Hi.I'm on Windows 11 22H2 + all the patch released until today.
I started to test Start11, so I downloaded and installed Start11 v 1.44. As this is the first time I do this, I could not tell about the behaviour of previous versions.What I noticed was that configuring Start11 with a Win10 -like menu, everything seems OK *EXCEPT* for the impossibility to remove from the Start(11) Menu the "Recently added apps" at the top of the menu.I checked Microsoft Win11 Settings > Customization. Here I correctly switched off this feature.On Start11 configuration options I did not find anywhere the possibility to do the same. Is this a bug, a choice or it was not implemented yet?
Thanks for any info.

I have found it!
Sorry to have been too impatient!

I will refresh the issue with clicking on stacked windows - clicking is not doing anything (by default Windows popups the previews instantly instead of waiting on hover). Additionally clicking disables showing up previews so I have to move mouse back and on it again.

Hi, here are some bugs that I found but were neither introduced nor fixed in this version:

Hello. I have a license for Start10, is it also valid for Start11?
Notification panel still appearing on the left.
Link to my last forum. https://forums.stardock.com/518002/page/1/#3885309
No longer going to post this issue anymore. Have uninstalled and found alternative.
Thank you! 👍
Small issue with enhanced taskbar:
Right-click on Sound icon in Notification Area on main panel, the popup menu shows up on my second monitor, centered, just above the taskbar. Network and Power icon right-click show up on main panel as to be expected.
hmmm, seems you are referring to this, yes?

Since I installed 1.44 an old issue came back. When my pc wakes up from sleep sometimes the taskbar icons are misaligned. This did not happen on 1.43.
I have small taskbar selected. Running latest Windows 11 build 22621.1635
Windows 11, 22H2: 22621.1555
I'm still seeing the bug where certain launched apps don't appear in the taskbar until after it's fully loaded and clicked on a second time. Steam is the most notable example. Here's an example. I can make a video showing the issue with Steam if that helps any.

Does Stardock have a bug tracker? Or should I just keep reporting this every version until fixed?

This has been a problem with every version since Start11 v 1.4.j279 beta, and is still present in this latest one:
On boot, the 'main display' screen shows the notification area on the right with only 3 or 4 icons to the left of the clock (there should be 11), the overflow (^) menu shows a few icons (there should be 15), the Start button is on the left, and there's a totally blank taskbar area in the middle (no pinned icons, no background). This is after all of the other Windows Desktop icons, etc., have been displayed as usual. Hovering over the blank area of the taskbar shows an hourglass, as if it's waiting for more apps/processes to load. Sometimes, waiting another minute or so allows some (but not all) additional icons to appear.
Restarting the Win Explorer process from Task Manager generally results in more notification area icons displaying - and the middle portion of the taskbar usually paints along with the correct pinned icons - but typically still not showing the full set of notification area icons.
Reverting to 1.4.j279 immediately fixes the issue again.
Here is a new one for me. Win11 2H22 and Start11 version 1.44. The downloads link (3rd from top) on the Start Menu shortcut list (below) does not work. See photo. I tried removing it and adding it back again and have the same problem. Not sure why it thinks it is an "app" vs. just a directory link.
Thanks.

Went back and looked a little more closely. Something is wrong with 22.lnk in my Stardock links directory. I created a new shortcut to the downloads directory, named is 22, and copied it over the bad shortcut installed with the recent version and everything worked fine.
OS : Windows 11 Pro 22H2Ver : 1.43 --> 1.44 Taskbar color and transparency are not working on both sides as below.
Please uninstall Start11 and REBOOT (very important).
Then reinstall Start11 as it looks like your version has not been correctly installed.
Same problem.
Windows 11 22H2 OS Build 22621.1555
Changing the Scale to something else in the display options, then switching it back, seems to reset it to the right positioning.
Scale is 100% for me.
Oops, sorry that was unclear. I meant changing it to something new, then changing it back to whatever you were originally at, would reset the icon positions to normal.
same problem as before - Taskbar not updating
Edition Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 OS build 22621.1555

Must reload Explorer to fix.
Are you running any other Windows modification software?

Yes, that is the issue I am experiencing. Tho my main monitor is 4K, and my secondary is 1440p, the Sound menu pops up in the middle of the second screen above the Taskbar, where on yours it's more aligned to the left side.
