Windows 11 keeps evolving with frequent updates, new layouts, and feature experiments. With the Windows 11 25H2 update, Microsoft introduced an updated Start menu design that many users either love or strongly dislike.
If you are one of the users who prefers the older layout, this is where Start Menu Switcher comes in.
Start Menu Switcher is a lightweight Windows tool that lets you instantly switch between:
-
✅ OLD (24H2 Classic Start Menu)
-
✅ NEW (25H2 Updated Start Menu)
All from a clean modern UI, without typing commands manually.
What is Start Menu Switcher?
Start Menu Switcher is a small desktop app built to make switching the Windows 11 Start menu design easy and safe.
Instead of opening an Administrator Command Prompt and running ViVeTool commands yourself, you simply click one of the two buttons inside the app.
It uses the Windows feature flag:
Feature ID: 47205210
This is the same flag used in many manual tutorials for enabling or disabling the updated Start menu layout.
Why This App is Useful
Many Windows users want the classic layout back because:
-
The new Start menu feels less familiar
-
The pinned apps and sections are rearranged
-
Some users prefer the old classic layout for speed and simplicity
-
Manual feature flag changes are annoying to repeat
Start Menu Switcher solves that by giving you an easy toggle interface.

🎨 Modern Colorful UI
The app includes a modern, colorful interface designed to feel clean and easy to use.

-

Is It Safe?
Start Menu Switcher doesn’t modify system files. It simply enables or disables a Windows feature flag. That said, Microsoft can change or remove feature flags in future updates, so results may vary across builds.
A restart or sign out is required after switching.
