The menu can still be activated with the 'Windows' key however, so it isn't completely inaccessible. ( Start Menu no longer opens from Windows key in latest Insider builds #1165)įixed by Windows 11 start button support #1222 The Start button has been completely changed, and no longer works with OSM by default. New: The Windows Key bind no longer works without setting OSM to Shift+Win. This is the behavior that I have seen so far: (Some of these may have changed since I first wrote them) Microsoft has done a considerable amount of work changing many core parts of the new Windows 11 interface, including the Start menu and taskbar, which obviously affects how Open-Shell works. I wanted to make a discussion on the status of Open-Shell and Windows 11 just to get some information out there. I will continue to update this when I have more findings.
