I just update to 2.05.1 and have the same problem.  Can you tell me where to download the old beta 2.0.5 which was working fine on my computer.  Thank you

Old beta builds are not available I am afraid.

If the issue is causing you significant issues you can go back to the 2.03 release version until an updated beta is available.

We will be investigating this issue tomorrow to see if it can be reproduced here and if so resolved.

Hallo,

is it normal that the icons in the taskbar have a kind of square frame/ background, if the coursor drives over?

Using the beta v2.05.2

Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more on your system.

  1. Windows full version number. Use Winver.exe to get those.
  2. Do you have any other application running such as Windowblinds, Curtains, or any other application that change how your taskbar work/look.

Thanks

Hi

Possible bug and the steps to reproduce can be found below.

I power on my Surface which has no keyboard attached so is working in Touch Mode. I then remote desktop into it from another PC and the taskbar icons are not all aligned correctly, see screenshot below.

`Restart explorer` fixes the issue.

Happens every time from a cold boot and remote desktop into it.

I'm running:

Start11_2.0.5.2-j73

on

Windows 11 Pro

23H2

Build: 22631.3085

What setting is the option for touch screen taskbar detection set to on the Start11 taskbar page?

In your case it should be set to touch screen or automatic if it wasn't before.

I too just noticed that using 2.0.5.2. Was hoping this release fixed it.

I too have a constant moving Start Button.  This only happens when enabling the "center taskbar experimental".

It's like my Start Menu button has parkinson disease.
