Another problem with Start 11 - similar to ashmedsolve below.

from Stardock Forums

Recently Windows 11 updated - but Start 11 did as well, so I am not sure where the fault lies.

I have 2 4K screens.  I have seen the phenomenon that the center part of the task bar is missing - sometimes I see it at boot and then it fixes itself.  Once it wouldn't after booting and Start 11 didn't work at all, got a white screen when I hit the windows key on the keyboard to bring up the Start 11 start screen.  Had to reboot the computer again.

Also, even when the task bar is working, as I have it set to show the Windows start menu when I mouse click on the Windows start button, the window shows up but everything on it is disabled - power control, settings, etc.

I am on version 1.41 and it says it is up to date.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try this. Uninstall Start11, reboot immediately after. Download and install the latest V1.42 Beta: https://forums.stardock.com/517565. Reboot again, after the install. Retest it and report back.

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for the response.  I have an extensively customized start screen that I worked on for a long time.  Will uninstalling/reinstalling Start11 affect that in any way?  Any way to backup this data?
