Do you use Stardock Curtains?
Also how many monitors do you have?
Still seems to be some disconnect between Start11 and Win11 on recently installed apps.
Tried several different things to clear them from the Start11 menu but they still show New on two of them. Oddly Start11 is no longer showing New after much flipping back and forth between Start11 and Win11 and running the apps from the All Apps menus.
Nothing I have tried has cleared the "New" from the Intel and Thunderbird below in the All Apps menu in Start11. The New does not appear in the Win11 Start menu.Start11

Start 11 1.0
Getting this error pop up on several Start11 pinned apps (using Win11 style menu) when I right click, select More, and select Run as Administrator. If I left click on the Start11 pinned app it runs fine. This is happening on several pinned apps. I have tried unpinning the apps and then re-pinning them and restarting the PC. The issue does not occur in the Win11 start menu.
Start11 1.0
From my entry on "wish list" (just installed Start11, it says it is version 1.0)
I'm running Win 10.
Start11 in Win 7 mode only uses 1/2 vertical screen (Start 10 had an option to increase this to full vertical) please add this option to Start 11
Right click on Start11 icon opens window which needs "Start11 config" in it. Current version, 1.0, doesn't have Start11 in this window. Needs to be added.
Bug(??) I selected the "start11" icon for the start icon but still have the Micro$oft version.
The drop-down menu would need a scroll bar.

Re: 1/2 screen --- I found under win 7 menu's settings (which wasn't obvious it contained a LOT more customization) and this was what I needed:
Tho it leaves a rather large blank area below it:
But 11, like Start 10, doesn't cascade secondary folders.
Do you use Stardock Curtains?Also how many monitors do you have?
I have 1 49" 5120x1440 monitor and 2 24" 1080p monitors.
I have the task bar turned off on the two 24" monitors, only on the 49" monitor.
I am running Curtains, CursorFX, and Tiles.
A fix: send me your 49" monitor.
The keystroke combination Windows Key-Shift-S has no effect. It should launch the Snipping Tool. I'm running Start11 Version 1.0 on Windows 11 Pro Version 21H2 Build 22000.282.Note this keystroke combination does launch the Snipping Tool with Start11 Version 1.0 on Windows 10 Pro Version 21H1 Build 19043.1288.
The problem was with Windows 11, not Start11. The problem is resolved with update KB5008295.

***************************************
Issue # 1:
Scroll button on mouse does not work for the "All Apps" list in the Windows 11-style menu. Cannot scroll up/down.
Issue # 2:
Modern-style menu does not highlight at all when I move the mouse cursor over program entries in both app lists.
Issue # 3:
Not sure if this is a "bug" or anything, but for the non-Windows 11 style menus, there is a small space on the bottom.
(It creates a disconnect between the menu and the taskbar - very small, narrow space; still noticeable. Needs fixing.)
Issue # 4:
Animations could be smoother. Example: The Windows 11-style menu could be a bit smoother ... just saying.
Hope to see these issues resolved ASAP. Thanks!
P.S.: And no, I am not running any other Stardock software - just Start 11. Nothing more.
I haven't had the chance to update yet. I see lots of fixes. I have to ask is there anything, "NEW"?
1. Document shortcuts open libraries instead of just the default documents folder. Libraries are becoming obsolete, so I think it is a good idea to dismiss them.
2. The Windows Terminal shortcut does not work.
3. Apps and programs have been (optionally) merged to the same folder, which is something I had requested in the past and is now a feature! Thanks for that
Unfortunatelly is not working. (Start 11 1.0) In the 0.95 version worked.

On Surface Pro 8 with Win11 Home, press and hold (finger or pen) or hold side button and tap (pen) doesn't open the context menu on either the Start button or taskbar. To get these menus when my keyboard is not attached, I have to bring up the virtual trackpad, put the cursor over the start button or taskbar, then right-tap the trackpad.
Hi is it possible to fix this thing?
the keys Shut Down System, Restart System, Suspend System
they are not in the correct order and can they be changed?
also I see that there are no icons like in the official windows 11 menu why? can't add icons to keys?
on Start11 it is like this:

While in the official start of Windows 11 they are positioned like this and with icons

Is it possible to position the keys and insert icons?
Grazie ^^
Uninstall Start11, reboot (important) and then install 1.0 again.
I expect something went wrong during the install.
The order in use is the order used for the Win7 style menu where it would be correct, but you raise a good point about the order on the other menu styles being different so we will see what we can do about those.
Likewise icons are something it would be nice to add.
Hi,
(Windows 11) When the start button is not aligned to the centre, and the option for offsetting the menu from the taskbar is enabled, it seems that the menu should also be offset from the left hand edge of the screen, as is the case using the built-in Windows 11 menu. With the menu stuck to the left side of the screen with no offset looks like a bug when it is offset from the bottom.
Just a small detail which I feel could be improved
I'm using the windows 10 style, on Windows 11 latest stable version.Here's what I would like improved : - Having the ability the set the background color of icons to something more transparent. Either 100% transparent, or the option to change opacity would be nice.
- The app scrolling when using mouse wheel is not smooth. It's alright when clicking and dragging the scroll bar, but using the wheel is not smooth and it's annoying. It's not easy to capture in a video.
Feature request: It would be very helpful within the Windows 10 style menu to add a new group to the side of the menu as well as the bottom. Currently, you can drag a pinned item to the bottom of the menu (thank you for implementing scrolling while dragging btw!) and then drag the groups around to different columns, but you can't add a new group in a column to the right. It always has to be created in the first column only.
I've also been having trouble creating new groups at the bottom. I'll be dragging an item down and it's very fiddly and difficult for Start11 to understand that I'm trying to create a new group rather than move the item to the bottom of the current group.
Edit: sorry, clarifying that I realize you can right click and select making a new group from a popup menu. I was only talking about contextual drag-and-drop.
Start11 is set to Modern GUI. Sometimes it's at the bottom, sometimes it's at the top, as shown in attached jpeg.
.
Taskbar icons are always at the bottom. Why? How can I set it to always show at the bottom?
In the Start11 Win11 style menu if you create more than 2 pages and use the mouse horizontal scroll it jumps 2 pages instead of 1.
Example: Have 4 pages, start on page 1, click the horizonal scroll wheel to move one page over, it jumps over 2 pages. So goes from page 1 to page 3 instead of page 2.
I played around with the Accelerated Vertical Scrolling and Horizontal Scrolling setting in the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center but none of them changed the effect.
This is a great feature to quickly flip through pages but currently looks like I cannot have more than 2 pages if I want to use it.
Please fix.
Any chance that you could implement a feature whereby a group on one page can be moved to another?This would be a really handy thing for those of us who realise too late that they have too many groups on one page.Or have you already provided this functionality without my having found it?
In testing with Windows Subsystem for Android, installed Android applications do not show up on the Start11 menu without logging out and back in, or restarting, where they do show up on the native Windows 11 start menu immediately:
Versus:
Uninstall Start11, reboot (important) and then install 1.0 again.I expect something went wrong during the install.
This has been done. Several times.
Nothing has changed - for the better.
I am waiting for version 1.1.
Maybe it will work there.
But I waiting for the live tiles much more.
