Update 1.2 broke Windows 11 style icon resizing. 

Before:


After:

Worth noting the change is not a bug, the previous behaviour was as it did not work correctly causing overlapping of text and icons.  Now custom images are sized the same as the icons in the Windows 11 menu.

But yes the registry key lets you opt back into the buggy behaviour.

After automatic checking on updates i got 11 1.2 installed.

After this update no start11 functionality anymore.  It seems that the windows startbutton is on top of the start 11 button.

Switching to beta1.22 had no effect. Even tried start10 again but the same issue. Did MS change anything in windows? (Win 11 21H2)

Edit (30 mins later) did an ather try with a clean install of 11 1.2 and it seems to work again as used to. Unfortunately all my customizations gone now.

Try resizing by right clicking on the group name and selecting "group icon size"

I myself have better luck resizing using that method

From what I know the All Programs list always only sort by alphabet. As for Universal Application there is no hide but you can set it to all inside one Folder : Refer to screenshot below.

Thanks Basj!  Just for awareness, here's a screen shot of Open-Shell on Windows 10 (10.0.19044) showing that the All Programs list (folder or shortcuts) does not need to always be alphabetized.  Also, the Universal Applications folder can be hidden from Start11's All Programs list by adding this registry value/data (this should be exposed in the Start11 settings app):

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8]
"HideMetroApps"="1"

It's just Start11 that is not capable of custom sorting the All Programs list, which makes it un-useful for me.

Did you have an earlier version of Start11 installed?

If so uninstall Start11, Reboot (important) and then reinstall Start11 1.2 again as it may be some files were not updated correctly.

Configuration:
Microsoft Surface Pro 7 8/256
ViewSonic 1080p (external) monitor
Microsoft Windows 11 Pro version 21H2 (OS Build 22000.613)

After installing update v1.2, rebooted, also tried switch off & on multiple times, start menu (mouse click or press Win key) not responding at all.

I've customized Start11 v1.1 menu for tablet use. I need a solution without erasing my setup. Will uninstall & reinstall v1.2 solve my problem?

Hi there 

I recently updated it and have a problem with it. I have a two-monitor setup and the taskbar on the second monitor is now empty unless I have an application opened and have the window of that application on my second monitor then it will show up on the taskbar otherwise the taskbar on my second monitor remains empty. How can I change it to show the complete taskbar on both displays?

It sounds like you have told Windows to only show windows on the main monitor and on the monitor the window is open on.

This can either be changed from Windows taskbar settings, or from Start11 by clicking on the taskbar page and then the more start11 taskbar settings button.

Ohh thanks for helping out and now it's fixed don't know how that happened but it's fixed now thanks!

With the release of Start11 1.22, we are closing this thread.

Thanks to all that took the time to provide feedback.
