Windows 11 start button (Windows 10 style) is not available.

[Pt4723]

Excuse me，
1.

This style button can’t be used after Windows 24h2
Because Windows 10 Taskbar is not available, to use Windows 10 style taskbar, I can only use “Windows 10 (Explorer Patcher)”

Only these two can be used.

So, what can I do next? Or this button

will be added again? (I’m using Windows 11 25h2).

**2.**And

These two looks smaller than

when I using a large screen(3840*2160,225%)

Thanks very much.

Open up EP Properties application, go to taskbar, and set taskbar style to Windows 10 (ExplorerPatcher), not Windows 10. We no longer offer support on the stock Windows 10 taskbar.

please see this for more info: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/wiki/ExplorerPatcher's-taskbar-implementation

if you do not see Windows 10 (ExplorerPatcher), you need to uninstall and install the latest version of EP from here: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/releases

you upgraded to windows 11 24h2/25h2 from 23h2/24h2 without uninstalling EP first before doing the upgrade

but, This button can't be used anymore. And I'm using "Windows 10 (ExplorerPatcher)".

[Pt4723]

I want to use this button, but it can't be used anymore. And I'm using "Windows 10 (ExplorerPatcher)".(Maybe I did not express clearly, sorry.)
But, thanks for your answer.

[Pt4723]

Yes, I want to. But my coding skills is not good. Could you tell me what I should do next? Thank you very much.

Read the introduction section of it here: https://github.com/ramensoftware/windows-11-taskbar-styling-guide?tab=readme-ov-file#introduction

As I don't run windows 11, you're gonna have to learn this.

Or you can wait until setting the start button style is fixed in EP.

“Or you can wait until setting the start button style is fixed in EP.”
So, when will it become?

[pyrates999]

Please file an issue as it will ask you questions about your windows version, etc.

Keep this open as a request for a new feature to support custom start menu buttons.

What we really want is this start icon because it's nicer and smaller. There should be two options for the start menu icons:
The original Windows 11 icons, and the Windows 10 style Windows 11 icons :)

I do not have access to this github repo, so I can't do this for you.

[Pt4723]

So， how to do next?

[lightning7590]

I submitted my request to the developer. I hope it comes back. It was a really cute and beautiful Windows 11 start icon. The original one isn't very nice :) @Pt4723

I personally submitted my request to the program's developer. This icon was wonderful, and I hope it comes back. Thank you for your interest. @pyrates999
