Once the enhanced taskbar in V1.2 is enabled, the taskbar is completely empty. Only the start button remains together with the tray.
All the icons of the sticky programs and all the open programs are gone.
Once the enhanced taskbar is disabled, the icons are back.

Hello,Sorry to hear you are having issues. But you're on Windows 10 or 11? and your full version numbers please. Use Winver.exe to get those numbers.
ThanksBasj,Stardock Community Assistant.
I'm seeing this same issue. This is my first install of Start11. (though I installed Fences yesterday)

I have the exact same problem. Also, opening new apps does not place an icon on the taskbar. I am using Windows 11 and the Windows 10 Start Menu emulation with the taskbar on only one of my monitors. All pinned and through having been opened app icons are missing from the Enhanced Taskbar.
How many monitors do you have?
Same exact problem here. Winver 21H2.
I also have this problem. Windows 11 21H2As soon as I startup my laptop and enhanced is enabled, all pin icons disappear. Laptop is attached to a docking station.
If I disconnect laptop from the docking station, the pin icons shows up on the taskbar and enhancement is working. If I reattach laptop to the docking station, the pin icons are still displayed, so enhancement is working, untill I reboot my laptop.
Is the taskbar set to show on all monitors or just one?
Just one, my main monitor. I have 2 monitors.
That's interesting as that seems to be coming up a few times.
If you set it to show on both does the problem occur again?
I think we have reproduced this on a test setup.
For those with the issue do you have the following setup?
> 1 monitor
Main monitor to the right of a secondary
Taskbar set to only appear on the main display.
When setting the taskbar on both monitors, after a reboot enhance seems to work fine on my end. After changing the setting back to main monitor, the disconnect laptop from docking station didn't work anymore after a reboot.
Only solution was to show taskbar on both monitors. Enhanced then would show up fine. When changing it back to main monitor, enhance would display correctly.

I am pleased to say that not only have we reproduced it, but we have it fixed internally now.
That's great news - and quick too
Before I read that you had resolved it, I did a bunch of tests this morning. I thought I'd share them in case it changes the implementation of your fix:
My system (the one with 4 monitors described above) is a laptop attached to an HP dock via Thunderbolt (providing 3 monitors) plus an HDMI port connected to the 4th.
Hope that concurs with the fix you've made. Being a new customer, I'm not familiar with your process. How long do you generally take to release a fix like this?

About 6 months
Just kidding. There is a possibility of a beta update later today, otherwise expect a beta update early next week.
Hi. Windows 11 22H2 preview here. One monitor only. v1.2 When I turn on enhanced taskbar all the apps are there and I can scroll to see all of them in second level which I like but no tray icons can be seen. They are there because when I hover over them I get pop ups for them. I have turned off all transparencies etc for taskbar. Reboot no help. If I turn enhanced off again the tray icons are there. Thanks.
If you use the insider preview you should ensure you are using 1.21 as it resolves some problems on that version.
The next update has further improvements.

That is exciting news. I look forward to seeing the new build.

The bug you are experiencing is related to having auto hide taskbar enabled. If you disable auto hide the tray icons should be visible.
It also sounds like a solution to that is perhaps around the corner once 1.22 is released
Thanks that worked.
But hidden items in tray do not show. The arrow pop up is there and a window pops up when clicking but the apps are not there. Thanks.
Hi again. If you expand the taskbar from one to two levels then the hidden apps in tray do show.
