Start button and Taskbar don't align center

from Stardock Forums

Hi, I install Start11 v2.11 and the Start button and Taskbar don't align center.

I restart the "Stardock Start11" service and "Explorer.exe" and nothing. I obviously also restarted the computer.

My Windows version: Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB - version 1607 (compilation 14393.7428), 32 bits (x86 processor).

PD: The other options work fine.

PD2: I tried version 1.55 and same problem, no align center.

Does anyone know what it could be?

Thanks.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Any reason you're not updating your Windows 10 version? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/release-information 

Also, make sure you choose the "Center aligned" option.

Thank you.

Yes, because my laptop processor is an Intel Atom Z2760 and the last Windows 10 version supported is 1607.

The LTSB 2016 version (1607) Extended Support End Date is Oct 13, 2026 (I still have support and updates available).

PD: Yes, align center option is selected, but don't work.

Please try purge and reinstall steps as mention here : [Link]. Just make sure to redownload the latest version from your account page. Reboot after the purge. Reinstall and reboot again after the installation. Retest and report back here.

Hi. I followed the steps, but unfortunately the same result. It stays aligned to the left, not the center.

Next please try Cleanboot to see if something is conflicting with Start11 and causing the issue. https://forums.stardock.com/505872/start11-support-faq#cleanboot. Do note that you will need to follow the instruction carefully.

Thank you,

My steps:

1. Create new Administrador account.

2. Log in the new account and install Start11 v2.11.

3. Restart and problem persists.

4. Performing a Clean Boot.

5. Restart and use the "StartStart10_11.bat" to start service in Clean Boot.

6. Review... and the problem persists.

Do you have a copy of the Start11v1 installer? If so, try installing that and see if it works. It looks like your Windows 10 version is not completely compatible with Start11v2. Quite a few changes have been made to Start11v2 recently to make it compatible with Windows 24H2 which may be the issue.

I just tried Start11 v1.55 (both normal and with Clean Boot) and same result, center alignment doesn't work.

Is there any way to try an older version or enable some kind of application log?

My guess would be that Start11, center aligned, is not compatible with your Windows version. Maybe someone else can figure it out, but I doubt anyone has that Windows version for testing. It is at least eight years old after all. The first Start11v1 beta was released around October of 2021 and Start11v2 was released around October of 2023.

It's a shame = (

They should add in the requirements that it is not compatible with this version of Windows, since it currently does not indicate it anywhere.

For now I will use another software (TaskbarX), but obviously it does not have the functionalities of Start11 (but at least the alignment does).

Thanks for the help.
