Reinstalling does not help at all. Win 11 21H2. 

Fix this, its not free software.

Do you have any other applications other than Start11 that mod taskbar and Startpanel? If you do can you uninstall those product and see if that help with the issue.

Thank you,

I don't use any other customization tools.

Are you using an autohide taskbar?

Also if you disable the option to let Start11 enhance the taskbar does the problem go away?

Finally does this happen after any specific action which might help us try to reproduce it?

I use autohide because i have oled. I will not disable any option, fix your software. I can reproduce the problem anytime with PhotoLab 5. PhotoLab has to be in maxymized window. Every minimize-maxymize action moves bar to the right.

Does not happen with chrome for example.

I can confirm that autohiding is enabled and I see this primarily when I run games in windowed full-screen mode and Alt-Tab out of it (but also occasionally at other times; not sure exactly what conditions are triggering this). I did follow the suggestion of uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, and rebooting and still see the issue. I also do not have any other customization software running.

Is there any update to this issue? I am finding the same thing - taskbar is set to autohide, and shifts over to the right periodically. I have not found a set of actions that replicate it - it seems to happen at random.

I am using Win11 and have no other taskbar customization tools installed. This is on a computer less than a month old.

We have an update to S11 in the works which should hopefully address this.

When will this update be available? The taskbar is almost unusable in its current state. I'm not sure why I paid for software that would make the taskbar worse than the Win11 taskbar. I'm frankly a little bit impressed that it *could* be made worse than that.
