Can You Customize the Start11 Power Options Button?

Hello,

From what I know, there is no such option within Start11 itself. However, I have forwarded your problem/question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience. Thank you.

See this thread with a solution if you are using the 2.6 beta version.

Hello and thank you for posting.

Yes!  Thank you much for compiling, pelaird.  It's a great help.  For additional reference, we've also set up a Help Center guide here for a full list of Registry Settings for the product:

Looks great!

Thanks! It looks like the full version coming after the current beta may be what I need.

Just to confirm, will this:

"Added registry key to hide all signout etc options from shutdown menu."

Do this:

Remove Sign-in options, Switch user and Sign out from Power Button

...leaving just Restart and Shutdown?

Yes.  Though, specific results may vary depending on other Windows settings or concurrent registry changes.  It's pretty easy to check any changes to find what you're looking for.  After making a change, you can use the Start Menu tab to switch the menu style to a different one, then back to the one you want.

Here's before and after images from my quick test of the one you asked about:  

Off (value set to 0):

On (value set 1):

Thanks for the insight. So quick question.

I actually tried adding your registry entry at the location in your screenshot with a 0 value, but it didn't change anything for me. But I see you're doing it from the Windows 11 style menu. I'm actually using the Windows Pro style.

Is there a similar registry entry I can add to target the sign-in removal options from the power button on that particular start menu style? Or do I need to wait for the next app update (where I assume this will be a feature in the program settings itself)?

But would be willing to give it a go manually in the registry if there is such a string I could include.

You should be using the data value of 1 to get the desired results.

Thanks! I think I tried that before, but I tried it again and took a screenshot.

Unless I'm missing something/doing it wrong, it doesn't look like that works for me (using the Windows Pro Style start menu layout). Sign-in options still persist with this active.

Open the config app and change the style, and then change it back. That should trigger the change.

Thanks, but it just won't stick for me. Even with that registry entry applied with a 1 value, I toggle it to Windows 11 and back to Windows Pro in (both in Start11 settings), and all three sign-in options come back. I even tried doing a restart between them as a second test. Anything else I can try or may be doing wrong?

One fundamental thing we may have missed for you, is checking the version of the app. 

Over the course of this thread, we've updated from beta to version 2.6 in release.  If it doesn't say 2.6 on your "About" tab of the application, you can click "Check now" to update to it.

Here's what I get. Windows 11 Pro - 26200.7628;   Start11v2 - 2.6.0.2

Using the windows pro style w/o Registry edit:

Using the windows pro style with Registry edit:

If you want to get rid of the Sleep option, go to:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FlyoutMenuSettings

and change the "ShowSleepOption" value to "0"

Success! So it looks like upgrading to the official 2.6 release did the trick. And because I already had the registry key active with a "1" value (or perhaps because the update did that anyway), all my sign-in options disappeared. And I didn't have to do anything to get rid of sleep, as I already had that disabled in Windows pre-install of Start11. So that's great, thanks for all the help!

One more follow-up question. I still don't see an option to change these settings in the actual configure/settings menu of the interface. Is this now (and always going to be) a registry edit only?

Time will tell. It’s certainly possible if it’s popular with users.

Didn’t realize you hadn’t installed the latest update to Start11. Glad you figured it out.

Fair enough. I don't mind the registry edit manually, just curious. But everything is exactly as I want it for now, so very happy. Thanks!
