Hello everyone,

I need to know if we will get the new start menu on Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 which is based on 24H2 with using enablement package of 25H2 update and also I'm still not getting the new start menu on regular Windows 11 Pro 25h2 OS build 26200.7840 and I'm in Middle Eastern region.

So let me know please and thank you.

    Hello,

    If the new Start Menu does not open automatically in Windows 11, 25H2, and 24H2, please force enable the new Start Menu.

    ViVeTool is an open-source tool that can manually enable hidden features (including the new Start menu). It works by calling Windows’ official Feature Management API to toggle feature flags, rather than modifying system files, so it is relatively safe — but you must use the correct feature ID.

    For details, you can refer to:

    The new Start Menu features are included in Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024, which is based on the 24H2 version. However, the availability of specific features like the new Start Menu may depend on the update and configuration of your system. If you are using the enablement package for the 25H2 update, you should check if all necessary updates have been applied correctly.

    As for the regular Windows 11 Pro 25H2 OS build 26200.7840, if you are not seeing the new Start Menu, it could be due to regional availability or other factors affecting the rollout of features in your area. It's recommended to ensure your system is fully updated and to check for any regional restrictions that might apply.
