How to restore the old Start Menu on Windows 11
The new Windows 11 Start Menu is awful. How can I revert it? I also want to remove the automatically added folders.

Yep. The only good thing to come out of Win8 was the wide, customizable, tiled Start Menu system.
Never one to keep a nice feature when something kludged, bugged and irritating
is available MS replaced it by something inspired by a previous century cellphone.
Start11 fixes the wreck but I cannot get past having to annually pay to fix something that was not broken
in Win10 and I already shelled out $1200 because our perfectly OK laptops were not upgradable to 11.
