Start 11 - When using the task bar in the hidden mode the start info popup appears after pointer is over the start button in a second or so.

Blocks access to the start button so one has to be quick at selecting the start button or try again.

If the task bar is in the non-hidden mode, the start info box pops up outside of the start button and does not block it.  I really like the hidden mode and wish you would fix it or tell me how to stop the start info popup from happening.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know your Windows full version number please. Use Winver.exe to get Windows full version numbers. Also need to know Start11 version installed in your system.

Thanks

Start11 is now on V1.18 beta, please try those. You should be able to download it from your account or refer to the first post on this thread :https://forums.stardock.com/511199

This is the not expected overlay of the Start 11 icon by info icon in top mode - left and center.

In addition to the start overlay I have noticed the apps pinned to the taskbar experience the same info overlay when not active. When they are active, they show the status popup normally.

Many thanks that revision 1.25 fixed the problem. I do not need to rush to click start anymore.
