Start 11.1 is Preventing Pre-Launching of startup apps @ lock screen

from Stardock Forums

 First, I really like Start 11.1 – nice and useful futures!

 

However right after installing it on Windows 11 all my startup apps that were pre-launching at lock screen before (prior to logging-in into OS) now don’t. Also, lock screen although does display Windows spotlight image but apps that were showing at the lock screen (ex. Calendar) do not anymore. Resetting Lock Screen Personalization has no impact. Any suggestions?

Thank you for such a quick response.

I did exactly what you suggested and:

  1. After purging I restarted my PC – pre-launching of startup apps did now work.
  2. Immediately after the second restart – all startup apps pre-launched at lock screen without any problem.
  3. I installed the newest version of Start 11 and did not make any changes to the settings. Immediately restarted PC.
  4. At the lock screen again startup apps did not pre-launch.

I have to report the same problem, with previous version and the latest (1.1) on Win10.
Fact is, i keep Start11 disabled for this very reason.
Start10 was working perfectly.

We may have a fix for this with the next update.
