Are you using start 11 version 1.22? https://forums.stardock.com/511755/page/1/#3848063 Also are you on regular Windows 11 or the insider beta/dev version?

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="7" id="3848061"] Are you sure thats on medium as those icons look like large. Also is that an autohide taskbar? Those can only be one line and a fixed height. [/quote] I have discovered the issue. I have a 2 in 1 laptop and have the following taskbar option. "optimize taskbar for touch interactions when this device is used as a tablet" When I turned this feature "off" the taskbar went back to normal. Honestly, with

Hi Naroon, Groupy 2 is simply ahead of windowblinds 11 in the que and the list of projects on Stardock's agenda. Technically, they are both projects that could be worked on at the same time, but I expect that Groupy 2 will at least have a release before we see Windowblinds 11

There are a few dominos that need to fall first. 1. Start 11 needs to be completed. 2. Groupy 2 needs to be started (maybe even completed) 3. 22H2 needs to be completed. I don't think we have anything more then that at this time.

I think the one area that Windows 11 is dropping the ball is with customization and personalization. I think any areas that start 11 can change the look of the taskbar for a more custom look will be a big win in general. That includes transparency, textures, and skin. Personally, I would like to customize the tabs in the taskbar. I.e. color change and transparency control for the actual tabs outside of the rest of the taskbar.

[quote who="wondersquid666" reply="55" id="3847467"] I wish I would have known that this would not support insider releases should have read the fine print before I bought it. It is making my system very unstable I'm going to uninstall it for now and check back in a couple of months. [/quote] Start 11 is working just fine for me on the dev/beta build. The only thing I can't do is add transparency to the taskbar or have auto hide enabled. Not a huge deal to me conside

I received the same Beta channel update today and am not experiencing any new issues. Are you using start 11 version 1.21? Also, I have identified a few bugs as well that may help. Taksbar auto hide needs to be turned off, taskbar transparency will not work and should be off. The DEV/Beta channel build is still a work in progress and can still change on a weekly basis. I would not expect any third party support until Microsoft has it finished.

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="110" id="3846760"] I suspect finished means feature finished. There are still some big things missing from the builds. It would need to move to release preview channel at some point, perhaps thats Juneish [/quote] I think you are correct. Microsoft did call 22H2 their Fall update in their latest news feed so it seems clear that it will be released after summer at this point. My general opinion is that 22H2 was moved to the

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="108" id="3846757"] The version is 22H2. That's second half of 2022 so July onwards would be an expected release window with August/September/October being the most likely window. [/quote] Apologies it does appear I did miss read an article It is stating that 22H2 would be finished by May but then states that the release window is the end of June - September. But other sources is now stating that we should think about fall for t

[quote who="Markkhk" reply="106" id="3846723"] It seems to be auto hide toolbar that is causing it. If the toolbar is hidden swiping up displays the standard W11 start. Need to tap windows button to display Stardock menu [/quote] I can confirm that auto hide does not work on the dev/beta build. Auto hide will need to be turned off to run the beta build properly. 22H2 should release next month unless Microsoft delays. Fixes should come then.

I am on Windows 11, I have been a pretty early adapter myself. As for the volume mixer, right clicking actually is working for me. I am on a one screen setup so there is always that variable. One thing that I have seen in my time here is that sometimes new installs have trouble installing correctly over several older installs. One fix all has been to Uninstall start 11 reboot and then install the latest update again. It could fix it especially if a game is the cause.

[quote who="CHIEF6029" reply="6" id="3846600"] I don't know if it's the new software verson or the system restart but snipping tool behaved correctly for one screen capture, but I tried re launching it and now it is acting up again. Still broken. [/quote] I was able to reproduce this. For me it works probably 9 times out of 10 before it disappears.

In an attempt to separate release builds from beta builds Stardock has been putting their beta builds of start 11 under your "my downloads" link. There is a newer beta build that has addressed several critical bugs already. More information on the beta build can be found here https://forums.stardock.com/511466/page/1/#3846574

You can also just right click on the name of the fence you do not need the 3 lines. If the fence is at the top of your start menu, maybe try holding the left click on the name and drag it down a row or two then seeing if you can get delete to appear.

[quote who="rfreynolds" reply="14" id="3846326"] Yikes! Just got an update to 22H2 and TranslucentTB no longer works. To be more precise from 22H2 build 22581_release.220318-1623 to 22H2 build 22593_release.220402-1100 [/quote] So much for Microsoft having a beta channel. It sounds like instead they have a dev channel and also a second dev channel. We will just have to wait for the release before real fixes can come.

Also note that Beta downloads are only accessible to members you have paid for the product and are not available to those that are on a 30 day trial.

Enjoy.[/quote] This program does not work with beta / dev builds either. The advice that is given on the store page sounds identical to what Neil has said in comment #4.
