Please uninstall V1.2, reboot and reinstall V1.22 Beta and see if the problem still there. Get the latest beta from your account product page.

Thank you,

Is the clock there if you uninstall Start11 and reboot without reinstalling Start11?

No go. First screen shot is after uninstalling and rebooting. The taskbar is messed up and the start menu does not even work.

The second screen shot is from installing Beta and rebooting. Still no clock.

I had mentioned in another post that the Start 11 taskbar does not revert to Windows 11 default on uninstall. This is also kind of dissapointing.

I have a feeling I know whats wrong but it isn't Start11.

It looks like you have installed another tool or changed a registry key to try to restore the Windows 10 taskbar on Windows 11.  This isn't something Start11 did as it has its own taskbar replacement which does not rely on that method and never has.

Side effects of that are often a broken start menu and a missing clock.

This will continue to be broken like that without Start11 because Start11 didn't make those changes in the first place.  You will need to undo whatever you did (or another app did) before Windows 11 or Start11 will work correctly.

You can tell thats the Win10 taskbar as the start button and the two icons next to it are incorrect and running apps have a long underline under them.

The only add on I have is Start 11 and Fences, I have no other theming tools at all.

Something on your computer has modified something.  That is not the usual Windows 11 taskbar and Start11 isn't the cause of that.

Ok, you are right. There are plenty of articles on Windows 11 taskbar issues.  Posting this here to help someone else. Apparently some Windows 11 update(s) messes with the taskbar and turns off the clock.
