Reply to DeskScapes Videos Consume Bandwidth in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

I assume you are referring to Animated Backgrounds (Dreams) when you refer to "motion/video." I am running Windows 10 Pro 19045.2075 and have been running DeskScapes 11 (ver. 10.96, 11 beta 5) for more than a year and have not experienced this issue. There is no reason DeskScapes 11 should be using an inordinate amount of Network resources. It is more likely that something with your system configuration is in conflict with DeskScapes 11 causing this issue. Have you tried disab

Reply to groupy is causing word/windows app to become laggy each time I open them? in Groupy Stardock Forums

I have been using Groupy since December of 2018 through multiple Windows 10 OS upgrades without any issues. I am currently running Windows 10 Pro 19045.2075. Your issues could be a corrupted installation of Groupy or a compatibility issue with another app you are running. As a first step, I would also suggest a purge and re-install as basj suggests. Important! Run the purge and then reboot your computer; install Groupy from a fresh download from your account; and this is really import

Windows 10 Pro 19045.2075; using the Start11 Windows 10 Style menu I installed the Start 11 ver. 1.26 beta over 1.25 Stable today. After the reboot, half of my Start Menu icons were missing and I was unable to re-pin them from the All Apps section of the start menu. I had created a Restore Point before the install, and after restoring to the previous state before the 1.26 install, the same Start Menu icons were still missing, but I now was able to re-pin them.

In the current Beta of DeskScapes (10.96; ver. 11 Beta 5) , when you delete a Dream by right clicking and then "Delete background" in the Options menu, a placeholder for the background continues to exist in the Recent Backgrounds and Recently Installed sections. This is very annoying. Please, please, please address this issue in the final release.[e digicons]

Reply to Start11 makes windows general rendering laggy in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

I am running Windows 10 22H2 19045.1865 on my everyday work machine. I tested your issue on my device and there is definitely a lag when closing the Task Manager, and I mean no disrespect, but it is less than 1/2 a second and your gripe seems pretty petty. If you open and close the Task Manager 20 times every day, that costs you 10 seconds, if that, for the day. Yes it would be nice if it closed instantly, but this lag shouldn't be a deal breaker for using Start11 with the Auto Hide taskbar t

Reply to Start11 1.25 Start Menu doesn't look like Windows 10 in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Once you have your style picked as Windows 10, make sure you have "Use Windows 11 style icons" turned off and "Show app list in start menu" turned on in the Start11 Advanced Configuration settings. You can now right click start menu icons and set their size, turn on or off text, and change the color of the tile background. With the settings below, your start menu should look like the Windows 10 start menu. Play around with these settings and tweak your start menu the way you like it.
