Reply to Start 11 v2.5 vertical taskbars on Windows 11 in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

[quote who="spiderlech3377" reply="6" id="3958734"] I tried Start11_2.5.1.0-j191-Setup.exe and there was no difference. However, on the same pc, logging on as a different user, the issue seemed resolved and I was able to resize the taskbars regardless of where they were positioned. I am not sure what I have in my admin account that prevents it from working - registry entry or background application. I am still testing. [/quote] Have you used

[quote who="Penguinix" reply="11" id="3958732"] For me: I toggled off the "Let Start11 enhance the taskbar" option, let it restart Windows Explorer, then toggled the enhanced taskbar back on. So, far the problem has gone away. I will let you know if it starts happening again. [/quote] Updating to the 2.51 beta would probably address this too.

[quote who="InputSourceSelect" reply="31" id="3958668"] The beta has not fixed it for me totally, the bar is no longer completely frozen until i click a window but takes two clicks, one to focus on the start bar then one to open the window [/quote] Uninstall, REBOOT, reinstall. I suspect the files were not replaced correctly.

[quote who="SimplexDesigns" reply="17" id="3958562"] Just these that are on (plus that modern file picker not shown below). However, start11 should really be using that modern folder picker over the small file list dialog. Please update that picker to use what other apps use when selecting folders. That picker you guys use is a pain to select folders deep into the system. The shortcuts created with the numbers work, just dont name correctly. This is the Ui that nee

[quote who="COGger" reply="5" id="3958533"] Both laptops do have external displays and I do need to raise the lid. I need access to the keyboard and the internal display as thhe external one doesn't turn on until after I raise the lid. Raising the lid is not enough for Multiplicty to kick in and allow me to use the Primary's keyboard and mouse [/quote] I suspect if you left it long enough it probably would connect once the lid is open. My gut feeling here is this is

[quote who="mrWoozie" reply="109" id="3958541"] Windows 11 24H2 26100.2894 After Start11 update it started to behave totally unstable causing entire system to freeze for a while and random programs crashing. I have 3 screens setup. Taskbar is working fine on the primary screen, but on secondary screens taskbar is not interactive unless you click on it first. You can move mouse over icons on taskbar on secondary screens but it's not making icons to "hover". After cli

[quote who="SimplexDesigns" reply="14" id="3958509"] modern file picker in windhawk. It seems start11 is the only one that does not like that setting, works fine with my other apps. Start11 needs to swap to this modern file picker, its using a dated one that not very user friendly.

[quote who="we684123" reply="5" id="3958482"] Hello basj, I’ve encountered a new issue. It seems that Start11 cannot pin "*.ps1" (PowerShell files). May I ask if there’s a solution for this? [/quote] Thats strange. How are you trying to pin and which menu style are you using? If you are using Win10 / 11 etc styles then the right click menu in a group has new->Pin item which should open a browse window to pick the file you want. T

Reply to Start11 2.5 - WIN10 style not working in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Are you using a custom start button or the OS one and do you have enhanced taskbar enabled? If you are not using a custom start button, what happens if you enable one? Also is there anything else running which might alter the taskbar or desktop in any way?

[quote who="thomas5" reply="28" id="3958329"] Tried it, no change. After some time, taskbar is not clickable anymore (looks like it's freezed) on both side monitors, works only on my main monitor. When I hover a bit over the the icon on the side monitors, sometimes preview appears and then the button is getting active again. Or I click on my other side monitor, the freeze is gone also for some time. [/quote] There is a 2.51 beta available now which should address this.

Reply to Start11 v2.5 Beta Arrives with Vertical Taskbars in Start News Stardock Forums

[quote who="ECNB" reply="67" id="3958330"] Downloaded and installed V2.5 yesterday. I can move taskbar to the top of screen but neither right nor left is working for me. Windows 11, 24H2 not installed, 3840x2160 resolution on laptop, same for monitor. Anything I'm missing here. [/quote] Uninstall, reboot and then reinstall as probably did not replace the earlier version of start11 correctly.

[quote who="Neil_N" reply="99" id="3958319"] The test build looks to have resolved the GadgetPack issue. Before I update my main computer from v2.11, is there any reason why the fix wouldn't work with a multi-monitor setup? I don't have a v2.11 install file to back to [insert standard grumble about Stardock practices here]. [/quote] I would hold off as I think we are going to do a proper update with some other tweaks.
