Don't like the new Start menu in Windows 11? There are a few tweaks that will make it a lot more useful. And beyond that, there are apps that will bring back the Windows 10 Start menu.

You decide what appears under Start. For example, you can add shortcuts to Settings, Explorer, or your Pictures folder — so you can find them quickly HOW?

I checked my Group Policies and there is nothing in there restricting me from adding shortcuts to the taskbar either. I am running the latest verison of Windows 10.
