Actually, I will not offer any adv for me; my start menu is almost empy.
What I need more is dark mode for legacy Notepad.
Why I am avoiding preview updates and waiting a couple of days before downloading monthly ones

After installing that update, I haven't noticed any of the supposed changes either. Administrator Protection, which I thought to be the most interesting news, was also said to be included. It's nowhere to be found in my security settings, though.

Administrator Protection, which I thought to be the most interesting news, was also said to be included. It's nowhere to be found my security settings, though.
This is from a Leo search:
- Administrator Protection is part of a broader security initiative and is designed to provide just-in-time elevation of privileges using Windows Hello authentication.
- The feature requires a reboot to take effect after being enabled via Windows Security, Group Policy, or Intune.
- It is available on all editions of Windows 11, including Home, Pro, Enterprise, and Education, allowing both enterprise and home users to benefit.
- The rollout is phased, meaning users who install the update may not immediately see the Administrator Protection toggle, as Microsoft enables it for specific device cohorts over time.

I do the same. I take incremental image (usually takes less than a minute) and install updates. If anything breaks I restore the image (takes arround 5 minutes) and wait untill they fix the problem.A C:\ image on this PC only takes 24 seconds, I have no reason not to, pretty failsafe, but that's just me
The new menu can only be activated manually.
This news was released a few days ago:
Windows 11 finally has a new and much-improved Start menu, here is how to enable it

It's a shame they didn't make it easier, something that to enabled it could be enabled via a start menu right-click option, or from the Settings?

That's ridiculous. I'll pass on the new Start menu. They're crazy at Microsoft.

I've only installed the preview on my test laptop so far. Every time I shut down the laptop, I get the message: "Updates are still running, do not shut down." I'm currently trying to uninstall the update.

I uninstalled the preview update. When I then ran Windows Update, Windows immediately started reinstalling it. Windows Update didn't suggest it to me; it just started the update process right away. It's unbelievable what Microsoft gets up to.
I don't even use Start much. Mostly taskbar.
It will probably roll out more widely as time goes on.
Probably because you uninstalled while it was still in the install process, so it just proceeded to install it again.
Same here, the only things I pretty much access from start that I don't have on my taskbar, are Defrag and Disk Cleanup. Otherwise, it's so much quicker just to tick the taskbar app icons.

The preview update has been showing as installed in the update overview for several days now. What else was being installed in the background is a mystery to me.

I rarely use the Start menu either. I launch programs either via the taskbar or via icons on the desktop.
I use taskbar for the most frequently used apps, and keep the less frequent ones for start menu; I do not visit desktop at all, even recyle bin was removed.

Preview updates KB5067036 and .NET Framework preview update KB5067931 have been reinstalled. When shutting down the PC, there is no longer a message indicating that updates are still running and that the computer should not be turned off. Something must have gone wrong during the previous installation of these two updates.
You clean install what version 25H2?
Me too; it is a shorter trip than to desktop.I'm not sure how to say this but, I actually like the 11 start menu, I do have some shortcuts on my desk but I use the start menu a fair bit & I do like it (are we still friends?)
yes, and the update continues to fail after a complete clean install I guess I'll have to wait for a fix as at this point nothing much more I can do.
