Start11 Taskbar Enhancement Makes Taskbar Unusable

from Stardock Forums

I updated to 2023-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5022913)

Main reason I use Start11 is so that I can make my taskbar into two rows, but can't even see most of the icons.

I am already on that version, no change.  Should I completely uninstall and re-install? I just upgraded from the normal latest version by running the beta installer, but I did not remove the old first.

It did improve things slightly.... I can at least see the applications listed now, but the tray icons are still showing below the edge of the screen, and the whole tray icon area doesn't wrap anymore when I have a double row taskbar.

The lack of wrapping is normal for that version of Windows.

The new Microsoft update you installed had a new tray area which no longer supports wrapping and icons will only show in a single line regardless of how many rows you have the taskbar.

That's fantastically irritating, not y'alls problem I know.  Still having the problem with that new version though where the tray icons are hot showing all the way, they are cut off.  I posted in the other thread with the details.
