StartAllBack for Windows 11

[Well]

Yep tried that, it makes the SAB re-create, but that is not the same as reinstall it seems, some process stays. I was just stupid, had to leave a pending "update" so I can run it whenever I need to fix that

Hi, I'd like to suggest an upgrade for links/custom toolbars. I've thought of 2 ideas:

1. Hide icons so the text is shown only:

2. Refresh file selection, as it looks very outdated in comparison to tasks highlight:

I know that probably barely anyone uses those, but these can be really useful if used with custom context menus. Here's one of the examples I've been working on lately:

After installation on Windows 11 Pro, 26100.4946 returns an error, but all the functions of the program work.

Here's a problem I noticed on two laptops so far – log in locally first, then log in with RDP, then log in locally again, and taskbar rendering will sometimes corrupt like this:

The computers where I noticed this are quite different, one is Ryzen 5 230 with integrated graphics, the other one is 10th gen i7 with some mobile Nvidia card.

In Dev and Canary builds, the Win+Shift+T shortcut for quick text extraction in the Snipping Tool doesn't work when StartAllBack is enabled.

Can the old navigation pane be brought back?

Why not just remove objects at the top (Home, Gallery and OneDrive) and pin OneDrive to either Quick Access space or the one at the bottom?

Please add this feature https://windhawk.net/mods/taskbar-thumbnails if possible, as both programs do not work together.

How do I use this? There are no such settings in the mode, and I was unable to get SAB to work with Windhawk.

[Tihiy]

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband, Value type is DWORD, Value name is NumThumbnails, Data can be set to 0

If Google doesn't help
