StartAllBack is StartIsBack’s Windows 11 Start / taskbar / Explorer skin (not Microsoft). Official: startallback.com. Current: v3.9.25. Same family as StartIsBack++ on Windows 10. “StartAllBack 3.9 unlocked” is not them. Trial first, then a paid key. This hooks Explorer — after a big Windows update, get the newest StartAllBack before you panic. Hold Esc at logon if a stale build bricks the shell. Not Start11 (Stardock).

Home: startallback.com.
winget: winget install StartIsBack.StartAllBack --scope machine
Do not run StartAllBack_3.9_Full.exe. That is not StartAllBack.

Work PCs: volume from the vendor. Don’t deploy a patched StartAllBackX64.dll.

Install 3.9.25 · Need StartIsBack for Win10? · Already licensed?


If you searched for “StartAllBack 3.9 full,” “2026 portable,” or “activated”

There is no extra unlocked setup.

A “3.9.25 pre-activated” folder plus a patched licence is stolen licensing. Grey-market keys are often recycled.

Chinese reseller sites are not the developer download.


Your download should start on startallback.com

If the EXE is 40 MB named SAB_Pro_2026, leave. Official setup is about 2 MB.

What to do next

  1. startallback.com → Download v3.9.25.
  2. Run StartAllBack_3.9.25_setup.exe.
  3. Sign out / Explorer restart if asked.
  4. Right-click Start → StartAllBack properties.
  5. After Patch Tuesday: check their site again.

Typical install is tiny; it patches the shell, not Office.

Safe disable: hold Escape while signing in to skip StartAllBack if a build mismatches.


Windows may warn you. Check the publisher.

  • Publisher should read StartIsBack / StartAllBack.
  • SmartScreen is common on a 2 MB UI hook. Use More info only if that name matches.
  • Do not turn off Defender to “activate 3.9.”
  • Microsoft may warn that third-party shell tools can block upgrades until you update them (24H2-era lesson).

Trial and licence

Trial (vendor / mirrors mention on the order of 30–100 days). Then a perpetual key from startallback.com. One PC typical; hardware change may need a re-activate, not a second purchase.

A $3 “lifetime 2026” keygen is not StartAllBack.


Will it run on this PC?

Windows 11 only for this SKU (they call out 23H2 / 24H2 / 25H2 and Insiders). 2 GB RAM class PCs are fine. ~2 MB download. x64. Update StartAllBack before or right after large Windows builds so Explorer doesn’t eat itself. Not a Windows 10 app.

Already installed? 3.9.25 over it. You do not hunt a second “full.”


Install, first Start menu, and the key

First run

  1. Open StartAllBack settings.
  2. Win10 / Win7 / other style.
  3. Taskbar labels if you want them.
  4. Register when trial ends.
  5. Don’t mix two Start-menu tools.

Uninstall: Settings → Apps (shell returns to stock Win11).

If it did not work

  • Black taskbar after 25H2 — get 3.9.25, or Esc at login.
  • Trial ended — no seat.
  • 8 MB SAB_Unlocked — leave.

Why people still buy official StartAllBack

  • Labels, left Start, classic menus
  • 3.9.25 still chasing 25H2 / Insiders (Aug 2026)
  • Tiny installer

It will not add features Microsoft removed from the OS kernel.


Questions before you trust the installer

Is this the official file?
Yes if it came from startallback.com (~2 MB) and the publisher matches.

Win10?
That’s StartIsBack++, not AllBack.

Safe?
Official StartAllBack installer. Forum “3.9 full” files are the risk. Keep it current after Windows updates.


After you have the file

Install 3.9.25 from startallback.com. Register a real key. Update again after the next Windows drop.
