The app that caused Microsoft to block Windows 11 updates.

According to numerous reports, Microsoft has begun blocking Windows 11 updates on systems with the StartAllBack application installed. When users attempt to download the latest preview version, they receive an error message indicating that the application poses potential performance or security risks.

StartAllBack is an application that helps customize the Windows 11 Start menu.

The warning stated: “This application cannot run because it has security or performance issues on Windows. A newer version may be available. Check with your software vendor to see if an updated version works with this version of Windows.”

Although the blocking doesn't prevent StartAllBack from working on current versions of Windows 11, it does affect access to the latest updates for the operating system. However, there appears to be a workaround, at least for now. Some users have found that uninstalling StartAllBack, updating Windows 11, and then reinstalling the application using a renamed executable file helps bypass Microsoft's restriction.

The app developer acknowledged the issue and confirmed that a simple renaming trick would allow StartAllBack to bypass Microsoft's scrutiny. However, they also warned that future Windows updates could potentially break this workaround after the trick information is revealed.

Microsoft's blocking of StartAllBack has sparked criticism from a segment of the Windows community. While the company may cite security and compatibility reasons for restricting certain applications during the update process, many see this as an example of Microsoft's 'hostile' attitude toward programs that modify or replace core components of the Windows user interface.
