Issue: Win11 Touch gesture pulling up default Start not Start11

from Stardock Forums

Just got my hands on a touch device that uses Windows 11.   Of course installed Start11 on it ASAP!   What I noted, however, is that Windows 11 has a "drag-finger-upward" from the bottom of the screen to pull up the taskbar with the Start Menu automatically opened.  This gesture is universal; it works whether or not the taskbar is hidden.  However, the DEFAULT start menu is what comes up, not the Start11 one.

It would be great if Start11 would override this gesture so it doesn't open the default start menu & instead pulls up Start11 that is, quite honestly, a better start menu than what MS decided to force on us.  Thanks for the amazing app, guys!!!

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know you on Windows 11 version? Full version number please. Use Winver.exe. And Start11 version installed?

Thanks

Using a gesture bypasses Start11 I am sorry to say.  Probably because it gradually opens the menu depending on finger position rather than instantly opening it.

Hey, I have the same problem with "Start11: Windows-10-Style". I installed the BETA version over the current version, but this doesn't fix the problem. Should this already fixed in the current BETA (1.47.3)?

My Windows 11 version: 22H2 (Build 22621.2134)

The problem that the standard windows 11 start menue open is only triggered if you open it with "drag-finger-upward". Everything else works like expected. However, this is quite annoying when working in tablet mode (Microsoft Surface pro 7 plus).

 

Thanks,
