Start11

That's odd because it's working well for me. In fact I haven't seen most of the issues that's been reported.

There are a couple of known bugs when using version 22581.1. Things like transparency and certain textures wont work. There are also a few more bugs all due to the changes in the Beta build's taskbar. Since it is a beta build, fix's will take a bit longer then what you would expect for a release build.

Just installed Win 11 22H2 update...

Edition    Windows 11 Home
Version    22H2
Installed on    ‎9/‎20/‎2022
OS build    22621.521
Experience    Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22634.1000.0

Taskbar positioning no longer work (align to top). Tried uninstalling / reinstalling / restart explorer for Start11 and that did nothing to help.

Hope this is resolved soon - dazed, confused, and experiencing  withdrawal symptoms from Win 10 : ( .

Hello,
I have forward your problem/question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience.

What version of Start11 are you installing?

It's Version 1.25.

Are you using an autohide taskbar?

Those are only supported when positioned to the bottom.

Prior to the update to 22H2 I had Start11 working pretty well with the taskbar on the top and autohide on. It occasionally had glitches like 1) having windows on top of the taskbar when accessing it, 2) not always unhiding when pointer touched it and 3) not always positioned properly (taskbar did not always touch the top of the screen but showed up a centimeter below it with the icons repositioned and window's menu button missing (BTW - restart explorer fixed this).

I could live with these thing (annoying, but not a show stopper) since they were intermittent issues or had workarounds. Have faith in stardock for resolution as the star11 matured (understand these are "growing pains").

Also WIn 11 is a moving target as well - still evolving...

Looks like with 22H2 there is a new feature when dragging a window to the top:

It allows you to take a window and reposition it on your desktop...

This may be a showstopper for having a taskbar also on the top....

Curse Microsoft for making me change how I used to do things before Win 11.......hopeful that Start11 will make Win 11 for configurable.
