Start 11 crashes when using search to find programs

I have used Start 11 for a while, past few days Start 11 has crashed when I perform a search for a program, for example type services in the search bar, Start 11 crashes, pauses, restarts and it will work fine until I do a few more searches and wham it will crash again.

Anyone else seeing similar have any insight?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need more information on your system.

Windows 10 or 11? And its version numbers.
Start11 version number.
Post a screenshot of you Start11 Search area. Something like screenshot below.

Thanks

For my part, I'm running Windows 11. I bought Start11 and Object Desktop, because I need the the ability organize my Start Menu like we could with the built-in Windows 10 menu, and Windows 11 has taken that away. Start 11 would be a great solution for this... if it worked.

Basj, seems there are several of us reporting frequent crashes with Start11, with no feedback or progress on a fix. I've provided you details from Event viewer in my latest update. Where does this stand? Looks like Start11 maybe shouldn't have been released yet -- too buggy, crashes constantly.

Are you having crashing issue while searching too? Like the OP mentioned here?

Thank you,

If you are having crashing issues with Start11, are you using the 1.11 or 1.11.1 betas as they changed how Search worked so any issues wouldn't cause explorer restarts as long as you are using Start11 style search.

Here is the info plus my available memory in case that helps.

Like Kliebor, I'm also on version 1.1 (not 1.11 or 1.11.1).

I just installed 1.11 and it reduced my crashing problem, but still crashes if I open a folder set to show as Menu instead of Link in the Start 11 configuration, and then close it. Other crashes seem to have gone away with 1.11.
