    Hi, I'm Bernard, a fellow Windows user. I'm happy to help!

    As of now, there is no update on whether the classic Start Menu will be brought back, since Windows 11 uses the new Start Menu design. I recommend submitting your suggestion through the Feedback Hub so the developers are aware of your concern and may consider it for future updates.

    Currently, there is no built-in option in Windows 11 to switch to or fully customize the Start menu to resemble the classic Windows style (like Windows 7). Users can make some adjustments under Settings > Personalization > Start to customize a few behaviors and layout preferences. However, if you want a classic-style Start menu, you would need to use a third-party utility such as Open-Shell to achieve that customization.
