Windows 11 stops loading startup apps upon login

This probably has nothing to do with Start11 but I have run out of ideas

from Stardock Forums

I load about a dozen startup apps. If I login as soon as the login screen appears, only about half of the startup apps get loaded. If I wait 20-30 seconds - until the HD light quits flashing fast - then all apps are loaded. I can't find any reference to this issue anywhere including Reddit. Could Start11 be involved somehow?

Using Start11 v1.47

Edition    Windows 11 Pro
Version    22H2
Installed on    ‎6/‎21/‎2023
OS build    22621.2134
Experience    Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22659.1000.0


Thank you,

Richard

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, I don't think that Start11 is the reason for your issue. To verify, you can simply uninstall Start11 and see if the issue still there.

Thanks

I don't want to lose all of the settings I have made in Start11. Is there an easy way to temporarily disable Start11 or at least preserve the settings. Thanks.

Just be sure to have this unchecked when uninstalling, and you won't lose your settings.
