Since installing windows update KB5066835, taskbar pins are really slow to load if they load at all. Sometimes after starting my computer I have to click on the task bar to get them to load, other times it takes a good minute or two for them to load after boot. This just started happening after installing KB5066835 (regular OS patch cadence), KB5066131 (.NET cumulative update) and KB5068331 (.NET security update for x64 client).

Windows 11 24H2 26100.6899

Start11 2.55

Dump of my settings for start 11:

It's workable at the moment, but I think the latest windows update did something that isn't playing well with start 11 or it was the .NET update if you're using .NET.

I was using Start 11 for a vertical taskbar on the left for a couple months but recently (past week+) it's continually crashing and restarting anytime I interact with it beyond clicking a taskbar item (to focus on a window).

Start button? Crashes

Right click to configure Start 11 with context menu? Crashes

Anyone have a clue? im on most recent version as of this post: 2.55

It's odd because I can us the taskbar and start menu, but when I click away it loses focus and crashes.

Yeah, I’ve been seeing similar things, had it crash twice on system boot yesterday. It’s the latest Windows updates I think. I’m going to try the beta start 11 later when I get a chance after work.

Can you update to the 2.56 beta please.

If that doesn't work we will give you some instructions to make a dmp file so we can investigate further as thats not normal.

  Hi,

  I just bought another license to install on my new Lenovo Yoga 9i Pro Aura edition and I run into a problem, I hope someone can help:

  • When no windows is opened, the search button and the System Trays Icons are smaller and shown below the pinned icons on the Task Bar
  • If any window is opened, the Search Button and the System Tray Icon disappear

  I am running Win 25H2 -- The resolution of the screen is 4K with 200% scaling.   I tried both versions 2.5.5 and the beta 2.5.6 to no avail
