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

  1. Windows 10 or 11? Also need its full version and OS Build number. Please use Winver.exe to get these numbers.
  2. Start11 Enhance taskbar turn on or off?

Thank you,

Hi, Thanks for your response.

Start11 Enhance taskbar is off.

I believe you will need to turn on Start11 enhance taskbar for the top taskbar to work properly. Have you try turning it on?

Thank you,

Still same thing. And it adds the open windows text. Probably a way to configure that but still same problem sorta.

Clicking in search with that turned on opens a window now though.

I believe that is expected behavior, you can now search, no?

Well I could still search before but couldn't see what I typed.

Thanks for the help.

Think I'll just live with the taskbar at the bottom of my screen.

Update... Well latest update fixed me not seeing the search. But if I have my taskbar icons centered, it forces the window to the left of screen now. It appears as expected if I left align the taskbar icons but messes up when centered. Maybe they can work that into their next fix if you can pass that on. Thanks.

Taskbar Start11 Enhance turn on? If not, please try again with Start11 Taskbar Enhance turn on. Try that and report back.

Ok, now with enhanced on it's appearing a bit more as expected. Only thing I notice now is the "search" disappears in taskbar when a top versus at bottom. But I get the search box in opening window. Maybe this is a setting I can change? I'll have to dig arounf.

The no search box is normal.  This is due to how Windows handles that as it expects to be at the bottom of the screen,
