Start 11 resuming from sleep, not always rendering taskbar icons

from Stardock Forums

Hi. I have 2.51. It is a relatively brand new licensed install (maybe 2 weeks?) on a brand new pc, win 11 pro 24h2, says build "26100.3194", installed from scratch. There are no pending updates. I keep the taskbar at the top of my screen, with everything centered in the taskbar. 

Most of the time when my system resumes from sleep, the taskbar will not render pinned taskbar icons.  I can't confirm exactly how often this happens, but I would say most if not all of the time.  The apps, if any are running, are still running. If I restart Windows Explorer, the icons will reappear, and stay there until the next time the system is asleep. 

Thanks!

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.

Thank you,

hello again. Glad to see things are back up!  Anyway: same problem persists. I did follow your directions. I confirmed that the latest version of Start 11 had a slightly newer program version number than the one I had before that. The current version I now have is 2.5.2.3-j205.

Thanks!
