Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try purge and reinstall steps as mentioned here: [link]. Just make sure to redownload the latest version from your account. Reboot after the purged. Reinstall, and Reboot again after the installation. Retest it. Report back here.

Thanks

I don't think the purge went as intended. A lot of error messages flashed up and it ended up as an uninstall, so I will have to repopulate my menu.

However, fuull screen works and this is important for me, so a worthwhile exercise.

Those error messages are normal since the purge also work for installation on Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/10. Anyway, glad it work out.

Thank you,

The menu icons disappear when All Aps is sekected, is this by design to give more roomfor the icons when All Aps is not selected?

I have found another problem, maybe my not understanding, but when I try to select my own background Start11 goes to my Pictures folder and shows several of my subfolders but does not recocnise any of the files, even when I enter the file name. As a workaround can I copy the file I used before into the folder where Start11 stores its image options?

Yes, I think that is by design.
