Win 11 Style - Occasional Freeze

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

Using Win 11 Style,  5 rows, 11 columns, occasionally the panel will just freeze. So that, clicking the Win key neither closes or opens the panel - it just STAYS open, covering most of the screen.

Sadly, it often happens when I'm trying to SHOW somebody a file, or discussing what's on my screen.  Needless to say, that's an inconvenience because it covers most of the screen and leave me frantically clicking around.

What do you think is happening?

Sincerely,

Trigo

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Do you have any other application installed other that Start11 that deal with Startpanel and/or taskbar.

Thanks

Hi Basj,

None that I can think of.  Are there any settings I can change overall that may increase performance?  Bells and whistles that may be on by default but that are not critical?

Before I was using Win 7 and we turned off animations - that helped.  Anything like that for Win 11?

Sincerely,

Trigo

Hi Basj,

Ah! YES!  To our company's intranet.  And, there were a few others that perhaps needlessly poll the PC itself internally - maybe?  Deleted now.  Fingers crossed.  I'll post results.  THANK YOU for the GOOD ADVICE! :D

Sincerely,
