Known issues
While we appreciate all feedback, please remember that we offer no official support for beta \ preview \ developer channel versions of Windows. If you report issues while in any of those early release channels, you should not expect them to be addressed unless it still exists in a retail version of Windows.

This issue is still present unfortunately: https://forums.stardock.com/541609/windows-10-style-issue-with-icon-placement/
My thumbnail previews when I hover over my pinned taskbar is completely broken now, no previews show up at all. Tried messing with the settings but nothing changed. Tried to re-install and the issue still persisted. Currently using triple monitors. Unfortunately will have to keep "Let Start11 enhance the taskbar" disabled until this gets resolved. Windows 11 ver. 25H2 (OS Build 26200.8655).
Is it possible to revert back to an older build? I only see a download link for the latest build and I don't trust going to third party websites for older build links.

I can confirm I have the same windows version as you , Start11 Version 2.73 and also have this problem. I also have three monitors connected to my laptop. very frustrating

If you switch to just one monitor as a test (win+p -pick pc screen only), does it then work?
Also what layout are your monitors?

Recently, I have updated to v2.72 and very strange thing started happening regarding the taskbar icons. When clicking on my Browser icon, it started to launch Factorio (which is as another icon there). Browser window and all that works still as expected (and if the browser is closed, it just starts the browser). Other icons clicked do not have this behaviour. I today updated to v2.73 and this still keeps happening.

My windows 11 version is 23H2 (22631.6199)
Edit: Okay, today I learned that for some reason, Microsoft just stopped sending me updates, so I forcefully updated my Windows to 25H2 and it looks like this issue got resolved. Still a bit funny and unexpected issue.
Hopefully that might resolve one another issue I had there, but I will report that once it actually happens on those updated versions.
I upgraded to 2.73 today, and the File Explorer error came back with this release upon restart.
File system error 1073479340
Windows 11 Version 25H2 OS Build 26200.8655
I there a download link for 2.72, it worked well?
Thanks,

I tried unplugging all my external monitors and flipping taskbar features back on and the thumbnail preview was working. I then readded my HDMI monitor (monitor 4) and the thumbnail preview still worked on both.
I then added 2 and 3 back in (both connected to a dock via USB-C connector) and the taskbar disappeared completely, so I restarted it using start11 options above the taskbar features toggle. The taskbar came back and the thumbnail preview is not working again.

I believe we have this sorted internally and there should be a beta update out later today. This thread will be updated when it goes out.
Sorry about the issue and thanks for letting us know.
