Windows Key opening Windows 11 start menu instead of Start 11 menu

As you can see, I've set it to open the start 11 menu in settings. This just started happening yesterday.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know what is your Windows version numbers. Use Winver.exe to get it. And your Start11 version numbers.

Thanks

It is very important you inform us if you are using insider builds which I am going to assume you are?

If you go to 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8

using Regedit and then add a new string value called AllowWinKeyFix and give it a value of 1 and then sign out and in again does the problem go away?

I have insider build 22624.1470 ni_release. The fix with Regedit didn't work. Running Start 11 1.41.

Thats strange as I did that here and it worked perfectly.

I am afraid if it didn't work for you then you will have to wait for the next Start11 update where we will default that on for that version of Windows and hopefully that will work for you.

That said our standard position naturally is we do not officially support insider releases of Windows.

Never mind. I got it now. I put AllowWinKeyFix in the wrong place.

Glad it is working for you.

We will make sure thats enabled on that build in the future.
