Reply to Start 11 v2 Windows 10 Style, Groups from folders don't allow size modification in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

I tested this and for some reason the Group Row count seems to be stuck at 3 Rows (small icons) and can't be changed. The Automatic setting doesn't work either. This is definitely a bug. However, if the Folder is a Tab, the Group Row count works as expected.

It sounds like some other software is interfering with Start11. Open the Task Manager and select Processes. Scroll through the list and see if anything pops out at you that might be affecting the taskbar. Check for these: RainbowTaskbar ExplorerPatcher RoundedTB 7+ Taskbar Tweaker NiceTaskbar TaskbarX

Creating Folders on the Start menu in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

One of the changes made to Start11v2 is that you no longer have to hold the shift key down when dragging icons on top of each other to create folders. This was probably requested somewhere along the way, but I find it troublesome. When rearranging icons I am constantly creating folders by mistake. My request is to add an option in the Config's to require the shift key to create a folder. Thanks, pelaird

Reply to Start11 v2 - How to prevent group creation in start menu in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

This action used to require the Shift key to be held down in order to group icons. I'm with you, this is very troublesome as I'm having the same issue. I wish they would change this back to requiring the shift key to group, or at least and option to require the shift key. I have this same problem when moving apps aground on my iPhone.

Do you have now or ever have Explorer Patcher installed? This has been the cause of the same issue in two other posts. Windows updates break it and it then causes issues with Start11.

Resolved the issue of having too many items in a folder resulting in being unable to see all of the items. It will now scroll them instead. Should we undo the Registry tweak for this before installing, or did you use the same string name and value? Never mind , it's still needed to keep the context menu in one column.

I understand the muscle memory thing. I have a 42" monitor and it's quite a haul over to the right side of the monitor, especially since the Start button is now in the middle. If you have Microsoft PowerToys, you can use "Keyboard Manager" to remap keys, including to shortcuts, on your keyboard. I remapped one of my keys to the shortcut WinKey+M, so now it's very easy show the Desktop with out leaving the keyboard.

The WinKey+X should open the WinX menu. Just remember you have to hold the WinKey down while clicking the X key. The start menu doesn't open until you release the WinKey.
