Not free, but for 5 bucks this is the route I'd probably go to get my classic start menu and taskbar back, if I was forced to use Win11 tomorrow. The big one for me is getting the labels back on open programs in the taskbar.
I think it has a free trial so you can try it out.

Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.

So you don't like the new 11 desktop? I think it's a lot better than 10, but I do miss the classic one.

I think the new start menu is better than Win10, but it still breaks my work flow, and I have never liked combining open windows into one taskbar icon, with no title.
