Question How can I revert to the original opening like in win 10- for win 11

[Novel8]

When I had win 10, I liked what I saw in the first screen....a list apps installed and settings and power. along side of if there were small boxes' of various areas where some of your tools, apps and weather . I originally had that when i first updated to win 11, but somehow its gone. Can someone tell me how i can get it back and stay this time until I personally want to c hange it?

You can use open shell to make the start menu (And many other parts of Windows) look any way you want, including having access to the control panel from the start menu instead of just "system settings".

description sounds like the windows 10 start menu

explorer patcher does it as well - https://www.elevenforum.com/t/how-to-make-windows-11-look-like-windows-10-in-2-minutes.15518/

Actually you may want both Explorer Patcher and Open Shell Menu to get your desktop to mimic Windows 10 .
