Start11 v2 stable and beta crash windows explorer

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more on your system.

1. Windows 10 or 11? And, need its full version and OS Build number. Please use Winver.exe
2. Post a video showing us the issue will help us understand the issue better.

Thank you.

WinVer.

I'll try and capture when it crashes, its totally random. 

Ive tried a clean install with no backup, the purge-start bat with same results. 

It might be something similar issue reported by Dragon NaturallySpeaking User reported before. However to be sure, I have forwarded your problem/question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience.

added: I notice when you have Voice launcher turn on Windows introduce a new permenant bar on top edge if your monitor, yes. Do you by any change also have your taskbar on the same location? And/or using taskbar autohide?

Thank you.

Im using MS Voice Typing, not Voice Access. Voice access does use a fixed window across the top. Voice Typing uses a floating window, 

Taskbar is not on autohide

I tested Voice typing and launcher. But, I can't reproduce your issue on my system. Please try this. Uninstall, Start11, reboot immediately after uninstall finished (important). Re-download latest version Start11v2.09 Beta. Install it, reboot immediately again after installation finished. Retest and report back.

Thank you,

I've done those steps with the same result before creating this thread.

It's totally random. And everything is stable until after I launch voice typing and use it several times. Then Explorer randomly crashes and need to be restarted. Last night I disabled Let Start11 enhanced the taskbar and explorer only crashed immediately afterwards and nothing for the rest of the evening. I'll keep it off for a few days and see if that resolved the issue, then reenable it to try and reproduce the problem

So far disabling 'Let Start11 enhanced the taskbar' has eliminated Explorer crashes when using Voice Typing

Appreciate the update report. I have added it to my report to Support.

Thank you,

This appears to be fixed in v2.1. So far several hours with no Explorer crash and Enhanced Taskbar enabled. 

Great, happy to hear that. Do update us if the issue reappear.

Thank you,
