Start10 keeps on wanting an update.

from Stardock Forums

Just did a fresh install of Windows 10 and installed Object Desktop manager, then installed Start 10, but now it keeps saying that there is an update for Start 10, the thing is it's always trying to update Start 10 from v1.9.7 to 1.9.7.  It goes through the download and installs but as soon as it supposedly finishes it says it needs a reboot to finish but has an update already to go again.  I then reboot but the same update is listed to be installed it's an endless loop of updating is there any way to get past this looping effect.

ok did all of that and Start 10 seems to be working ok, but by doing it that way it's not showing up in Object Desktop Manager so how do I now go about any updates for start 10?.

I believe there will be no more updates on Start10, since Start11 already out.

Thank you,

Why are you opting to install Start10 rather than Start11?

Because I'm running Windows 10 and not Windows 11.  Not released here in Australia yet, at least not on my system

The reason I am staying with Start10 is for the option in Style - Configure.

There it Shows the ability to Allocate room for at least ___ large icons.

I don't see this anywhere in Start11...

You know that Start11 run perfectly on Windows 10. yes? Also, you have an option to have Centered start button.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, was you referring to this option?

No basj, I didn't know.  I thought start 10 was for Win 10 and 11 was for Win 11, I guess we learn something new everyday.
