In that case, StartAllBack seems to fit the picture: StartAllBack to fix Win 11 UI issues 

Thanks, @shteve !

I tried a couple of these back in the day, but they were so buggy as to be unusable.

This, however, looks like a keeper! 👍

Anyone updated to Win11's 23H2 yet ? Any issues ?

I checked and I'm on 23H2. Didn't notice any difference.

Jeez ... I hate it when paid apps try to bully you ! 🤬 

Currently I've got:

- NordVPN trying to upsell several different addons both by email, and in-app (albeit as a small banner).

- MS Word wanting me to save to their cloud rather than my C-drive. A recent update must have changed this default.

There's also a "Save to computer by default" option a bit down from the one in your screenshot.

This is ridiculously fiddly for such a mature app!

For me in MS Word, some words are not being identified as misspelled, so you need to add them to a custom list ... manually!

Incredible the disruption this is causing, and on a Friday, too. Had never even heard of CrowdStrike till today ... 

On 19 July, a faulty CrowdStrike update caused BSODs on Windows machines, affecting millions of Windows computers worldwide.

Affected machines were forced into a bootloop, making them unusable. The downtime caused widespread global impact, including grounding of commercial airline flights, temporarily taking Sky News offline, and impacting 911 emergency call centers.

The blue screen of death is reported with a stop code of PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA from the csagent.sys driver.

Sheesh ... I've not had an email from them in years ... but this likely explains the occasional spam actually in my Inbox over these last few weeks (Gmail is usually incredibly good at sending stuff to the spam folder).
