Let me give you more detail here:
Windows 11 Insider Build 27858, I'm Canary branch, so I expect things to break from time to time.
When I installed the patch, it had overwrote the start menu settings and forced it back to the default Win 11 Start menu style. So I figured just swap it back and no issue, but the settings in Start11V2 didn't change this time.
So I figured I'd try the beta release, and it worked on install, changed the menu. Once I rebooted, Windows 11 took the task back over again, restarting services doesn't change it either.
I'm happy to provide any feedback / logs that might be helpful to the team.
