Windows 11 22000.194 Start11

Secondary monitor task bar height incorrect.

When taskbar is set to small the primary monitor uses a half normal height taskbar with small icons but the secondary monitor keeps a full height task bar with small icons.

Can there be a clock on the secondary taskbar?

Edit

This was fixed by reinstalling Nvidia drivers.

Thank you for reporting this, we will investigate further as it should support touch.

taskbar empty, explorer restarting on taskbar click, only 3 or 4 icons on the right if set start menu icon left<>middle

had to boot secure  & uninstall rc1

I am having exact same issue as fjgrayaz.  After install, reboot, blank taskbar, system very sluggish, explorer is 20 to 50% utilization, click on taskbar causes explorer to restart.  I have to uninstall Start11 to even use the system.  Beta worked fine, RC1 does not work at all.  Same 194 build.  I would include screenshots but I can't hardly do anything while start11 is running. 

Thank you for the report, we will investigate as clearly thats not normal.

Do you have anything else installed which might interact with explorer either from Stardock or other places?

I have moved you both here - created a new thread where I have asked some questions.  Please review it and continue to post there.

Running W11 Pro, 22000.194.

Default W11 start menu shows correct user name. I'm logged in with a Windows account, so it shows my first and last name:


Start 11 with W11 style, shows the name of the original user that Windows (10) was once set up with (Eigenaar is Dutch for Owner, so it was a generic user name):


Start 11 Modern style for example does show the correct user name, as in the first screen shot.

W11 style, the reordering of icons does not seem to work/stick. I can order them like so:

But the start menu does not reflect this order. When I go back into the Start 11 settings, I find the following order:

Which is the order the start menu actually keeps showing. I can change the order around again, but does not work as expected.

I noticed when you don't use a custom start menu button (when you align the start menu to the left) there is a blank space on the left side of the start menu that if you click it it opens the win11 start menu... very annoying... doesn't give you this space when you use a custom icon.... I'm on the RTM build of win11 (.194) and it shows on my 1440p display and 1200p display, the icon moves to the right a little when you disable the custom button and the space it creates makes this issue happen. (and even half the time when you use the standard win11 icon when you click directly on the start menu button it still opens the standard windows 11 start menu)

Space on the left side of the button and general non responsive with standard win11 icon:



No space and always opens right with custom icon:

Reduced 82%

Original 376 x 407

 

Please fix this asap... really breaks the start menu and I don't want a custom icon on my taskbar for the start menu...(and I have to use the custom icon for now because of how broken the non custom one is...)

 

Also the universal application list on the win7 style menu opens up once semi cutoff behind (or infront) the start menu at times, and now refuses to open when I click it (the default option for this where it comes out as a list) I noticed this doesn't happen if I hover over universal applications and only happens when its clicked on... Only way to get the list to show up again if I click on it is to close and reopen the start menu and make sure I dont click and just hover...

Working but cutting off (when hovering):

Reduced 88%

Original 351 x 493

Broken after clicked on:



I love the visual changes you guys made to this but you broke some major features along the way....

Clicking on those links wasn't supported before I think, they have always been mouseover only so clicking actually did nothing for you.  Changes were made to handle mouse opening things and it seems there was an unintended consequence.  This will be addressed in a future update.  Thanks for letting us know.

With regards to the start button, it looks like there is a 1-2 pixel gap on the left of the start button which activates the Win11 menu BUT does not animate the start button as it isn't clicking on it.  This is bypassing Start11 as it works on the button.

We can address this in a future update.

Is there a chance you could release a custom icon that matches the original windows 11 design as a workaround for now before you guys release the next update?

Thanks for responding to my feedback. 

While working another PC (windows 11 2200.194, single screen). I have just removed the earlier version of Start11, and found S10 and S8 data folders, when cleaning AppData/Roaming/Stardock and AppData/Local/ Stardock). Program Files (x86)/ Stardock also had data folder/ files. I forgot to note that in the above post. Also, this third PC was a clean install of windows 11.

Electonicmail: Curtains should be removed on Windows11 as it does not support that OS.

Not sure if that will help but worth removing anyway.

Also as a request/feature/question.

where is the settings/config file location for this application if I want to delete the custom settings I changed and set it back to default settings/options? (could this be a button implemented in the app to reset all settings to default?) I tried deleting many files and it seems to have save some settings that I set before.
