Start11-update also installed ModernMix

This morning, an update for Start 11 v2.05 also installed an application called 'Stardock ModernMix' on my laptop.

What's up with that? I don't have a license for ModernMix and I have never had it on my laptop before.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. That is strange, never read any other report similar to yours. How do you do Start11 update? By going to your account page and downloading the latest version? or you have other application doing updates for you?

Thank you.

Start11 told me that an update was available and asked if I wanted to install it and I clicked 'yes'.

What was Start11 version you updated from and to what version installed?

It now installed v2.05, I don't know the exact previous version, but it must have been very close to 2.05 because I always install updates whenever they become available.

I try the update and did not see Modernmix get installed. Not sure why it happen on yours. And don't see anyone else reporting something similar yet. If ModernMix get installed, just uninstall it.

Thank you,

Don't worry it has not actually installed ModernMix, it has just made a bad shortcut which is incorrectly named.

This will be resolved in the next update, sorry about that.

Hi Neil, basj and Nathan6478

I suspect Nathan as well had some shorcuts modified as I've posted here: https://forums.stardock.com/525826/page/1/#3919925

Kindly take a look at them as seems like some of the shorcuts are incorrect, as one of them is pointing to "Start11_A64.exe" which is an invalid app that can't be run if I click the shorcut named "Stardock Start11". When I click on it it says "This app can't run on your PC". Screenshot below:

I also copy here a screenshot of the associated shorcuts that might need to be generated again in the next update:
