Hello Erhan

Here is a way you can try, but it involves editing the registry, which can be risky if you are not careful. Here are the steps to do it:

1. Press Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog box. Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
2. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
3. Right-click on an empty space in the right pane and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name the new value Start_ShowClassicMode.
4. Double-click on the Start_ShowClassicMode value and change its data to 1. Click OK to save the change.
5. Restart your computer or sign out and sign back in to apply the change. You should now see the Windows 10 start menu in Windows 11.

Please Note: Editing the registry is risky, please back up your important data before editing.
