# Get back Windows 10 style start menu on Windows 11

Open the registry editor and navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Start_ShowClassicMode

If Start_ShowClassicMode doesn't exist, create a new DWORD

Change DWORD=1 to enable classic Start

Logout and log back in to see the old start menu

Njoy :)
