My Win 10 Start menu has a lot of items in it, organised in folders. So, I "upgraded" to Win 11 and discovered the true awfulness of the new start menu - it didn't migrate the contents of the old WIN 10 menu, and it also lacked its functionality. I backed the so-called "upgrade" out after about 15 minutes.
After a bit of research I discovered Object Desktop and Start11. Start 11 (and some of the other utilities) looks generally good, but manual migration of my Win 10 start menu contents to it would be hugely painful.
So, what I need is a utility in Start11 that will import the current contents of the Win 10 menu to it (including the folder organisation) prior to the upgrade to Win 11, and then preserve the contents in Start11 across the upgrade to Win 11.
Is this likely to be available?
Hello,I don't think that is available yet. I have forward your request to the Stardock Support Team for their review and recommendations. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We really do appreciate your feedback, Thanks

I just installed version 1.15 of Start 11.
It was supposed to migrate the Windows 10 start menu to Start 11.That is a crucial feature for me.But it only migrated a small fraction of the Windows 10 start menu tiles to Start 11.
I'm beginning to be a little disappointed having been through beta versions from early on.I previously suggested a feature to export and import Windows 10 style start menus.That would give us a major functional improvement over native Windows 10 and 11.It would make both Microsoft efforts look half finished, which they are; especially Windows 11.
Why not have a separate product to manage start menu items in both native Windows 10 and Start 11?
I think it is best if you could report your issue with Version 1.15 beta in its respecting thread so the Dev team could review its issue there and respond to it accordingly. https://forums.stardock.com/510777
