Start11 v2 Updating Delay For Newly Installed Programs

Start11 v2 Taking A Long Time To Register Newly-Installed Programs

from Stardock Forums

Good evening!

I have noticed that my Start11 v2 has a lag when new programs are installed?

To elaborate, when I install a new program (be it a game or not), the original Windows 11 Start Menu program list contains and shows the new program immediately, however the Start11 Start Menu program list does not tend to show new programs until a good twenty minutes to half an hour after the installation completes. 

It's a really weird occurrence and only a minor bug, I accept, but has anyone else come across this or have any idea on what I could be doing wrong? I have the settings for 'showing newly installed programs' set to 'yes' for both Start11 and for the Windows Start Menu.

I'm running Start11 v2.03 and Windows 11 23H2 22631.2861.

Any and all advice appreciated!

Thanks very much.

A restart of Explorer.exe always resolves the issue, but that isn't really a suitable answer for a Start11 problem, every time I install a new program. I haven't seen a solution to this from Start11 and currently use a workaround whilst evaluating other Start11 'gremlins' to see if it's worth continuing with the software.
