It's not what you think. Start menu and search bar looks like the old version but it doesn't work. Nothing happens when you click on it or press Windows button.

Jul 30, 2021Now I understand !
It is necessary to report to the engineering team!
But I actually don't want so many changes in Windows11

- DrakiniteJul 30, 2021Copper ContributorAgreed, and I would honestly be REALLY happy if I had the option to keep the windows 10 style taskbar (if it worked). I hate the fact that they removed the option to show labels in the taskbar, making it icon-only.
- AnthonyJul 31, 2021Steel ContributorI don't know. I went from Windows 10 DEV to Windows 11 DEV when the first DEV build was released and I didn't have the Taskbar issue. I know even then some people had the issue of the Windows 10 taskbar showing up in the Windows 11 build and reported it on Feedback Hub last month. It's happened again with this build it seems. At first some people thought Microsoft was testing different versions of a Windows 11 Taskbars in the same build but it seems that wasn't the case and it's some type of issue some people experience when going over to Windows 11. I guess one can wait into the next Beta Channel build is released.
- AnthonyJul 31, 2021Steel ContributorIt was there up into build .100 through a registry edit. People found a way to return the taskbar to the Windows 10 taskbar on Windows 11 through a registry edit hack. But Microsoft patched it before the last Dev release so that hack no longer worked. It seems if Microsoft had any intentions of keeping a classic taskbar format for a Windows 10 taskbar option in Windows 11 then they changed course and will be only allowing the Windows 11 taskbar in Windows 11. However, like I said in an above reply, you can still option to have the start menu position to the left.
I like the current Windows 11 taskbar/start menu, but I understand people still like the old Windows 10 version.- Hardeep SinghJul 31, 2021Copper ContributorYou didn't understand the problem though. I want the new taskbar but I'm stuck with the old one. And the start menu doesn't even work leaving the system unusable.
