Hey team,

I'm reporting these alignment issues in the taskbar after KB5022913. The clock area and search box are displayed outside the monitor.

Windows 11 Pro

Version 22H2

OS build 22621.1344

Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22639.1000.0

Start11 1.41

Taskbars on Top and displayed for both laptop and external monitor.

Issue occurs only on external monitor. Laptop monitor looks fine.

Buttons are set to never combined and appear correctly.

With explorer restart issue is corrected.

After computer restart, hibernate, or external monitor reconnected, issue returns.

Thanks for checking.

..and keep it up very happy with the product.

so i started my pc this morning. but forgot to do the screen dance (switch them off and start them after starting start11). it went funny as per previous posts.,. i rolled my eyes and walked away. came back a while later and it was all working again. so seems if you give it enough time to fight with explorer it actualy works  

I'm using 1.4.11. Windows Version 22651.1344. My Windows Button is centered (experimental), 2 Monitors.

Here come the issue:

Right click on the windows buttons opens the context menu always on the left site of the monitor and not above the button.

This behavior is since I had to switch from Version 1.39 because of the momentum 2 Update from Microsoft.

Noticing explorer.exe restart a number of times on startup, after restarting Windows 11 Home laptop (or sometimes after a shut down). Start11 eventually stabilises. Not sure what is causing this, but only noticed since updating.

How many monitors do you have and what exact version of Windows 11?

Also is there anything in the Windows eventlog?

One monitor.

Windows 11 22H2 (build 22621.1344).

I assume your comment is specifically about the experimental centre everything mode?

Rolling back a build wouldn't help as we had to change things for the newer taskbar, rolling back just brought back the issues we had to work around.  If you rolled back the optional Windows update you installed you would have been better off.

Out of interest what exactly is your monitor setup in terms of resolutions?

It is still something we are investigating as unfortunately changes in the OS restrict things a little more than before, one of the reasons that feature was marked as experimental as we knew OS changes might take it out entirely.

The native menu not working right when the taskbar has the searchbox enabled is addressed in the 1.42 beta linked to on the first page of this thread.

still similar issues. only now the startmenu and the taskbar have "solid" backgrounds but the rest of the taskbar is transparent (still the same non clickable / half the sys tray icons missing (like steam)) and no quicklaunch. 

Good morning,

Windows 11 2261.1344, Start11 v1.4.11

I would like to share my observations on the appearance of elements in start11.

I don't mean anything bad, but why does StartAllBack look better with the correct weather widget and a small scaled start menu button after applying a small taskbar?

I hope you will take this into account in future versions of the program

Start11:

StartAllBack:

In addition, there is a large gap between the start menu and the taskbar, and the distance of the start menu does not scale to the small taskbar:

Greetings.

Quoting CG-MA-15,

Sadly, I am having problems with the taskbar taking up about 25% of the bottom portion of the screen and icons are misaligned there as well.

A screen shot is below showing the problem.

HW/SW details:

Start11 Version: 1.41 (latest I believe) - re-downloaded and installed this AM.

Windows 11:Version: 22H2 (OS Build 2261.1265)

Hardware: Lenovo Yoga with a 4K touchscreen running at 3840x2160 resolution, scale factor of 200%

Tried uninstalling KB52022913 but problem remains.

Looked for beta version but could not find a link

Cannot use Start11 with these issues, any ideas?

 

It looks like you just accidentally dragged your taskbar to be multiple rows.

You can resize it down to one row by clicking on the edge of the taskbar and dragging down.  If you have locked the taskbar (check by right clicking the taskbar blank area) then unlock it first.
