Wow, thanks for pointing me at Classic Window Switcher, this is exactly what I've been missing for the last year!

It works fine for me, but I'm using the executable to load it (though I did patch the .exe to include uiAccess="true" in the manifest, and I added a signature, which makes it work even when an elevated process has focus).

Working great now! Thank you very much!

I have a weird situation. I've installed StartAllBAck on a fresh install of Windows 11 25H2 and copied the exact same settings and is on my other pc, but when i click on the Start Menu, the All Programs doesn't automatically load like it does on my other pc.
Any reason this could be happening? Both pcs are on 25H2 and 3.9.18

All Programs will load by default only if you have recent programs disabled and no apps pinned

 I noticed with the new battery icon, the smart charging heart on supported laptops doesn't appear.  I'm not sure if that's intentional.

There isn't a way to show heart there afaik. Or is there a heart with native taskbar?

There is a heart with the native taskbar, but I do not have the new icons on the native taskbar to be able to do a direct comparison.  I wasn't sure if maybe they deprecated the heart with smart charging.  There is a heart in control center though.

Yeah that's right. Thanks

When using dark magic sharp corners and a custom msstyles after restarting the computer the highlight over the start button is rounded.

You guys are awesome 👍🙏

Fixed

Many thanks

Sorry to have to ask, but can anyone tell me why this strange color of the progress bar and folder names ? The blue is NOT the accent color, in case anyone is wondering.

Happened after the latest two updates, one of Windows (26200.7309), second of SAB (3.9.19).

 

LE : I tried with SAB disabled, still same crappy blue. So not caused by SAB, I think, but I would still love to get rid of the blue accent and progress bar, if anyone has any idea, I would be grateful.

Désolé de devoir demander, mais quelqu’un peut-il m’expliquer pourquoi cette couleur étrange de la barre de progression et des noms de dossiers ? Le bleu n’est PAS la couleur d’accent, au cas où quelqu’un se poserait la question.

Cela s’est produit après les deux dernières mises à jour, l’une de Windows (26200.7309), la seconde de SAB (3.9.19).

 

LE : J’ai essayé avec SAB désactivé, toujours le même bleu pourri. Donc ce n’est pas causé par le SAB, je pense, mais j’aimerais quand même supprimer l’accent bleu et la barre de progression, si quelqu’un a une idée, je lui en serais reconnaissant.

Microsoft added the blue color to this progress bar with dark mode.
I saw this in the Insider builds, it seems they added it in the latest CU.

MS is gradually removing the ugly green.
