Start11 (opens in new tab): Our favorite Start menu replacement costs $5.99, but gives you the most Windows 10-like interface, along with the option to move the taskbar to the top of the screen or change the size of the icons. There's a 30-day free trial so you can see for yourself.

StartAllBack: This $4.99 Start Menu replacement has more of a Windows 7-like UI, but it gives you some options that Start11 does not, including the ability to ungroup taskbar icons, or enable classic context menus, both of which you can do via registry hacks if you don't get this.

Open-Shell: This is a free, open-source Start Menu alternative but it also proves that you sometimes get what you pay for. It has the most primitive interface and, since it hasn't been updated to work explicitly with Windows 11, offers the fewest customization options.
