Vertical Menu doesn't refresh after hitting last Virtual Desktop via keyboard shortcuts

from Stardock Forums

Windows Version Number: Windows 11 Pro 25H2 26200.9445
App Version: 2.8

Three monitors, three Desktops,  Start11 is docked vertically to the right side of first monitor (left to right).

If I switch Desktops using the mouse, Start11 'usually' refreshes to show what is running on that Desktop.

If I use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Windows Key + Right Arrow switch from Desktop 1 to Desktop 2, Start11 refreshes.

Ctrl + Windows Key + Left Arrow back to Desktop 1, Start11 refreshes.

** But if I get to Desktop 3 via keyboard shortcut, Start11 initially refreshes but then gets stuck. Switching to other Desktops after that, via keyboard shortcuts does not refresh the menu. It seems to get locked on that last displayed menu. Pressing the Windows Key causes it to refresh to whichever Desktop you are on, but it stays stuck there; it stops refreshing as you switch between Desktops, by keyboard shortcut. Until you press the Windows Key again, or move the mouse over an object on the menu (not a blank area, an object on it.)

Can we get that replicated and fixed? It's been around for a while.

Hello OhJames,

Thank you for your post.  Three things could help here.

1st: Basj has pointed you to the 2.81 beta on your Task Switcher thread.  Please try the beta version, as the two issues you've raised may share the same cause.

2nd: Could you please clarify exactly what you mean by Start11 getting stuck? I want to be sure we are discussing the right thing.  Is it the icons on the taskbar failing to update, or is something else staying on screen?  A screenshot of what you are seeing, along with a description of what you expected to see instead, would help greatly to clarify. 

3rd: In my test, Windows' Multitasking options appeared to affect the appearance of taskbar icons between virtual desktops.  

This can be found in Windows, please go to Settings > System > Multitasking > Desktops.  Then change On the taskbar, show all the open windows to Only on the desktop I'm using.  Does that change the behavior at all?  If you are already on that setting, please try toggling it to the other option and back.  Please let us know if this fixes this for you.

Best regards,
