Known Issues 

• Clients that purchased the Start11 5 pack do not have the 'Beta' download link.  While we work on getting that fixed, you can use this link to get it:

What can I tell you guys... It's my experience... I downloaded this software, installed it and started testing it to see if the value of it is real, well I have reported a problem on the right forum for that version, https://forums.stardock.com/507918/get;3824337, on Oct 31, 2021 18:35:33, but no one responded, not even the forum works right, because the images I posted, one just disappeared and when I try to edit the post, using the "edit button" nothing happens. So I can just say that a software that had a starting value of $5 and is now increasing every day, the day I published the above post it was already costing $29.99 today for example $35.99, and it doesn't respond to yours pre-clients and from what I saw, it also doesn't answer to who paid, as there are many posts on the forum without any response, for me it doesn't have this value, not even the initial one.

So just uninstalling... and good luck to you... 

PS: I try to update, and everytime I try, since v0,96 it doesn't update just report that I had the lastest version...wtf...

We have been unable to reproduce the problem you reported.  The menu will automatically reposition itself to fit in all tests here.

You can be sure we do read all the posts even if we sometimes don't reply to them all.

Given your issue with updating, I would suggest uninstalling, REBOOTING, and then downloading the 1.01 installer directly from your account and installing that.

Be aware that the check for updates button in Start11 will not see Beta versions, only released versions, so it would be correct for it to say you have the latest version if you are using 1.0 as 1.01 is a beta.

I can report that I am able to download the Beta version from the link provided here

I like that they are separated the way they are between Beta and release, I think that was handled well.

I will now test start 11 report back if I find issues. I can tell that the fps animations are a lot better right off that bat.

Edit:

In windows 10 style, use a more faded background for tiles is not making any noticeable changes for me.

It is open for me as I am not a object desktop user myself. The link works fine for me as long as I am logged in under the email I bought start 11 from originally. There is both a download option and a download beta option listed

That could be it. I have the single license that I purchased in the original Beta release. That either means I have a Beta License or they simply just forgot to plug the 5 - license version into the system. I am sure someone will be around to clarify soon

I'm on version 1.0 and the About screen does not offer an update to 1.01.

Usiing Windows 11 on Surface Pro 8.

The about screen will not offer beta updates.  You have to go to your products page to download beta updates.

Got it now, thanks.

Thtat does seem to be the reason - the 5 pack is not showing the Beta link.  Ill have to look into getting that fixed.

In the meantime, I have posted a link to the beta in the 'Known issues' section of this thread.

Sorry for the trouble.

I created the first issue by running 'as an administrator' an elevated command prompt tile (i.e. it was already set to run as administrator). Don't know if this helps.

Quoting johnsutter71,

And you still haven't fixed this issue. Even though it was one of the earliest bugs reported with the last version.

This issue should have been resolved in the 1.01 update.

Can you uninstall 1.01, reboot and then reinstall and see if that helps please.
