Hello,

I installed my Start10 1.61 just yesterday on my Win10 1809. And installed and running just fine. No compatible issue at all. Could you try purge and reinstall start10 : https://forums.stardock.com/486022/start10-support-faq#reinstalling.

Download again the Start10 1.61 . Make sure to reboot after the purge before you reinstall.

Thank you,

Nicely done.  However, When I try to add the "Games/Menu" to the right side of Start10, a "Desktop" item is placed there.  This, when clicked on, does not show "properties" as the other entries do.  I've installed the original Windows 7 games, and they're functional from the "Programs" drop down list on the left side.  How do I get the "Menu" feature for "Games" to correctly display on the right side of Start10?

Hello,

You can easily add a link to your Start10 right panel. Here a short video for it.

Thanks, Basj.  That did the trick.  I made short cuts in a directory named "Games" in my user folder and then did the "advanced" routine as shown in the linked video.  I now have a drop down menu on the right side of the Start10 menu and it functions just like the one in Start8 on my Windows 8.1 machine, which emulates Windows 7.  I'm stuck on the Windows 7 look after all these years.
