Given the symptoms, I would say the software isn't starting up at all other than the config screen. If you open taskmanager do you see Start11_64.exe and Start11Srv.exe running on the processes tab? One possibility is you have an AV or antimalware app which is blocking the start of the Start11 service which is listed as Stardock Start11 in the services.msc window.

Start11 v1 isn't designed for Windows 25H2, it was replaced with Start11 v2 two years ago which could be a factor here depending on features in use. Are you using enhanced taskbar?

Do you have autohide taskbar enabled in Windows? That will stop you moving it, but you can use the Start11 auto hide mode instead.

Out of interest how did you end up with 23H2 when upgrading from Win10? That reached end of servicing for home/pro recently. With regards to your issue, do you have enhanced taskbar in Start11 enabled or disabled?

[quote who="jesse40" reply="19" id="3982512"] I'm going to buy Fences v6. Didn't know v3 was outdated. 1. First Start11 crashes and doesnt respond 2. (file) Explorer works fine 3. Agressive clicking on start11 triggers restart 4. explorer.exe starts and the normal taskbar shows (at the bottom) 5. 10 sec later start11 restarts and the top taskbar is back and functional This all takes +/- 1 minute So Start11 makes explorer restart.

[quote who="Viperlocc" reply="14" id="3982387"] I have this same issue. When I slide the cursor off screen it says on top of my primary now controlling secondary but the screen stays showing the primary and doesnt switch to secondary and not sure why since both are windows 11. Try switching to KVM which I did and that works great which doesn't make sense since the other way doesnt and I have everything checked. [/quote] I think you may be m

[quote who="lh1996" reply="8" id="3982189"] Hello, developers. Here I would like to report an issue. In version 2.2, when you create a new rule in the custom rules section with blank configuration, you can get a "Not yet defined". After you configure the rule, no matter which software or file you open, they will all be automatically merged into one tab, which is a very nice feature. However, in version 2.3, the same setting no longer works. Please fix this feature. thank you.

Thats not entirely true. On initial creation of the right hand links the current translation the OS is using would be used and this would be saved.

Reply to Teams Icon changed in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

This isn't something Start11 can alter, whilst it would paint the icon for the taskbar when in enhanced taskbar mode (and only enhanced taskbar mode), it never paints the icon on the jumplist or provides the jumplist functionality. There are three possible reasons I can see : 1) Icon Cache corruption causing the OS to return the wrong icon to things that ask for it 2) You have created a shortcut to Teams which is using that icon. 3) A teams update (which happen

It sounds like you might be using a too old version of Windows. You need 23h2 or later.

Reply to Star 2 in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Being on such an old version of Windows could certainly be a factor especially if it fails to see updates. If you are stuck on 21h2 you will get worse security support than Windows 10 I think. How did you even end up on that version as Windows updating from Windows 10 should be installing something far newer. The other thing to check is if something has stopped the Start11 service from starting. Finally do you have anything else installed to give you say a Wind

Reply to Start11 - Option to Change Icons & HoverText in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Those strings are the ones Windows used for those shortcuts on Windows 7. On that OS the text is displayed always so those are the help text in a tooltip. For the Windows 10 menu there is no text always visible so I can see why it might not be as clear and we can look to tweaking things a bit.

Reply to Start11 2.55 Taskbar disable won't stick in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

[quote quoting="post"] I've had a persistent issue that Chrome apps pinned to the taskbar don't show the assigned icon, so I decided to go back to the Windows 11 taskbar which displays them correctly. Although Taskbar enhancement is disabled, it still loads whenever I restart, hibernate, lock, and some other random conditions. This requires restarting Windows Explorer to get the Win 11 taskbar back. The condition occurs on multiple computers with both Windows 11 Pro 24H2 and 25H2. [

I would install beta 2.56 as it has updates. Also do you have deskscapes installed as we are aware of an issue with it blocking the taskbar until it gets a click on it.

Reply to Copy Paste Issue in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

Does it detect the clipboard contents and offer paste? Typically this would be a problem with firewall settings. The computer you are doing the paste from has to be able to connect to the other computer. So it would be a firewall issue on the computer which is the source of the clipboard data.
