Wandering where exactly?

and this constant or only each time you click or ?

I've not been able to find where you can change the start button!  I have a nice collection, and would love to change it again.

Start11 on win11 22000.132

When I click the start button, the start menu does not pop up correctly and nothing happened.

The only way to open the start11 menu is by clicking Windows key.

Ctrl + Click can open start menu.

The problem is solved.

Thanks.

Did you see my posts about my issue with Start11 opening then immediately closing? I've posted twice on here now about it. It seems to have something to do with having Taskbar autohide turned on. If I click the Start button a second time it opens correctly, it seems to only show the problem when I first click the Start button after the Taskbar appears.

My issue is that Start11 won't load when the desktop comes up - I have to start it manually. Should there be a link/shortcut in the 'Startup' menu or (where)?

While attempting to troubleshoot this I came across a similar forum thread for Start10 which mentioned trying Start10tweak.exe in the program folder. When I look in the Start11 program folder I found many 'Start10'-named files (including Start10Tweak.exe).

Should these be there or are they somehow leftover from my previous Start10 installation?

Half the time I try to open start11 it closes immediately and I have to click it again and its been making it really difficult to use  
Its temperamental, it will be fine for a few trys then it starts happening again randomly.

To add, when I'm in a fullscreen app like a game, I can no longer keep the menu open when I alt+tab to my desktop. It keeps closing every time. (This issue is with bot start 10 and start 11, I bought 11 thinking the issue would be fixed) I've never had an issue with this software having used it for quite a few years too so im confused. 

Those should be there.

For compatibility reasons the dlls and start10.exe will remain with same names and the theme editor and tweak tool are identical to Start10 ones so remain the same names.

Start11 should automatically start.

If it is not then check the Service is installed correctly as most likely it is disabled or missing.

This issue is looking really similar to one experienced by other users with Start10.  https://forums.stardock.com/504805/shortcut-search-broken

I tried Open Shell Menu and it is able to find the shortcuts that Start11 cannot.

What can I do to help you diagnose this issue with Start11 not being able to find all programs in its search?

Windows 10 - Version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1165)

Migrated from start10 to start11, start11 was still using some of start10's old AppData.

Specifically, all the Universal Application shortcuts were still pointing to the path for Start10's Launch.exe, so none of these shortcuts would actually work.

Clearing the start10 AppData allowed Start11 to recreate these shortcuts.

That test build mentioned there appears to be Start10, not Start11. Why are you pointing me to it, as we're talking about Start11 here?

Hi Neil,

What's the name of the service? Even once Start11 is manually started I don't see anything running resembling Start(XX...) in Services.

How do I 'install' the service manually if it comes to that?

TIA

Chris.
