start button center aligned broken

from Stardock Forums

I just did the latest 1.5 update. I was using the Center Aligned option under the Start Button section for quite a while with no issues. After this last update when I choose center aligned for the start button the start button and all my pined items move back and forth about and 1/8 of an inch non-stop. When I switch it to left aligned the jumping back and forth stops. I understand the feature says it's experimental, but it was working perfect, now it doesn't. Please fix.

Windows 11 Home 23H2

OS build 22631.3085

AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT video card.

 

I have no idea how to make a video of the issue. The start button and the pinned items move to the left, right, left, right, left, right, over and over and over moving about and 1/8" each time. It's like they are shaking back and forth.

I can not recreate your issue on my Windows 11 system. First, please try this, to make sure everything installed correctly. Uninstall Start11, keep setting. Reboot immediately after uninstall finished. Re-download latest version again from your product page. Install it. Reboot again immediately after installation finished. Retest and report back.

Thank you,

Are you using a non-standard scaling factor? e.g. 163 instead of 125, 150, 175 etc.

Uninstall and reinstall did not help, issue remained. I did some troubleshooting, changed resolutions and scaling and depending on the combo I can get it to stop shaking or depending on which apps or how many I have open I can get it to stop shaking, but eventually it comes back.

It appears to me to be the combination of monitor size, scaling, and resolution that start 11 doesn't like.

I only got start 11 because Microsoft crippled the task bar when win11 first came out. They have since added back almost all the features I needed, so I don't really need start11 anymore. I have uninstalled start11 and let windows center the start button, pinned items, and open apps. Windows has no issues, works fine, so I'll just stay with that.

Start11 served its purpose but for me it's not needed anymore. Thanks.
