After Start11 v2.5 update it shows extra folder icons on the bottom bar when I restart windoze

from Stardock Forums

After the Start11 v 2.5 update, whenever I restart my windoze 11 computer it shows 9 folder icons to the right as shown in the pic below. 

When I click on any of them nothing opens.  But I can click on the upper right x in the box that appears when I hover over each of them and they disappear.

Any idea why this would happen after the update?  And any idea how to get rid of this issue?

Are you also using explorer patcher?

Thanks for the replies.  Unfortunately the latest Beta update 2.5.1.2 didn't solve the issue.  And no, I'm not using explorer patcher.  Would that help?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try, uninstall Start11, reboot immediately (important), download latest version available in your account product download page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products. Install it, reboot immediately again. Retest it and report back.

It works now.  I uninstalled it, restarted, deleted the stardock folders in Program Files (x86), ProgramData, AppData\Local and AppData\Roaming.  Then I installed the latest version & restarted and the issue is gone.
