Users should replace Windows 11's Start menu with a better alternative

Windows 11's Start menu has been criticized for its layout and limited customization. Microsoft has made minor improvements since its 2021 launch. Third-party apps now offer alternatives for a more customizable experience. Several programs, like Start11, StartAllBack, and Open Shell Menu, replace the default Start menu. These offer different layouts, including those similar to Windows 7 and 10, along with customization options. These alternatives allow users to modify the menu's appearance, functionality, and taskbar. They also provide features like folder creation and traditional menu designs, unavailable in the current Windows 11 Start menu.
