Stardock Start11 Review
Windows application software download free
Stardock Start11 is an excellent software for bringing back the classic Start menu and Taskbar to Windows 11 - and it's not just a pretty face. It offers robust configuration options, multiple layout choices, and aesthetic options to make the Start menu truly your own.
The Windows Start Menu is an integral part of Windows, and it's a great way to quickly access your most frequently used items. However, many users find the new design of Windows 11 to be unfriendly.
Its Start button is no longer aligned to the left and it's not easy to pin Live Tiles – though you can use settings in Windows to change this.
You can also take control of the Start button by transferring it to the center or the left, changing how it responds to clicks, keypresses and more – or move it to the top of the screen.
There's a range of robust customization options for your Start menu that allow you to change styles, colors, transparency, shortcut links, rounded or squared corners, and much more. You can also take full control of your taskbar, adjusting its dimension, coloration, blur and more to match your personalised Start menu.
The program supports multi-monitor support for independently defining window grouping on secondary monitors, and you can resize the taskbar for better viewing on 4K displays. You can even add folders and "fences" to the Start menu, though we haven't tested this feature yet.
