I have Start11 1.24 on windows 11 home, and have chosen the windows 10 layout.
Almost always (but not every time) when I click on the start button the window opens and then instantly closes. I have to click it a second time in order for it to open properly and be useable.
Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. What version of Windows 11 you have on? Please use Winver.exe to get Windows full version numbers.
Thanks

Check out this thread and see if it helps.
I have some more information:
I have "Activate a window by hovering over it with the mouse" set. I think the start button is being treated as a window.
I have noticed that the button operates normally if I hover the mouse over it for a second or two before I click on it. If I move the mouse to the button and click immediately then it opens and then shuts again.
I think what is happening is that when I move the mouse quickly the previous active window remains active during the time I click on the power button. I don't know if this makes sense.
Having to hover the mouse first obviously slows down one's rate of work.
Yes this is the issue. Curiously, however, it wasn't a problem before I installed Start11.
If I disable Start11 the problem goes away.
Is it likely that the issue will be fixed?
Please try purge and reinstall steps as mention here : [Link]. Just make sure to redownload the latest version from your account page. Reboot after the purge. Reinstall and reboot again after the installation. Retest and report back here.
Thank you,

Next, try Cleanboot : https://forums.stardock.com/505872/start11-support-faq#cleanboot

Sorry for the delay.
I did the cleanboot and the problem still remained.
