[quote who="joeshades" reply="4146529" id="539427"] No black line since disabling start 11 taskbar but now windows still think i am using start 11 taskbar and it keeps disabling auto hide [/quote] Is your taskbar at the bottom of the screen? Thats the only supported configuration for autohide in Windows 11 without the Start11 enhanced taskbar.

As a heads up the two different versions on the files (v11 and v26) is normal. One file is the same between the same versions so it wasn't reversioned. If you look closely you will see the filenames are different, one is the loader for the other.

[quote who="BramHallow" reply="4146504" id="516097"] i have paid for the start menu back three times now. Start8, then Start10, then Start11. then i stopped at Win10 LTSC, which was less about principle than not wanting to buy the same fix a fourth time, and cheaper than being loyal to any of it.

Reply to Taskbar centering problem since recent update in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Thanks for your bug report. Please ignore the post above as it contains inaccurate information. We have found the issue and it is unique to v2.8, it is nothing to do with 2.74 or 1.55. I will arrange for the update to go out as soon as possible.

You may need to set the option in Start11 to make it think you have a touch screen system. This is on the taskbar settings page at the bottom.

Reply to Start11 menu background blur and taskbar transparency gone in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

[quote who="doughb" reply="4146320" id="542349"] OMFG... I had recently enabled energy saver in my power settings, and that disabled the blur beneath my start menu and taskbar. How stupid of me.

Reply to Start11 menu background blur and taskbar transparency gone in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

What if you turn on automatic colour? Checking here isn't showing any problems with 2.8 and transparency. Are you using anything else which might impact transparency in explorer? Also is the taskbar still showing transparency (with blur?) always or only after a toggle? Finally did you upgrade video drivers recently (as they have been known to break OS blur) and what build of Windows 11 are you using?

Reply to Issues with the vertical taskbar after the latest update in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

What version of Start11 and Windows are you using? I am guessing you update to a preview release of Windows which is what triggered this in which case updating to the Start11 v2.8 beta update should fix this for you.

If those settings are not there it means your Windows version is too old. You need 24H2/25H2 or later ideally.

[quote who="mdsan" reply="4146057" id="541994"] Just following up -- is there going to be a permanent fix for this? I am still regularly forced to restart Explorer every time I swap windows. I've also started seeing (possibly related) AMD driver / graphics crashes. Most importantly, I also noticed that Start11 is printing the taskbar to the screen even when the screen is locked, showing all open windows & their titles. (I do not use tab grouping and all wind

It depends on how these tabs are exposed. If they are entirely internal to the app then AltTabby would be unable to do this, but we will investigate this.

After I updated to the beta, the secondary monitor's clock isn't showing (unless I use the ElevenClock app). The Start button is showing and working. Right-clicking the secondary taskbar does nothing. No icons are showing for apps running on the secondary taskbar, no matter how I configure the "Pinned taskbar shortcuts control" settings. If I set tho

Reply to Start11 triggers spontaneous Task View overlay on Windows 11 25H2 build 26200.9278 (KB5120998) in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

First thing to do is install the 2.8 beta update of Start11 and see if this continues as this is the update for 26H2. This is the first report of this we have seen and we have had boxes running the prerelease code for a while and have never seen this so this is a curious problem. What settings are you using in Start11? Are you using the enhanced taskbar, where is the taskbar positioned?

The solution was so simple it was a face-palm moment. Start11 > Taskbar > Show seconds on the taskbar clock = Off With this setting off, and Windhawk's Taskbar Clock Customization turn on, everything works. The seconds increment fine and do not freeze at '59'. Per Google

The wrap open is your only choice here as you cannot put a machine in the middle of anothers monitors (Windows would not let the mouse smoothly move between them then) We do offer a free trial though which might be worth trying to see if it suits your needs.
