Note: Since Xiaobian has been upgraded to the latest Win11 Build 25267 version, the latest version of StartAllBack 3.5.6 does not support the Dev channel version, so here is a simple screenshot borrowed from colleagues Changhe computer, CTOnews.com users can adjust according to needs.

Restore Start Menu

Recovery File Manager Win10 System File Manager has a ribbon that displays various actions for quick access. In Win11 File Explorer, many menus are hidden under ellipses (three-dot) menus.

Users were previously able to restore Windows 10's File Manager ribbon in Win11 by modifying the registry. However, after the Windows 11 22H2 feature update, the registry mode has been disabled. Currently the only reliable way to recover Win10 File Manager is through third party applications.

Using Win10 Wallpapers

After restoring some functionality on the interface, one more thing we need to do is use Windows 10 wallpaper to make it feel more like Windows 10.

This part of the operation is very simple. If the user has saved the corresponding photo locally, then directly select this image, and then right-click to set it as wallpaper. If the user does not have a photo, then you can click here to download this picture (resolution 2560*1600), other resolutions Win10 default wallpaper please find yourself.

After downloading the image, the user right-selects the image and clicks "Set as desktop background."
