Upgrade to 1.2 shows no Start11 menu

Windows version 21H2 (OL Build 22000.593)

The Windows key nor the Start button show anything when clicked. Nothing happens. It was working flawlessly until I upgraded today.

Have you enabled the option to enhance the taskbar?

If so if you disable it and restart explorer does the problem go away?

Forgot to mention: I did reboot.
1. Depressing the Windows key does not work either
2. Not using a custom start button image
3. I have not set the start button centered or left-aligned
4. Mouse
5. 2 monitors, the taskbar is only used on the main monitor

Can you be more specific about where I enable enhance taskbar?

You can disable that from the taskbar page itself at the top.

What AV Package are you using?

I don't know what you mean by an AV Package

Antivirus.  So something like bitdefender, norton etc.

This screenshot is curious.  There is supposed to be a slider to the right hand side of those on/off labels.  Have you ever had a slider there in previous versions?

You mentioned earlier that I should have sliders next to the features I am enabling/disabling. And yes they were present before and now they are not. 

I was finally able to get Start11 to work by turning "Let Start11 enhance the taskbar" 

I had to click to the right of "On" where the slider would normally be. I kept trying by clicking on the word "On"

Now that it is "Off", it is working as expected and it still looks the same as where it was before the update.

Any ideas??

Have we asked how many monitors you have, if you have > 1 do you run DisplayFusion or is your computer set to only show the taskbar on the main monitor?

Also a screenshot of the taskbar might be useful as it could be something pinned thats exposing some issue.

Two monitors, don't run DisplayFusion. Taskbar on the main monitor only

If you set the taskbar to show on all monitors does your issue go away?

Start11 v1.2 with enhanced taskbar enabled is defective.  Enabled removes all the taskbar icons but lets me resize the taskbar.  Disable the enhanced feature and the taskbar icons reappear but no resize functionality.  Except for the menu itself v1.2 offers no relief for the taskbar over Windows 11 control.  DisplayFusion Pro does not interfere with Start11.

I went into Windows Setting and enable taskbar on both monitor.

Then I went into Start11 and set "Let Start11 enhance the taskbar" to On

The problem came back.
Set it back to Off in Start11 and the problem went away

Another detail that might help.

The start button reacts with an animation to a mouse click so i doubt that the issue has anything to do with a misplaced or hidden start icon, which in turn would not allow me to click on it
