Detailed steps to recreate the issue seen
Screenshots and videos are very helpful. Videos can be uploaded to a cloud drive service (GoogleDrive, DropBox, OneDrive, YouTube), with a shared link included in your post. Images can be copied and pasted directly into a post.
If there are specific apps that the app does not work (well) with, please note what apps and their exact versions. If any app is not common, a link to a trial version would be appreciated.
Thank you for your interest and any time you put into making Start11 v2 a better product.
Update Jan. 2
The network system tray icon keeps turning itself upside down and back up again.....
I was unfortunately able to reproduce the empty task bar again by not logging in immediately after a reboot, but leaving the login/lock screen as is. When I did log in after a while, I got the empty task bar again. It was on the correct right side of the screen, but no task bar- or system tray icons.
And just like last time, right-click or ctrl-alt-del triggered no response/no action.The Start 11 start button and menu did function -like last time- so I could reboot and log in, and all was well again.
The strange thing is that this does not happen when I sign out, and log back in later. Seems to only happen after a reboot.
All,
We have updated the Start11 v2 beta to 2.49.3 in a new thread.
