Thank you for your interest and any time you put into making Start11 a better product.
It seems with every update the same bugs apprear! Again If I chose any look other than windows 7, the start menu appears on the top left hand of the screen.
Now also, non of my pinned icons apear in the start menu, dispite choosing pin to start 11!
Are you using ObjectDock too?
Which look are you using where your pinned items do not appear?
Will there be a new beta coming up soon? (:
Thanks!
This is a very minor issue but I'll report it anyway. I'm using Windows 10 style with "recent files" in the shortcut list (or whatever it's called in the English version). Right-clicking the icon and selecting properties shows a username that doesn't belong to me in the path.
wish there would be an option for acrylic/mica old context menu in next update
Trying to install Start 11 and getting an error during install, first error was seen when doing an update, then I uninstalled/reinstalled everything (Start 11 as well as Object Desktop) and getting same error...
Is it just me again or is the "Restart and Update" function not working? Last few times I had to restart and update via the Updates settings page...
Also, when adding a shortcut with custom icon to the Startmenu the icon is not displayed. May sound like a minor bug but looks kind of ugly...
if you dont set a name for a page (aka pinned) then any names you have set for your folders wont show up.
It is possible you have your desktop wallpaper set to change every so often?I ask as it is a known bug in Windows 11 (and 10) that when it changes the wallpaper it causes explorer to hang for periods (unrelated to S11)
Nope, static background, thanks for the suggestion though!
Hi Yes I am, and whatever look I decide to use. However I can only use windows 7 look as over wise the menu is back in the top left corner.
Reinstalling makes no difference.
Starting to make me wish I was using a dodgy copy now and asking for a refund! I am also unable to use the enhanced task bar, as it hangs windows after a while and will need to reboot to get the taskbar to respond!
You would need to remove ObjectDock. It is not supported on Windows 10/11 and is the trigger for the menu showing at the top of the screen. It can also in some versions of Start11 cause the taskbar to lockup.
Has anyone experienced the taskbar being totally unresponsive during explorer file transfers?
I believe there is a bug within Start11 app when you also use Auto Hide Taskbar settings
The taskbar does AutoHide, but when you Maximize the window your in, it doesn’t go all the way to the bottom of the screen. The window behaves as if the taskbar is still there even though it's hidden.
You can see in my screenshot the Google webpage won’t go to the bottom where the taskbar normally is even though I maximized the browser. I even tried to drag the browser window manually, but it just snaps right back to how it looks in the screenshot.
Curious if there is a fix for this
Please please please can you fix this? Or give an update/reply I've posted a couple of times. The Start11 taskbar has become unusable, and I have now removed Start11. That bug makes the taskbar worse than Microsoft's bastardisation of the Win10 version and that's saying someting! I so much prefer Start11 and have been using equivilant since it first came out way back when- but this bug makes it unusable. I am in a meeting and want to show an Excel file, click on Excel, and What's App opens.
Please?!
Using Windows 11 Insider Preview 22621.1 (ni_release). Happens on my Desktop and my SurfacePro 8
As stated, we cant provide support for Insider builds of Windows.
That said, to exclude that it is an app \ setting conflict, have you tried doing a clean boot?

I'll have to be a "me too" on the issue of taskbar showing the wrong apps when you hover over the button (current version and at least the previous one).
I have Start11 installed on three machines.
It occurs on a machine with one monitor (most of the time, occasionally switch to expand to include TV)
On my machine with three monitors (work) the taskbar will become 90% unresponsive eventually.
In both case I can go to taskbar>right click>configure start11>taskbar > Restart Explorer to reset it to working (for a while).
Third machine is a laptop that I don't use often enough to tell if there's an issue.
I ended up simply turning off Taskbar enhancements in Start11. I really got it for the actual Start Menu anyway (which works fine (no idea what MS was thinking with the Win11 menu)). Though I do like the "sometimes combined" settings when it works.
why does the alternative icon (start) no longer work when the taskbar is in the middle?
before I could position the taskbar in the middle and choose a different start icon, now
As the message in-app states, that is only supported when the Start button is on the left. If you turn it off, you will be able to edit it. See:

Bug: Start Menu does not update upon installing an app. It only updates if I go to "Start Menu" -> "Configuration" -> "Advanced Configuration" and disable/re-enable "show recently added apps".
Any updates on this?
Is there a plan to make it possible to position the Windows symbol in the middle even when using Start11 to enhance the taskbar? If not, I'd like to make a feature request here... Thank you very much!
How exactly is it 'not working' - when you click it, nothing happens?
