Start11 V2: Can it do multiple Rows for the Taskbar?

from Stardock Forums

Before Windows 11 had an update, I was able to drag my Taskbar upward, and it would show multiple rows. So the Taskbar tabs could be "wider" and I would have tabs on 2 or even 3 rows.

This allowed me to "see" everything I had on my desktop much more clearly.

However, this feature seems broken now. Does V2 bring this back or fix it in some way?

(I am aware that I can make the taskbar "larger", but that effect doesn't add any rows, so it is not helpful for me).

Thanks for any replies.

Start11 since v1.2 has been able to create multiple rows of the taskbar.  Note that this does not include tray icons which remain 1 row.

You just need to enable the enhanced taskbar in Start11.

So, it is not working for me (neither is auto-hide)... for some reason even tho I have it turned on.

Edit: Ok so I re-installed it... and now Autohide Taskbar is working again, but not resize.


I have it set to "Allow the Taskbar to be resized" But, still no luck with dragging it to add rows.

The auto hide is why.  Disable that and you can have multiple rows.  With autohide enabled Start11 has to disable lots of things such as multiple row support on newer OSes.

Well, perhaps this can be fixed in some future release... I really like to use both at the same time.

Thanks for the very fast replies!!
