Reply to Start 11 asks me to re-activate already-activated product in a dual-boot Windows environment. in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Does the message say why you need to reactivate? I would check you are using a different key on each and that you don't have any cleanup tools running to remove 'unneeded files' as we are aware some have errors which causes them to wipe out the activation state.

Are you able to explain which features in Multiplicity you are using here and how your setup looks? Is this KVM mode, Seamless mode, or Seamless display mode?

Reply to Multiplicity Audio occasionally stops in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

[quote who="nekonron" reply="57" id="3990441"] Been experiencing this problem for months, tried all the suggestions everywhere I could find including here, and finally found a fix for mine. I somehow found a suggestion to try running LatencyMon for audio related issues and after checking the results with an LLM (actually being useful!), it managed to provide a few possible scenarios. Turns out the problem was actually a failing HDD that seems to be interrupting the CPU a

Reply to Saving a group does not preserve the 'Pin Groupy Tabs' setting of the Saved group in Groupy Stardock Forums

It would require Chrome to provide a mechanism for us to a) detect a tab is pinned and b ) be able to flag that something should be considered pinned when opened from the command line. Neither of these things exist currently.

[quote who="ERW300ZX" reply="11" id="3990345"] Should I expect a reply? [/quote] Sorry there was a slight delay looking into things further. We have tried the Windows store version of Slack but again the right icon shows. It is interesting to hear the Windows notification centre also shows the wrong icon though as that points to an error in the app potentially rather than Start11 as thats not something we provide. If you right click on the pin, does t

[quote who="kjulius" reply="3" id="3990322"] When I click on Start10tweak this comes up? I tried disabling program compatibility, but same message appears when clicking on Start10tweak. [/quote] Thats because someone at Microsoft decided to block older versions of Start11/10 on ARM machines (before it had support) and for reasons best known to them they blocked that exe too. Your best bet here is to open services and set the Stardock Start11 service to disable

[quote who="Tof006" reply="5" id="3990298"] Hi, I'm having a similar problem but it's opening another pinned app when there are 2 windows opened for the same app. Recommending to install a Beta version is not what I expect from you. When is 2.7 gonna be out of beta? Thanks [/quote] I would suspect in the next few weeks. Installing the beta version is the quickest route to a solution which is why it was suggested as your particular issue is a

Reply to Start11 Grouped Icons Issue in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

I would recommend installing v 2.7 beta as there were changes to combined taskbar buttons. However I can promise that Start11 should mirror what the OS does. It is worth noting there may have been a change in this behaviour from the OS in recent updates from Microsoft.

Reply to Start11 Wont work in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

I would also consider uninstalling, REBOOTING and then reinstalling as this may also address your issue (though v2 also has lots of new things which you may like) Sometimes Windows upgrades glitch and stop things starting up correctly which might be what has happened here.

[quote who="cmbruyns" reply="6" id="3990125"] Sir, I used to think and still think that Stardock produce good software. However, when I pay extra for a so called Lifetime license, I get told by less than friendly support staff that my license doesn't extend from Start11 .1 xxx to Start11 2.xxx I thus now use better software that cost me nothing. No doubt the support staff will be able to assist with your troubleshooting

Reply to Groupy failed to run in Groupy Stardock Forums

Have you installed anything which might modify the OS like a WindHawk mod? That message can only show in one specific case and thats when the OS tells Groupy that windows is not in that mode which is queried via the OS standard API for checking that. If it returns no there will be something outside of Groupy causing this. The most likely alternative explanation is Group Policy on your computer is overriding the entry you are adding. The DWM may be providing the dra

Reply to Start11 stopped displaying Slack icon in task bar in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Is your version of Slack the one from the Windows Store, or the one from the website? Slack seems to be showing the icon here just fine (latest from the website), shows as version 4.48.102. Does this match the version you are seeing?
