Touch issue Seems to have been fixed with 2.05, I misplaced my pen and are currently unable to test pen input at the moment. Thank you for fixing this
Blank chrome/edge apps still a issue since v1
Happy to report that the first icon after the Start Button no longer gets corruption when centering the Taskbar (experimental).Moving the first icon does indeed causes an issue but only while the icon is moving though...
with 2.05 beta this one seems to be resolved.
Hallo,Are you using an auto hide taskbar?No. Also are you using enhanced taskbar mode in S11?Whre can I find this settings? Thx.
With the new beta, still the same issue.
I could imagine, that it depends on the game "darktide" or maybe steam. With fortnite but also with cs:go, no issue like that.
Thanks so far.
Thanks for this, glad we were able to reproduce and resolve this.
I wrote in another post that the latest beta corrected the bug of not being able to pin icons at the primary and the secondary taskbars at the same time. Unfortunately, I just realised that the jumplists do not work at the secondary taskbar. Moreover, when I click i.e. at the Excel icon, the Excel app opens on the primary monitor. Thus, the functionality is really limited, since I have to move the mouse cursor to the primary monitor again and move the app to the secondary monitor and then choose from the app the recent file I need to open.
A less irritating issue that I had already documented somewhere is that the right click on the start button at a secondary taskbar opens the win+x menu at the primary taskbar.
EDIT: A temporary solution to the above jumplist problem. Now that pinning on secondary taskbars works nicely, I pinned the files I need often to the secondary taskbars and I manage to overcome the jumplist missing issue. I also use displayfusion and it has an option to open a file on the monitor where the cursor is located, so basically I manage to improve productivity with these measures.

Intermittently, the taskbar won't unhide when I move the mouse to the bottom of the screen. Tried to find a reproducable pattern, unable to. I have turned off windows taskbar auto-hide and am using Start 11's autohide.
Hello,Sorry to hear you are having issues. Do you have GeForce Experience installed? If you do please refer here: https://forums.stardock.com/524069/get;3917464
Thank you.Basj,Stardock Community Assistant.
Unfortunately the position of windows is something thats often not controllable by the caller.
We have made a change for the next update which will include a suggested monitor when launching, but this is only used if the app opens the window based on the OS suggested locations and does not save locations itself. The only other way is to force move the window, but this is rather out of scope for Start11.
Many apps remember the last location so will ignore the above.

I have just realised that what we pin to the secondary taskbar comes back to the primary if we disconnect the secondary monitors. Is it possible to avoid this? Automatic or all displays is OK but secondary should be only on the secondary? Because then the primary taskbar becomes too full.
That fixed it.
The Start11 v2.05 beta has been updated. For changes, please see:
"Added an option to pin a web URL to Start11 directly"
Ahha I have been waiting for this.
Thanks guys.
This issue appears to be fixed in 2.0.5.1. Thank you.
Thank you guys, you are amazing. This was fixed.
I am using "Sart11 v2.05". There is a bug that the tab line moves when clicking on certain tabs.
In the capture, clicking on the "Filer" tab moves the line containing the "Filer" tab one row down.
Clicking on the "Disk&Backup" tab of a row that has been moved to the bottom row moves that row up.
The behavior varies depending on the tab you click.
Please see the video uploaded below.

Hello,Sorry to hear you are having issues. That is indeed strange, may I know you on Windows 10 or 11? Also need to know your its full version numbers. Use Winver.exe
ThanksBasj,Stardock Community Assistant.
Win11 Pro 22H2 23619.1000
This is the above version of Insider Preview since I updated after posting, but it is the same behavior since the beginning of 22H2.
This behavior has occurred since the beginning of V2.
Would it be possible for you to backup your Start11 settings and upload them and send me a link to them via private message?
Please note it would contain information about your shortcuts etc though not the files themselves.
Doing this would let us reproduce the issue here.
Suggestions/bugs:
*make the search content more robust and organized, even if you use the everything search, the results are cluttered unlike the startallback, it can search what you want to find (this is only using the windows search index), its more organized and have the capability to click let us say only the "documents" you want to search (it has filter) and will open the file explorer for more results, with regards to everything search its all over the place unless you are using the everything search tool(the program itself) where you can filter it according to docs, pictures etc.
+been doing the win10 styles search and new one style search still its missing a lot of search capability specially if your searching for FILE CONTENTS inside certain documents or pdf etc... it can't be at par with startallback fast searching using the default windows search indexing only.
=the search results also is limited to the size of the startmenu, that is why some details(output search results) are missing
=sometimes when you are searching file contents there is a chance that startmenu would stop working and refreshes the windows explorer. and you will repeat the process again( i dont know it its memory leak)
*the starmenu is buggy when you use the automatic accent color, my background wallpaper (desktop) is set to change every 10 minutes so the color schemes should also change when the background changes, however, the startmenu becomes opaque or translucent, the only way to return to the starmenu desired layout(all those wallpapers in each tabs and its colors) is to clicking the starmenu again or on keyboard, it refreshes and adapts to the color schemes again.
*sometimes, when you try to click the startmenu there is a chance that the default win11 startmenu pops out even if you select the all option to always popout start11 menu
*ill still add more if i find something buggy or suggestions to keep your product better, anyway im supporting this good software coz i ilke i!!!
my windows 11 version is 23h2 build 22631.3007
thank you Po! God bless.

I just updated Start 11 v2 to the 2.05.1 beta. I use the Widows 11 style.Now my taskbar start button cannot be center aligned. It, along with the pinned taskbar icons, is now left aligned. Changing settings back and forth does not help. Rebooting does not help. This was working fine in version 2.05.
Hello,Sorry to hear you are having issues. Just to confirm, do you also have Windowblinds running?
Hello,Sorry to hear you are having issues. Just to confirm, do you also have Windowblinds running?ThanksBasj,Stardock Community Assistant.
No, not Windowblinds, but, I do have Curtains and Fences 5 running. I reinstalled version 2.0.5 over top of the 2.0.5.1 beta, and this fixed things. I kind of remember something like this happening before with Start 11 version 1. But, I don't recall the solution. I am just now thinking that the fix required an update to Curtains.......
