Steam opens new Start Menu 'mod' for sale for Windows 11

However, in fact, the Start menu on Windows 10 is not perfect and the radical redesign in Windows 11 has also encountered many criticisms.

To partially solve the problem, some third-party developers have launched applications that support changing the interface of the Start menu and taskbar in a way that is more suitable for personal experience. Start11 is such an application, and this famous tool is now officially available on Steam for users to buy and experience easily.

Developed by Stardock, Start11 is a popular application for customizing the Start menu and taskbar on Windows 10 or Windows 11. Start11 offers a lot of Start menu layout options for users to choose from. There are also other customization options available for the taskbar. Some taskbar features can also be accessed by modifying registry settings in Windows, such as moving the taskbar to the top of the screen.

Starting this week, Start11 is now available on Valve's Steam store for $5.99, and limited to one PC at a time. There will also be a 'discount' version for $8.99 for up to 5 PCs. There will be no recurring subscription form. Overall, it's a great choice for anyone who has a Steam gift card or store credit to spend, and wants to experience new look and feel for the Start menu and taskbar on their Windows PC. .

As for Microsoft, the company is still working on how to improve the Start menu and taskbar experience in Windows 11. Some improvements are expected to be introduced in the Windows 11 22H2 update released later this year, such as the ability to drag files to the application in the taskbar and some other widget features. However, Microsoft does not have the ability to remove some built-in tools, as well as add features that are not popular with the masses. So, alternatives like Start11 are worth experimenting with.
