Forgot to mention: I did reboot.
1. Depressing the Windows key does not work either
2. Not using a custom start button image
3. I have not set the start button centered or left-aligned
4. Mouse
5. 2 monitors, the taskbar is only used on the main monitor

I don't know what you mean by an AV Package

This screenshot is curious.  There is supposed to be a slider to the right hand side of those on/off labels.  Have you ever had a slider there in previous versions?

You mentioned earlier that I should have sliders next to the features I am enabling/disabling. And yes they were present before and now they are not. 

I was finally able to get Start11 to work by turning "Let Start11 enhance the taskbar" 

I had to click to the right of "On" where the slider would normally be. I kept trying by clicking on the word "On"

Now that it is "Off", it is working as expected and it still looks the same as where it was before the update.

Any ideas??

Two monitors, don't run DisplayFusion. Taskbar on the main monitor only

Start11 v1.2 with enhanced taskbar enabled is defective.  Enabled removes all the taskbar icons but lets me resize the taskbar.  Disable the enhanced feature and the taskbar icons reappear but no resize functionality.  Except for the menu itself v1.2 offers no relief for the taskbar over Windows 11 control.  DisplayFusion Pro does not interfere with Start11.

Another detail that might help.

The start button reacts with an animation to a mouse click so i doubt that the issue has anything to do with a misplaced or hidden start icon, which in turn would not allow me to click on it
