Just installed the update via the app update, and now all my Windows 10 icons have vanished  the panel is blank as in screenshot.

Where are these saved so I can restore as it's a pain to re-organise and remember what was there.

Even the Windows Menu icon is gone, how do I get that back so I can view the Windows 11 start menu. Do I have to add everything to the panel manually again and what will stop this happening at the next update, so can you send me instructions of how I can back this up, I'll take a screenshot too so I can re-org the way I want.

Installing an update should not have done anything to your existing layout however unless you uninstalled first and picked the option to delete your existing settings.

Hi! I get a

"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator."

error on both my PC's after this upgrade. Can you look into where the conflict lies?

Start11 version 1.1.0.1
Windows 11 Pro Version 21H2 (OS Build 22000.434)
Modern Style

Issue: For some reason, the network/sound menu is cropped and it spawns in the bottom part of the screen (same spawn issue with calendar/notification center)

The other possibility is your download is corrupted.

Windows gives messages like that with bad exes.

I have attempted to run Start11 since I purchased on 9/12/21 -- this issue has persisted through every iteration of this program.

I'm unsure where to find the event log. I will happily provide it if you can point me towards its location!

This worked! Thank you very much! Really love these new features!

I believe that feature is not yet available. As mentioned here : https://forums.stardock.com/509469/get;3833039. Enhance taskbar features will be added later on V1.2.

Thank you,

If I ever have to delete and reinstall the program, you never know, should I first install the older version and then the upgrade, or can I install only the lasted download (release).

Thanks Basj!

Can you add a function to the right click menu to rename an icon?

It seems tedious to remove an icon and create a new icon with the correct name.  Even if there is a different way to do this, it would be much better to simplify the process.

Thanks!

Are you using Stardock Curtains as there was a known issue that stopped it working which was addressed with a Curtains update, but there are no other known issues with the feature.

Thank you for reply!

I do use a VPN (Surfshark) but issue persists even when logged off. In the end I uninstalled Surfshark, disabled my Antivirus, and un+reinstalled Start11. But to no avail...

The error message shows up after every restart. I've used Start 10+11 for several years on multiple PC's, but this issue only showed itself with this update..

I'm not very familiar with Win-policies, but all of them looked unconfigured. Anyways, I tried to delete policies with CMD  RD /S /Q "%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicy" and  RD /S /Q "%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicyUsers"  with a subsequent restart. Unfortunately this didn't resolve the issue either.. 

It's not related to corrupt download. As this issue affects both my PC's and each was updated separately. 

Open for suggestions since I'm running out of ideas..    Hope Stardock can look into any changes in ver 1.1 that could cause this issue.
