Since installing windows update KB5066835, taskbar pins are really slow to load if they load at all. Sometimes after starting my computer I have to click on the task bar to get them to load, other times it takes a good minute or two for them to load after boot. This just started happening after installing KB5066835 (regular OS patch cadence), KB5066131 (.NET cumulative update) and KB5068331 (.NET security update for x64 client).

Windows 11 24H2 26100.6899

Start11 2.55

Dump of my settings for start 11:

It's workable at the moment, but I think the latest windows update did something that isn't playing well with start 11 or it was the .NET update if you're using .NET.

I was using Start 11 for a vertical taskbar on the left for a couple months but recently (past week+) it's continually crashing and restarting anytime I interact with it beyond clicking a taskbar item (to focus on a window).

Start button? Crashes

Right click to configure Start 11 with context menu? Crashes

Anyone have a clue? im on most recent version as of this post: 2.55

It's odd because I can us the taskbar and start menu, but when I click away it loses focus and crashes.

Microsoft Windows 11 Version 24H2 (0S Build 26100.6899)

Can you update to the 2.56 beta please.

If that doesn't work we will give you some instructions to make a dmp file so we can investigate further as thats not normal.
