I think the developer just have forgot to change the version number in the main exe StartAllBackCfg.exe. but the main exe file is still called 3.)= Bring Back the Old File Explorer With a Third-Party Tool Here is how you can bring back the Windows 10 File Explorer on Windows 11 using StartAllBack: Select the Explorer tab from the left.

However, if you’re habituated to using those functions from the top of the File Explorer, you can get it back using StartAllBack or a registry tweak. At that page only the latest stable release is posted. That's why they are not mentioned at the official site. I have checked several more sites and found out that versions posted at is a kind of of beta/development builds. ( btw still no sign of this update (?), latest is from 22 Dec.

Even ignoring live tiles (which never really caught on), you still got resizable tiles that you could manually position, group, and put into folders.Windows 11’s start menu (last I looked) simply offers a block of Android-like icons and a huge recommendations section that doesn’t go away even if you dismiss all of the recommendations.
