[quote who="TroubleChute" reply="3" id="3952530"] I experienced a few more crashes. I completely reinstalled Windows keeping none of my programs or settings because it was getting slower - thought that may have been it. Nope. Reinstalled. 100% HDD health according to smart, and same issue. After reinstalling Start11, configuring how I like it and letting it run, Windows Explorer started crashing. All of my explorer windows closing. I'm afraid I'm being pushed closer

This is a bug in Windows 11 not WindowBlinds. We do not do the blur ourselves, it is left to the OS to do and sometimes it forgets to repaint things.

[quote who="micahbucy1" reply="2" id="3952224"] I am on the insider Beta channel, 23H2 build 22635.4515, so closer to retail release and am also seeing this issue. In addition, the combined taskbar button option is broken in terms of minimizing and restoring when multiple windows are open. [/quote] Beta channel has some taskbar changes Microsoft are still working on. It is particularly odd for them to make that particular change in a 23h2 update so it may be a code mer

This is not a change in Start11 but a change in Windows. We should have a workaround for this in the next update.

Are you able to zip up your backup file and send me a private message with a link to download it so we can try to reproduce the problem locally?

Are any of your taskbars set to on top of a screen? Start11 has no logic for positioning desktop icons at all so shouldn't be impacting them but the OS will reposition things itself if the desktop icon area changes size. A taskbar on the top of a screen or a multi row taskbar could trigger this.

Reply to Start11 V2.11 in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

[quote who="BobDelamare" reply="4" id="3950899"] It is definitely Start 11. I upgraded my graphics driver this morning in case it was that. Sure enough MS pushed Cumulative Update for Win11 V23H2 at me again. After the reboot I ran my emailer and Firefox and all stayed still. However when I ran Start11, clicked on the Task Bar option and the Restart Explorer button, the screen blanked, although Start11 stayed visible. Ran the Auto Repair and uninstalled latest quality update.

[quote who="Meedas" reply="103" id="3950832"] Are you using the latest NVIDIA driver? If you are, that may be the issue. NVIDIA confirmed there is an issue where it breaks transparency effects for Windows 10. Windows 11 is not affected. [/quote] Apparently not the first time they have broken that either. Happened last November too!

Reply to DesktopGPT can you make it resizable? in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

Unfortunately Start11 requires a resolution that is 1200 pixels wide to use the config screen. 1200 pixels wide at 125% scaling is only the same as 960 pixels and at 150% it would be 800 pixels. I appreciate this is annoying, but as I am sure you can imagine such low resolution portrait modes are extremely uncommon usage especially as a primary display. If you used a tablet I would say just rotate it to use the config screen but I understand you are on a deskto

Find the installer exe and right click on it and select properties. What does the digital signatures tab show as the most likely explanation here is the exe is corrupted. You should double click on the embedded signature to see if it is considered valid or not.

Reply to Connection to Windows 10 VM doens't work in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

Multiplicity controls the local console. So that is acts like physical mouse / keyboard. A remote desktop session by default creates a new session that the local keyboard and mouse cannot control. I seem to recall there being an option to use the local console session but it seems things may have changed. For more info see here : https://superuser.com/questions/1047139

This doesn't sound like something caused by Start11. Is it possible you installed or updated something else recently?

Reply to Has Start11 been ready for 24h2? in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Uninstall Start11, REBOOT and reinstall. Start11 should work fine on 24H2 so something may have broken your install. If that doesn't help then check the control page in Start11 settings to make sure it is set to use the Start11 menu.
