Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But may I know what application you use to have those icons on top middle screen? Also need to know

1. Windows 10 or 11 version?
2. Start11 version.

Thanks

Not sure on this since ObjectDock is not compatible with Windows 11 and ObjectDock also has build in function to display Start menu. As a test, try to disable ObjectDock and see if you have the same issue.

Thank you,

Please try purge and reinstall steps as mentioned here: [link]. Just make sure to redownload the latest version from your account. Reboot after the purged. Reinstall, and Reboot again after the installation. Retest it. Report back here.

Are you using start 11 version 1.22? https://forums.stardock.com/511755/page/1/#3848063

Also are you on regular Windows 11 or the insider beta/dev version?

Are you still using objectdock?

Removed or stopped?

Of the small number of reports we have had of this ObjectDock is running in 95% of cases.

Given that product doesn't work right on Windows 10 let alone Windows 11 it really should be removed entirely.
