StartAllBack for Windows 11

[Archi]

Hello,

I'm looking for the option to reorder tabs of the same group on Windows 11.

It has been asked before on the forums. It was suggested here in May 2024 to use Taskbar2 alpha. It can be downloaded from here, correct? It's the latest version?

I also see that in September 2024 a StartAllBack test version was made for this. Is this the preferable solution over Taskbar2 alpha?

Both solutions are quite dated, so I was wondering if this is the latest info regarding this requested feature, or whether new info is available.

Thanks!

For some reason StartAllBack fails to hook the system context menu in Explorer and also the UWP apps system context menu completely stopped working due to UAC being enabled...

@Alloyd It's expected, as SAB doesn't hook into processes in administrative context.

its impossible to block CrossDeviceResume.exe processes like SearchUI which SaB does?

I've asked the dev of Block Start Menu and Hosts Windhawk mod to include both CrossDeviceResume.exe and CrossDeviceService.exe in the mod.

Win11 Experimental (Dev), currently 26300.8758 (but with the last build or two also). v3.9.23 (possibly also v3.9.22). Started 2-3 weeks ago.

A few days after booting (I boot maybe every 4-7 days, so I've seen this happen about 3 times now), I'm seeing Start/Run do this. It's new behavior this month, but the position of the taskbar, my color scheme (dark), nor any SaB settings have been changed for a very long time (not this year).

You can actually see all the items, but only one at a time as you cursor down the list. Normally, the dropdown is not white and you can see everything right away and continually.

I can no longer press "Alt" to toggle the menu bar when I set explorer to use the Windows 7 ribbon anymore. Anyone run into similar behaviour?

1. Replace the `input.dll` and `mutb.dll` files from Windows 11 (23H2) with those from Windows 10 (19045).
2. This allows the language bar (using the desktop language bar) to be perfectly locked to the taskbar on Windows 11 (23H2); however, later versions of StartAllBack also support this.
3. The workaround from step 1 remains effective up to version 26H1, but StartAllBack version 3.7.11.4917 does not support Windows 11 (24H2).

I hope the feature allowing the language bar to be pinned to the taskbar is preserved!
