Start11 Ver 1.25 button non-functional

from Stardock Forums

I am stumped!! I downloaded Windows 11 today & followed the instruction to upgrade Start 10 to 11 which I did.

Chose Start11 to function as Windows 7 

I then discovered the Start button does not respond at all to left click. After reading some posts I did the Purge & Reinstall twice -both without success.

Windows 11 Pro 10.0.22000 Build 22000 on a 2021 Dell XPS13 9305

Please help-I hate the Windows 11 interface.

Thanks guys

Richard

This could be caused by a known issue in Windows 11.

From Neowin.com July 23, 2022:

Microsoft issued an advisory regarding a problem that is causing the Start menu on certain Windows 11 PCs to not open. The company has determined that the KB5014668 update (Build 22000.778) and newer releases are affected. It writes:

After installing KB5014668 or later updates, we have received reports that a small number of devices might be unable to open the Start menu. On affected devices, clicking or selecting the Start button, or using the Windows key on your keyboard might have no effect.

The company has issued the following workaround as it has advised individuals and organizations to perform a Known Issue Rollback (KIR).

Hi Pelaird, that wasnt the issue as Win start button  worked fine before Start11  installed.

Hi Basj, that "clean boot" advice did the trick !! thanks so much.

Great to know, you was having main account issue or conflict with other application?
