Forget Windows 10 taskbar, you can now have Windows 7 Start menu and taskbar on Windows 11

Explorer7 is a third-party project that allows users to integrate the classic Windows 7 taskbar into modern operating systems, primarily focusing on Windows 8.1, but also compatible with Windows 10 and 11. It is currently available as a public beta, requiring a Windows 7 image file for installation, which adds complexity. A significant limitation is that modern applications, including those from the Microsoft Store and essential stock apps like Settings, cannot run on Windows 8.1, 10, or 11 when using Explorer7. Known issues include the inability to run UWP/Metro UI apps, lack of support for multi-monitor taskbars, potential autoplay functionality issues, missing context menu entries, and limitations in the all programs list functionality. Users may also experience problems with thumbnails, icon badges, accent color changes, notification icon settings, and unusual color behavior on the taskbar. More information is available on its forum page at winclassic.net or its GitHub repository.
