You need to install the latest WindowBlinds version. 11.02 is too old to support the more recent Microsoft changes. 11.05 is current I believe. This is available from your store downloads page.
Also what exact CPUs are in use for both primary and secondary computers?
Firstly I would try using the 4.05 beta thats available in your downloads for both machines. Also what antivirus package are you using as perhaps it is interfering with something. A quick test here between two Win11 boxes (primary current, secondary Win11 canary channel) isn't showing a problem with KVM connections so it doesn't seem to be a global issue. I would also be interested in knowing if task manager processes tab is showing the multiplv64 process running or no

I believe the older style blur has been removed from later versions of Windows so Start11 moved onto using acrylic to ensure consistency. Plus the taskbar also uses acrylic so it wouldn't have blended in well. That said, as you are on Windows 10 you do have options. Add the following registry key : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8 And add a string value called "AcrylicBlurAllowed11" and give it a value of 0. You may or m

[quote who="duranman2000" reply="23" id="3972516"] none my Stardock apps are working [/quote] I would recommend uninstalling, rebooting and then reinstalling. That is not normal.
That looks like Start11 isn't providing the taskbar as the taskbar buttons are non equal size. I.e. enhanced taskbar is disabled. In that mode Start11 shouldn't have any interaction with those popups and you should see the same behaviour without Start11 too. I think that might also be an insider release of Windows judging by the size of the lines under the taskbar items?
[quote who="JPV_2025-06-25" reply="8" id="3972212"] I uninstalled WindowBlinds some time ago. It took a bit of effort, but things eventually returned to normal. However, I still use Start11 and Groupy 2 on a daily basis. The issue hasn’t reappeared since I removed WindowBlinds, which might be a useful clue for you to consider. I wish you the best of luck in resolving this problem, which is making WindowBlinds (or possibly another one of y
I do not believe this is a WindowBlinds issue. There is a bug in Windows which can be triggered by unknown circumstances with mixed dpi setups where it incorrectly scales fonts which will resolve after a reboot. I have never seen this reported with WindowBlinds but I have seen the occasional report with Groupy.
What AV package are you using as that could be interfering with Start11 too as the latest version of Start11 used a different signing certificate and it might incorrectly not be trusting it and so silently blocking it.
[quote who="philboycn" reply="28" id="3972169"] When I set the taskbar to the top and used software such as topnotify to adjust the position of Windows notifications, the notification form flickered. Please correct it, or can start11 manage the location of Windows notifications. [/quote] Do not use topnotify. Start11 already positions things correctly.
The no search box is normal. This is due to how Windows handles that as it expects to be at the bottom of the screen,
Is the area where the start menu would show?
Are you clicking on the start button or using the windows key? Also check your menu selection in Start11 settings and on the control page to make sure it is set to show the Start11 menu.
The first thing I would try is disabling the animation option in Start11. This can be found by clicking the configure menu option, then customize menu visual appearance, and then it is an option under Change visual effects on the menu.

I am pleased to say the root issue was found and this should be resolved in the next Start11 update. Thanks for letting us know.
[quote who="Frustrated99" reply="10" id="3971620"] Yes but it took me 30+ mins to figure out what the issue was. I changed settings not to use the IP address. Probably will avoid setting the use of IP addresses if the device is not using a hard coded IP. Whether it will work properly the next time I need it to work is debatable. [/quote] You should not use the IP option unless the machine has a static IP. Otherwise it will not work when the IP address cha

Isn't showing preview images on hover the expected behaviour here?
Are you sure you didn't perhaps also do something else as having tested that here it is having no impact on Start11 which is what I would have expected as Start11 has no interaction with those keys. If it isn't showing the menu then something is stopping Start11 from starting, is the Stardock Start11 service still enabled?

I must say that we cannot offer any formal support if any Windhawk enhancements are enabled due to how they work. You run the risk of introducing conflicts and excluding the Stardock directories will not help as many of the Stardock apps run in other processes as part of how they work.
