Start11 not working

Initial installation successful, but software has now stopped working.    Nothing can be changed on Windows 11 - Start Menu or Taskbar.    I've tried uninstalling, reboot and re-install.   The Service "Stardock Start11" is running, but the software still doesn't change anything.

I'm on 64-bit Windows 11 Pro, Build 22000.

Hello,

I uninstalled, purged, rebooted and reinstalled, but still doesn't work.     I repeated using a clean boot (disabled Services) and it didn't work.  Have also tried from a new Admin account and it still didn't work.

Hello,

Yes, it does work fully in the Windows Sandbox.

I've tried installing the app normally (outside Sandbox) again. It still doesn't work. This is the error report, from Windows Reliability Monitor:

There is something in your system that is blocking Start11 from working properly. I have forwarded your problem/question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience.

Hello,

I've had another try.  I manually removed keys for Stardock that had been left in the Registry, rebooted and installed the newest version, 1.3.    It is now working on Windows 11 (22H2).
