Reply to Start11 Grouped Icons Issue in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

[quote who="Tof006" reply="5" id="3990298"] Hi, I'm having a similar problem but it's opening another pinned app when there are 2 windows opened for the same app. Recommending to install a Beta version is not what I expect from you. When is 2.7 gonna be out of beta? Thanks [/quote] I would suspect in the next few weeks. Installing the beta version is the quickest route to a solution which is why it was suggested as your particular issue is a

Reply to Start11 Grouped Icons Issue in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

I would recommend installing v 2.7 beta as there were changes to combined taskbar buttons. However I can promise that Start11 should mirror what the OS does. It is worth noting there may have been a change in this behaviour from the OS in recent updates from Microsoft.

I would also consider uninstalling, REBOOTING and then reinstalling as this may also address your issue (though v2 also has lots of new things which you may like) Sometimes Windows upgrades glitch and stop things starting up correctly which might be what has happened here.

Reply to Start11 stopped displaying Slack icon in task bar in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

[quote who="cmbruyns" reply="6" id="3990125"] Sir, I used to think and still think that Stardock produce good software. However, when I pay extra for a so called Lifetime license, I get told by less than friendly support staff that my license doesn't extend from Start11 .1 xxx to Start11 2.xxx I thus now use better software that cost me nothing. No doubt the support staff will be able to assist with your troubleshooting

Reply to Groupy failed to run in Groupy Stardock Forums

Have you installed anything which might modify the OS like a WindHawk mod? That message can only show in one specific case and thats when the OS tells Groupy that windows is not in that mode which is queried via the OS standard API for checking that. If it returns no there will be something outside of Groupy causing this. The most likely alternative explanation is Group Policy on your computer is overriding the entry you are adding. The DWM may be providing the dra

It would sound like perhaps the Start11 processes are not running. If you open taskmanager do you see Start11_64.exe or Start11Srv.exe on the details tab? My best guess here is something is blocking Start11 from starting. AV packages would be the most likely cause. What AV do you use?

Reply to How to get white font in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

[quote who="pelaird" reply="3" id="3989616"] Try using these settings. [/quote] Yes Windows has two dark modes. One for the taskbar / startmenu and another for apps. Setting Windows mode to dark will give you a dark taskbar and thus white text.

By transparent, what are you trying to get it to do? The menu has a blur so the background will never become entirely invisible in the background as that would be unusable if there is anything under it thats not basically solid colour.

Reply to Start11 2.60 Release Feedback in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

[quote who="Ralph124C41" reply="79" id="3989502"] VoidTools Everything integration is not working with the latest version of Everything. I suspect that Start11 is assuming the default instance name for Everything v1.4, which no longer is valid with Everything 1.5 which currently has an obligatory named instance ("1.5a" or a custom one, in this case "startup", so that there can be a restricted friendly search for Start11 and the option to open a second "user" instance for admin

[quote who="Mwyann" reply="76" id="3989486"] Hi, New user of Start11 and it is a nice piece of software! But I have two quick questions about it: Tile placement feels chaotic/buggy When I try to arrange tiles in the Windows 10 style Start menu, their placement is very inconsistent. Tiles frequently jump to unexpected positions or groups instead of staying where I drop them, which makes it very hard to organi
