SystemTrayMenu also gives the user more control over access to specific file and folder paths to launch apps, folders, and files.Īn added bonus is SystemTrayMenu is portable, so it doesn’t need to be installed right away.
SystemTrayMenu expands the System Tray menu to act as a Start Menu from the right side of your screen. SystemTrayMenu is an “open source ‘Desktop Toolbar’ or ‘Start Menu’ alternative” available on GitHub. In this guide, we will look at the best free Github projects to customize Start menu layout on Windows 11. Windows 11 users (and those remaining on Windows 10) want the power to edit and customize their Start Menu how they want it. StartAllBack (formerly StartIsBack) is a tool to edit the Windows 10 Start Menu only, but it can’t be used on Windows 11.Īnother, Start Menu X is free to download, but charges $10 for the “pro version” of software that looks like it was created in the very early days of Windows 10, There are similar paid apps out there, but they are often outdated.
The problem is Start11 is not free, and I am not sure I want to pay for another app that doesn’t have all the features I want. Using applications such as Stardock’s Start11 allow you to make Windows 11 look and act more like Windows 10. The new Windows 11 Start Menu layout has limited options for customization.
