How do I upgrade Start 11?

December 17, 2023 9:45:00 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Start11 V2.03 was announced on 11/21/23. I purchased a Object Desktop subscription on 11/25/23. Still, the Start11 version I was able to download and install is 1.47. I have been trying to check for updates from both the Start11 About section and Object Desktop. Both report that my software is up to date. I am trying to see if some of the bugs I have been noticing would go away with an update but I am unable to do so. How do I upgrade my Start11?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try look for Start11 v2 download link in your product account page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products. Something like screenshot below. 

Note: Product listing might differ between subscribers.

Thanks

Hello - Thank you for your response Basj. I found the individual download. Do I need to uninstall V1.47 before upgrading to V2.03? If so, will I lose all the folders I had created on the start menu in V1.47? TIA!

Actually, you don't need to uninstall v1 first, but to be safe, you can uninstall v1 first reboot, install v2, reboot again. No your old v1 setting should still be there. But, again just to be safe, use this guide to backup your setting : https://forums.stardock.com/505872/start11-support-faq#backUpSettings.

Thank you,

Thank you.

 

On a slightly unrelated topic, when I first installed Start11, there was an icon on my start menus that, when clicked, opened the native Windows start menu. Later on it just disappeared. Any ideas on how I can get it back? (It was more convenient than CTRL + Click to get the native start menu).

Yes, that was it. Thank you. The last time I searched for it, I was still on Version 1.47 and I don't recall finding this option even though I went through the configuration options from one end to the other. It's quite possible that I saw it and it still didn't register. This was it. Thank you.
