If you are using 2.55 beta that setting will also disable the auto hide animation on the taskbar.

Reply to Start 11 v2 search not working in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

[quote who="agumirato" reply="17" id="3975872"] No, disabling old start10 search works, but it uses new search engine that won't find files in network shares. I need to use old search. [/quote] The search engines should show the same results for files. The difference should be in how it appears visually. Note that searching network shares when it is not indexed would be a painful experience.

[quote who="guiohmsm44" reply="39" id="3975884"] Same issue to me. I tried 11.06 and the beta 11.07. Nothing works. Explorer works again when I apply the default skin. [/quote] Uninstall, reboot , then install 11.07 I suspect files were not replaced correctly.

Disable the option for start10 style searches, do you still get no results?

Reply to Start 11 v2 search not working in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Do you see apps and settings returned still, just not files? Or literally no results ever?

If the computers are not on the grid it should not be connecting. Connections are only made automatically when computers are on a grid or you make a KVM connection yourself.

There will be overheads such as credit card fees on orders which will be a greater percentage of smaller orders which is why the price has to take that into account.

Reply to 30 day trial - unable to connect to activation server in Accounts and Activation Help Stardock Forums

[quote who="wilsonpm" reply="7" id="3975554"] Just ran into this issue today, my guess is that Stardock activation does not support proxy.pac file / proxy server. Since I can't use the trial, I will find another product. Trials shouldn't require activation, and activation shouldn't be harder than using the product.

I recommend uninstalling, rebooting and then reinstalling 2.55 to rule out file replacement issues.

Reply to Strange artifacts when using windowblinds skins and zip extract lag in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

The black on file properties windows is a known issue on later Windows builds with HDR enabled and we are looking into it. Unfortunately Microsoft messed up transparency support in Windows 11 amongst other things and despite reporting it they have never fixed it. Because of this we have to use workarounds and HDR requires a different workaround than non HDR and it comes with some other complications.

Reply to Taskbar pins does not work in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

[quote who="consumer5" reply="4" id="3975413"] " What other software do you have running?" Seriously? Looking to blame something other than the source of the problem? I'm looking for some constructive suggestions/support, not a silly fishing expedition by someone who knows nothing on the subject. Taskbar pinning is a convenient feature for me and I have studied both potential causes (and thereby solutions) and alternatives to Start

When you say you are using an autohide taskbar, do you mean using the Start11 setting using enhanced taskbar, or the OS setting?

Reply to Multiple windows cover taskbar in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

[quote who="Pounds" reply="11" id="3975376"] Hey Adam - thanks for the beta! The fix didn't work for me. Using Chrome or Explorer to create many windows and then hovering over one of their taskbar items will still block a chunk of the taskbar. They are still horizontally positioned in the popup. [/quote] Could you post a screenshot? It should not be overlapping a taskbar at default width.

Reply to Taskbar pins does not work in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

[quote who="consumer5" reply="2" id="3975392"] Uninstalling and reinstalling had no effect on not being able to pin folders. The group policy editor is not blocking this pinning. Perhaps this supposed feature no longer works with Start11 because of recent OS updates. [/quote] I do not believe this has been broken by any recent OS changes. What other software do you have running and do you use something that gives focus to the window under the mouse?

[quote who="deanis74" reply="2" id="3975296"] I have tried it with or without autohide turned on. [/quote] The taskbar should be on top of everything already without auto hide enabled. If it is not then something else is going on. Do you have anything else on your computer that might impact explorer?

Touchpads sometimes detect the foreground window and send direct scrolling to that window (which will bypass MP) vs sending the mouse wheel message. What app do you have focused when you switch to the secondary?

Reply to Start11 - Steam icons not sizing correctly in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Both of those probably lack larger icons too. Some further changes have been made which should specifically help with the steam apps and blowing up the low resolution icons in the next Start11 update.
