I have a very reproducible set of bugs with start11

Start Windows, start11 working fine, then play a fullscreen game like battlefield or something (dunno if Origin related so i mention it)
Close the game
The menu will be in this alternating state where it switches between the start11 menu and the default windows menu

Here's the video showing it:


Using the Windows key works fine as shown in the video aswell, but taskbar flashes a bit and disappears for a bit.
Only way to fix is to restart the whole computer.


The other bug is also very annoying, basically if you open the menu while ur mouse is moving or move it RIGHT after clicking, your mouse will jump around the screen the menu will close and u might accidentally click something or open something.



In this whole video i never click the mouse after I click the start menu button, it's all just closing by itself from the mouse being in movement.


Thanks in advance,
Philip

Hmmm, lost my response.  What I do is create the URL shortcut on the desktop.  Then I manually create a named folder in the start menu at C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs.  I manually move the URL shortcut into that folder.  This results in that named folder to appear in the normal default start menu of Windows 10 or 11.  I open that folder and right click on the URL short and select Pin to Start.  With Start11 as the default, the folder does not show up (even after a reboot).

Issue I noticed with Windows 10 style Start menu in Start11.

• In Windows 10 Start menu, if you search for a program and pin it to the Start menu, the icon used for the file will be the program shortcut's icon (which might be different from the program's icon).
• Start11 always shows the program's icon, even if the shortcut had a different icon.  (The shortcut's icon does show up properly in search, just not when it is pinned.)

You can test this by just going to "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs", changing the icon on one of the shortcuts there, and then trying to pin it in Start11.

Noticed another one regarding the order of "shortcuts" on the left side of the Windows 10 style start menu.

• I removed a bunch of items from the default list.
• I added "Windows Explorer" to the list.
• I moved Windows Explorer to the top of the order.

Windows Explorer always shows up at the bottom.  The other options in the list do change position when rearranged.  Are custom-added options locked to the bottom?

I think that may be the issue.  I suspect the keystrokes are being detected as search input.

Thanks for reporting, I will make sure that gets fixed for the next update.

Sometimes when clicking on the Start Menu button, the vanilla Start Menu still appears with the Start11 start menu popping up behind it.

Bonjour,

j utilise depuis peu start11 version 0.90 dans windows 11 build 22000.194 .

Des raccourcis disparaissent dans les dossiers contenant plusieurs raccourcis programme en mode affichage windows 10 et windows 11,  alors qu ils sont bien visibles dans les modes windows 7 style et modern style.

‎Hello‎

‎i recently used start11 version 0.90 in windows 11 build 22000.194 .‎

‎Shortcuts disappear in folders containing several program shortcuts in windows 10 and windows 11 display mode, while they are clearly visible in windows 7 style and modern style modes.‎

I upgraded to Start11 v0.90 and have a similar issue to siliconman01, above. Suddenly, many indexed files are unable to be immediately searched from its Start Menu.

For example: there are AutoHotkey scripts in its program folder that I'd type into the start menu and the scripts would immediately appear. However, this is no longer the case, so maybe an update affected its functionality.

I'm rebuilding the entire index, confirming that I don't have any excluded directories that I'd need. While going into Indexing Options, I noticed that Start10Ctrlpnl folder is indexed. Its specific location is:

C:\Windows\ImmersiveControlPanel\Settings\Start10Ctrlpnl

Does that also need to indexed with Start11 or just Start10. Since I assume that the Start10 assigned that folder to indexing, what is the reason for its indexing?

Thanks for your help

Edit: even after pinning a file to Start11's menu, it's still unable to be searched through Start11

When using the taskbar "align top" feature, the titlebar of your own apps are inaccessible... 
I'm sure this will also be deemed "an issue with Windows itself".

This feature is the only reason I would have paid you for this app, and it does not work well because it's just using the free registry hack to accomplish the positioning instead of any actual program functionality to displace the title bar location spawn point based on the number of pixels displaced by the taskbar. 

You can't blame "windows itself" because Microsoft didn't add/sell this feature, you did... 

Shortcuts on the windows 10 menu version that have their advance properties to run in admin mode (So I don't have to select Run as Admin from its drop menu on the start menu) Are not running as Administrator, seem they get reset via the start 11 app even though their actual shortcut has been set to run as admin for all users etc.

No you would need to use the Use old Start10 style search option lower down on the page.

Things in program files like that would be searched via the search for all files vs apps and there is an issue with the new search getting stuck before it gets to those files which we are looking into.

That isn't a normal location for us to search however and I am unaware of us ever searching that location.

I have the "alternating menu" bug as well (the one posted by nighteyes); I noticed it only happens when sitting on the desktop with nothing open; if an application is open, Start11 comes up consistently and the bug doesn't occur. Here's a video:

Additional things I noticed:

-The Start11 menu doesn't seem to animate smoothly sometimes on a 144hz monitor; Sometimes it will be as smooth as the default start menu, other times it seems to run at a reduced framerate

-The app list doesn't not smooth scroll like the Windows 10 start menu

And a small feature/improvement request:

-The app tile grid in Windows 10 style mode is 3 blocks wide and there's no option for 4 blocks like in Windows 10 ("Show additional tiles in the Start Menu" in the W10 settings) (example below)
