also be used to make it look a bit more like a dock (non expanding for width) if you turn on rounded corners and use the overrideWidth value only.
