I also noticed i cannot change the start button icon.
If you are using Windowblinds, that would override that setting. You have to enable "Always use the OS start button" to change the start button in Windowblinds setting.

With Start11 v2.0:

1) The context menu is not readable

2) Icons added to the Task Bar are white and not operationable.

See attached clips.

This is happening on Windows 11 Pro 23H2 OS build 22631.2715. V2.0 was installed over V1. Then I uninstalled V2 and reinstalled it clean, the same thing is happening.

Best,  Richard

The improved start menu is great, but I can't figure out how to port (or include!) my groups from the native Windows 11 start menu into the start11 v2 start menu. Do I need to re-create everything? It would actually be neat to be able to include the native Windows 11 pinned items as a "folder" (similar to the Steam folder which seems to be there by default) so I can make it a tab or whatever. This would allow maintaining the windows 11 pinned items for use with the native menu if I ever need to switch back for some reason.

Also for the improved task bar, it'd be nice to have:

  • Ability to change the combine/split behaviour for individual applications
  • Ability to change whether individual applications show text (e.g. I don't need window labels for Messenger or Discord, but I do want to see the window titles for Edge)
  • Show window titles in the combined taskbar selector thing (when you hover over a combined icon)

I just purchased Start 11, Version 2.o and am unable to get the Windows Pro style option to open up. Is there something else that needs to be done to open all style options? I am using Windows 10 and up to date. Any response or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try this. Uninstall Start11, reboot immediately after. Download and the latest version 2.01 from your product account : https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products.  Choose the v2.01 [Beta] reboot again after install finish. Retest it and report back.

Thank you,

Issue with the S11 taskbar autohide (S11, not Windows'): click the "show hidden icons" arrow, click it again and now the taskbar won't autohide (unless you click somewhere).

Issue the menu: the "recently installed" section isn't updated. The normal Windows menu has new recently installed apps, but S11 menu doesn't update. The section is there (I have it enabled), but it doesn't update.
