Start 11 misaligned SOLVED UPDATE

from WinCustomize Forums

Seems if I have several windows open at a time, the Start menu, which should be centered is slight left adjusted.  Seems to start after opening the eighth window.  It gets worse with each additional app window, moving further left.  I only have a single monitor.  I can't tell if it's app or only window specific but I believe it's just the number of windows.

Edition Windows 11 Home

Version 22H2

Installed on ‎9/‎26/‎2022

OS build 22621.1992

Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22644.1000.0

 

The fix is to turn on the option "Do not offset the menu horizontally to ensure it lines up with the Start button".

This is normal behavior, I believe.  More icons on taskbar makes each end move.  Start button moves left, right most icon moves more right.

It's the number of icons on the taskbar.

RND is correct, even when i use Start 11 or StartAllBack, the same things happens for the same reasons. When i need to take a screenshot for Uploading to Desktop Screenshots of the month, i do it before i open loads of apps and windows tabs, that way it does look like it is full Centre. This is not a fault in any of the programs you use, just normal behaviour depending on how many icons are on the taskbar.

It's not normal behavior for the standard Windows 11 Start Menu.  That stays centered regardless of the number of windows opened.  In fact, I can toggle between Start 11 and the Windows Start Menu and see it toggle left and centered.

I am assuming you are talking about using the Center Aligned function in Start11? The location where the menu opens is in relation to where the Start button it, S11 function is more logical to us than default Windows always opening in the center.   Why would want to have to mouse back to the center of the screen for the start menu when your taskbar is like this:

If that's the way Start 11 is designed to work, that is fine.  I never noticed that behavior in the past.

There is a setting in Start11 to use the odd Windows way if you wish.  It is with the option to disable animations and offsets from the taskbar.
