I am using Windows 11 preview 22616.1.  I am using the Start 11 version I downloaded today, 5-5-2022. After I installed Start 11 I tried to configure it to give me the Windows 7 start menu.  After I made my choices I had NO start menu.  I click the start button and nothing pops up.  There is no Windows 7 start menu.  I had to install open shell in order to get a Windows 7 start menu.  I was using Start 10 and it worked but I had to uninstall it because Windows would not update with it installed.  If I uninstall open shell I can get Start 11 to work but not with the Windows 7 start menu which is what I want.  Can you help?

I am sorry, but Stardock not officially support Windows Insider Preview build. However, I have forward your report/problem to Stardock Support Team for their review. We appreciate your feedback.

Thank you,

Uninstall start11, reboot, reinstall start11 as it sounds like an installation issue.

I would recommend you do not use Windows Insider builds.  They are not a supported operating system even by Microsoft.

Thank you.  I have been a beta tester for years and I have now officially opted out.  I am waiting for the update to the public stable version of Windows 11.  I should realized that the problem was being caused by the insider version I had installed because it is certainly not the first issue I have encountered.  Once I have the proper Windows 11 installed I will try Start11 again.
