Reply to Start11 v2 Release (2.74) Feedback in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

[quote who="chimpmatrix" reply="3996703" id="542077"] Hi SD devs, Had some issues with the taskbar replacement in Start11 for a few months; couldn't pin down a specific cause, so I've reverted to the Windows default for now. Pinned packaged apps will not launch from the Start11 taskbar. Left-clicking a pin that activates via AppUserModelID, such as Notepad, Outlook (new), or Claude Desktop, opens a file manager window at This PC instead of launching the

Reply to DeskScapes 2026 (26.0.1.1) Release Feedback in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

[quote who="pelaird" reply="3996771" id="542070"] I'm still experiencing DeskScapes 2026 not surviving an Explorer restart. However, once I right-click the desktop and select "Show more options..." DeskScapes starts. My system is Windows 11 Pro - 26200.8973; and DeskScapes 26.0.1.1 [/quote] Are you sure the service is starting up as that would typically be the reason.

Can you try uninstalling, REBOOTING and then reinstalling as it may be the files were not correctly replaced. The reboot in between is critical. If it continues after that we would like to know what your monitor setup is (positions of monitors, count of them), and what build of Windows 11.

Reply to Start button not centered on all moniters in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Are you sure you 100% sure you are using 2.74 as thats behaviour from earlier versions of Start11 which was changed a long time ago. You must have enhanced taskbar enabled as the config UI is showing the options to hide buttons which isn't offered without enhanced taskbar.

Reply to Seamless Display Failing in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

Do you use anything like TailScale (so VPN like)? What does it say on the message about the connection failure, does it list an IP address it tried? If so is that right? This would typically mean a firewall issue on the primary end.

Reply to Fall Guys unplayable 6 FPS since last Easy Anti Cheat EAC Update in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

How sure are you that it is trying to pull in wbload2.dll? wbload.dll would be normal but not wbload2.dll which would only be used by web browsers. It is not possible for us to run an app exclusion before load as thats purely OS level and OS limitations prevent an entirely clean unhook until sign out. EAC just needs to white list wbload.dll (or wbload2.dll apparently in this case?) These files are Stardock signed. Anything installing hooks is liable to hit

You need to update to 2.74 for the Taskbar Pins page to work correctly for this due to a small OS change causing issues.

Reply to Object Desktop Update and downloads and behavoir really frustrating at times (and getting worse) in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

Downloads are hosted on much faster sites than before for most of the apps (cachefly.net) so they should be basically near instant. I would certainly suspect a problem with the route between your ISP and the servers in this case. If you use the download links on store.stardock.com, does it download quicker?
