StartAllBack for Windows 11

[Tihiy]

You can move on; your feedback is considered. Not implementing this right now, but maybe later.

It's never safe, any build can break it.

Oh, that's too sad. Thanks for the information, though!

Well it's patching explorer and you are running a pre-production build where changes are being made to explorer. What would you expect? Everything to completely work 100% of the time?

This is why when using software like SAB it's best to stay on production as I'm certain Tihiy is testing every Canary build in a VM for major issues and patching them before they can make it down the pipeline to prod.

I would advise against using Dev or Canary on your main machine, explore it in a VM safely where there's no risk of data loss or other issues.

Is there a way to fix the systemtray not being themed properly? The Systray skinned fine in SAB 3.6.16 (I figured it would probably be implemented in the future considering the new systray is still new)

I also showed a picture on how it showed look (but im sure by now everybody knows how it should look lol)

What theme is that?

No, not exactly 100% of the time. I perfectly understand why it won't work.

Also, I like using Canary Channel to know what's being baked into Windows 11 very early. No important data inside my main machine, so no worries.

it was made for StartIsBack++ in mind, not StartAllBack

It's safest to play with canary in a VM not on bare metal.

Actually, instead of getting the Canary build, I will consider getting the latest stable Windows 11 build (22631 at the time of this writing) in a VM and install StartAllBack from there. Thanks for the advice!

StartAllBack is being intentionally blocked by Microsoft in the latest Canary/Dev update (26100.1). Or it's automatic, who knows.

I wonder if this is the end of the classic taskbar.

Anyone get to 26100 successfully with SaB?  WU just reboots right back into Windows for me and reports a WU error of  0xc1900101. I've never seen SaB cause that before, but considering the above dialog (which I didn't see because I wasn't doing an ISO-style update, which I assume is what that was from) I have to consider the possibility. Retrying it a couple more times yielded the same result. Am on 3.7.8 (26090).

Update; If this is because of SaB, it would be pretty puzzling since it also occurs after disabling SaB.

I'm wondering if Microsoft is targeting SAB? If so how would @Tihiy get around that? I guess we'll find out soon!

Edit: @rseiler if you uninstall SAB, update and reinstall SAB what happens? I'm wondering if the classic taskbar is totally gone now.

0xc1900101 is an unrelated issue. MS screwed up the bootloader for the new installs, so it just keeps reverting.
