Odd behavior with Start11, Fences, and Multiplicity

I am experiencing some extremely odd behavior on a tablet computer.

This might be related to https://forums.stardock.com/524341/page/2/#3913107

Computer

  • Windows 11 Home Insider Preview (system reset 1 December)
  • Version 22H2 build 23595.1001
  • Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8650U CPU @ 1.90GHz 2.11 GHz with 16GB RAM

Installed Stardock applications

  • Start11v2
  • Fences
  • Multiplicity

With an attached mouse or using Multiplicity with a mouse from my primary computer:

  • Start Button works as expected.
  • Clicking an item on the Task Bar works normally.
  • Clicking a collapsed app on the task bar restores normally.

Using touch screen:

  • Start Button usually does not work. Occasionally it does, but never on the first tap.
  • Clicking an item on the Task Bar opens two (sometimes three) instances of the app.
  • Clicking a collapsed app on the task bar restores and immediately collapses.

As a result, the computer is unusable as a tablet. Proper operation occurs only when I use either a local mouse or a remote mouse via Multiplicty.

I have spent hours over the weekend trying to troubleshoot this, but I haven't been able to find anything.

Some observations:

  • Disabling custom start button sometimes restores normal operation. Not reliably repeatable.
  • Disabling Start11 usually (but not always) restores normal operation.
  • Switching between Start left/Task Bar center, left aligned, and center aligned sometimes has an effect, but is also not repeatable.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Do know that Stardock does not support Windows Insider preview release. However, I have forward your problem to Stardock Support Team for their review. We appreciate your feedback.

Thank you.
