"With native ARM support for Start11 v2 , this means that you can use the latest Windows 11 devices, powered by Qualcomm Elite chips, with Start11 v2 to make these new devices a more personalized and productive desktop."
The latest build has more updates than platform support for the best Windows on ARM laptops . However, it's the most exciting addition since I still use a previous-generation Surface Pro X and have long awaited a third-party fix for Microsoft's frustrating design changes. To be completely transparent, I'm a nostalgia addict with rose-tinted goggles firmly attached to Windows, so I'll always fall back to the old-style Start menu whenever I can, and I love it here with Start11 v2 .

Stardock offers a free trial for Start11 v2 , and single-device subscriptions start at $7.99 . Alternatively, you can access it as part of Object Desktop , a more comprehensive suite of customizable options for Windows 11 that allows users to apply themes to their desktops and even restore Windows 2000 aesthetics . I recommend starting with Start11 v2 to test the Start menu customizations and graduate to Object Desktop to experiment with Stardock's full range of Windows 11 tweaks.
