Yo!

Another bug (?) have found with drag to open functionality, it does work with select set of apps only it seems, specifically, it does not work for Telegram desktop app and Google Chrome in my case, and most probably for some other apps as well. Please check the video I made about it: https://disk.yandex.ru/i/HZNGBZLK_iunSg

Also, drap to open does not work when you try to drag the graphical file saved in Google Chrome to File Explorer - Explorer does not open, while in Windows 10 before it was working like a charm.

Hopefully you'll fix it in the next release

Still major problems with the taskbar. Most of the time it doesn't auto un-hide. When it does there is a significant delay between the mouse over and the appearance of the taskbar. The taskbar is useless when set to appear at the top of the screen.

It seems to be auto hide toolbar that is causing it.  If the toolbar is  hidden swiping up displays the standard W11 start.  Need to tap windows button to display Stardock menu.

Where did you get the idea it was coming next month?

The version is 22H2.  That's second half of 2022 so July onwards would be an expected release window with August/September/October being the most likely window.

I suspect finished means feature finished.  There are still some big things missing from the builds.

It would need to move to release preview channel at some point, perhaps thats Juneish

Hello Since the update to Start 1.2, the options are a mixture of German (desired language) and English. Please localize the program properly.

Feature request:

Under Start Menu > Configuration > Quick access shortcuts > Shortcuts list > Add... > Standard locations, the options for Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos currently point to the respective libraries.

Can you provide an option to instead point directly to the folders in the current user profile (e.g. C:\Users\username\Music instead of Libraries\Music)?

This could be provided one of two ways:

1. Provide a single radio button that selects between user profile folders and library locations.
2. Add separate entries in the "Standard locations" list for the user profile folders and library locations.

Reasoning: Regardless of how you have folder views configured, Windows insists on showing a library-specific view when you're viewing a library folder. Even if it's the same logical location, I want the link to open the actual folder in my user profile so it uses my default view configuration.

Note: I'm aware that I can replicate this behavior by adding custom locations - but it doesn't show the proper icons if icon display is enabled.

I have Hibernate selected for the start button action, but it still shuts down instead and shows the shut down icon.

Also the "show icon on the shutdown button" doesn't seem to do anything. Very vaguely described.

In addition to my report about drag to open not working correctly for some programs. After some testing I've realized that this functionality is broken if the program to which you are trying to drop the file to open is already open. I.e. if you are trying to open the graphical file in Photoshop by dragging it to its representation in taskbar and Photoshop is minimized (its window is not open) - it will work, and it will work with any program I have tested which is in minimized mode. BUT - if the said Photoshop is open, i.e. its window is on desktop but under some other windows, like Chrome, and therefore it is not an active window - then this functionality by dragging file to its taskbar representation won't work. Please fix it, as it is extremely annoying

Hi I'm new user of Start 11.  I am running version 1.2 and the it reports it is "up to date".  The screenshots you use to advertise Start 11 clearly show a weather icon with a temperature display.

 

 

However mine has weather but does not show the temperature.  If I click the button the side panel opens and of course the weather shows the temperature, however I liked having it on the task bar like I did before installing Start 11.  How can I enable it?



 

Thanks,

 

Andy

I am afraid that icon is provided by Windows, we do not control what it shows and it will show the same with or without Start11 installed.

If you are not getting a temperature display then it may be the Microsoft weather feed isn't providing it at your location at the moment for some reason.

That's strange because before installing Start 11, it did show the temperature although admittedly it was next to the icon in text.
