I agree that the little lines are difficult to click on to change pages, especially if you are in a hurry. 

While that would be nice to be able to use Ctrl-arrow to move between the pages I usually am accessing the Start menu with a mouse. I don't really care for processes where I have to switch from the mouse to the keyboard and then back to the mouse just to click an icon to launch an app.

Would like to see something better (bigger) than the little page lines that the mouse could click on.

I am assuming you don't have buttons 4/5 on your mouse either.

So you are looking for larger lines?  The hit spots are larger than the drawn line if that helps.

I do have buttons 4 and 5 for sure, but for the sake of others, would left and right mousewheel clicks for those that have 2D wheels be an option or does that conflict with previously assigned functions on the Start Menu?

Win11 22000.282. Using Grid Modern Style. I have the pinned apps, then a separator line, then most frequently used apps. Don't know if this has been reported yet, but the frequently used apps does not seem to get updated. For example from All Programs menu I start Calculator 10 times in a row, and it never appears in the frequently used apps. Thanks

Edition Windows 11 Home

Version 21H2

Installed on ‎22/‎10/‎2021

OS build 22000.282

Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.282.0

Using Windows 7 style.

Finally got the chance to upgrade to Win11 through Windows update, which was surprisingly easy.

Still have the issue of the bar separating pinned items not showing up until you mouse over the menu.

I using light mode in Win11 and a dark colour for the task bar.  Because I'm using a light mode windows automatically makes the Corner icons black, which is hard to see on a dark colour.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try this setting Custom mode with dark mode but light app.

That fixed it, but the popup menu is dark. There needs to be a setting to set menu dark mod and light mod for the corner icons menu.

Which popup menu and which corner icons menu? Screenshot will help show us.

Thank you,

Sorry, same as in previous post with the right corner menu.

 

 

I would like a way to keep the time etc white and the popup menu light too.  At the moment it seems setting Windows mode to dark and app mode to light is the best way.

Edition Windows 11 Home

Version 21H2 (OS build 22000.282)

Start11 version 0.91, Windows 10 Style

Issue:

The start menu pop-up when using the mouse to click the start button will often times automatically close itself. It takes a couple of tries to have the start menu pop-up stay open. Below is a gif demonstration of the issue.

One thing to note is that using touch to press the start button however, doesn't have this automatic closing issue.

Right click Vivaldi icon in the Start 11 All Apps section. I am using the Windows 10 Menu. I have attached a photo of what comes up when I right click on the Vivaldi app icon.

Out of interest what does it show if you right click on it from the taskbar?

Right Click on Vivaldi from Taskbar.

Running Windows 10 Pro latest. Found a bug with Windows 11 style Start Menu

Set Windows 11 style.

Press Windows key -> Windows 11 Start Menu (Does it really look that awful or Have I got it wrongly set up?)
Press Windows key again - correctly goes back to the Windows desktop.

PROBLEM:
Again, press Windows key -> Windows 11 Start Menu
Go to All Apps.
Now the Windows key does not work.
Click 'back' a few times (it does not work 1st time)
Then it greys out and crashes back into Windows 10 desktop (phew!).

I've discovered that it works better if the Windows 11 Start Menu is not full screen.
From All Apps, initially the back button does work but when I pinned something to Start 11 it crashed back to the Windows 10 desktop.

All my taskbar corner (system tray) icons disappear except the network connection/speaker one. Moving the mouse cursor over top of where the icons would be makes them appear again. This happens after I unlock the computer after screen put to sleep (perhaps other times, this is all I noticed). The only setting I have on in Start11 is turning the taskbar to completely transparent.
