Menu Appears Then Immediately Minimizes

Windows 10 menu type

September 22, 2022 10:34:26 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Not always, but with alarming frequency, the Start11 menu which I am using in Windows 10 mode, will appear, then immediately minimize back down when I click the Windows Logo.  I then have to repeatedly click and go through this behavior until it finally sticks open.  Sometimes long clicking seems to help it stick?  Not really sure about that.

Is there a fix?  If not, is it being worked on?  When is the expected resolution update coming out.

Thank you!

Sorry.  Thought you were only asking about Start11.

Windows:  10.0.22000 Build 22000

No windows updates (e.g., 22H2) are available at this time.

WOW!  After installing and restarting my computer fully 2/3rd of the icons I had on my Start11 menu have gone missing?  Were you expecting this?  Has this ever happened?

And it would appear that, for programs that had previously been pinned to the Start11 menu, now they cannot.

Which apps in particular have gone missing?

Are you able to export the contents of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\GroupContents if you were using a Win10 style menu or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\GroupContents11 if you were using a Win11 style menu and host the file somewhere and send me a private message with a link to it please along with information on which ones went missing.

Many thanks.

Please update to the 1.27 Beta to address this issue

I have installed this update and restarted the computer.  All of my icons are still missing.  I am however, able to add things back.  So I guess it's now down to me to recreate the former menu I had before the beta wiped it out?  Or is there a way back?

You will now need to rebuild your menu , but this time you can back up your settings

to a safe place incase you need them again LINK https://forums.stardock.com/505872/start11-support-faq#backUpSettings
