Start11 - Start Menu not updating

March 2, 2022 7:05:33 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I recently purchased and installed Start11. When choosing a start menu option within the application, the start menu on Windows 11 doesn't update. Other options appear to work (moving the start button to the far left, as an example). I do have the "Use the Start11 Start Menu" enabled, but it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions? Thank you

It could be bad install. The first thing I would try is a purge and re install

You can see how to do this here

PhoenixRising1,

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the reinstall, following the directions at the link you posted. Unfortunately, no difference.

Thank you,

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more on your system.

  1. Windows 7,8,10 or 11? And its full version numbers. Use Windows own "Winver.exe" will give you the full version numbers.
  2. Start11 version?
  3. CPU type, Intel, AMD or ARM?

Thanks

Basj,

Just to add another question to the list Basj gave.

Do you have use any programs that alter the taskbar? I have seen some 3rd party taskbars conflict with start 11.

Windows 11 Pro, Version 21H2, Build 22000.493)

Start11 version: 1.11, installed via the Object Desktop app

CPU Type: ARM (MacBook Pro,  M1 Pro CPU)

I have no other apps altering the taskbar.

I have received the message "Program Compatibility Assistant. This app can't run on this device. Stardock Start10, Stardock Corporation. This app can't run because it causes security or performance issues on Windows. A new version may be available. Check with your software provider for an updated version that runs on this version of Windows."

Unfortunately start 11 is not compatible with arm processors at this time.

Ahh... That would be a reason! Thank you all for the troubleshooting steps. Hopefully an ARM compatible version is in the works.
