Left Side Start Menu Icons

from Stardock Forums

I installed Stardock V2 on my PC and my Laptop.  When I configure my Documents, Downloads, etc. on the left side of the menu, using the Windows 10 menu style, The icons only show folders instead of the normal icons from Windows 10/11.  When I was running Stardock 1.x it was no issue.  The icons remained as they are in Windows 10/11.  How do I configure the icons so that they show the Windows 10/11 bitmap?

It should look something like this.

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,

This all started because after installing Start11V2 the left-side links were pointing to my Onedrive folders not my local folders.

This is what I had to do.

  1. Uninstalled Start11V2.
  2. Unlinked Onedrive.
  3. Shut down Onedrive.
  4. Rebooted
  5. Verified my Documents, Downloads, etc. were pointing to my PC locations, not Onedrive.
  6. Reinstalled Start11V2.
  7. Verified that the links in the icons to the left were pointing to my PC locations, not Onedrive.
  8. All icons are correct now.

Thank you for your quick responses.
