"Run as Other User" option missing

from Stardock Forums

Something that went away when I enable Start11 is the Shift+Click option to "Run as other user" for pinned to taskbar shortcuts. Is there any way to restore that without disabling Start11 taskbar support entirely?

Sorry to hear you are having issues. You on Windows 10 or 11? If Win10 it still work. "Hold Shift key">Right click on taskbar icon->Select "Run as different user". But if Win11. There is an extra Steps: Right click on taskbar icon> "Hold Shift key">Right click on app icon appear on the popup menu >Select "Run as different user" refer screenshot below.

I'm trying these steps, but can't show the run as different user option from taskbar, I'm using Windows 11.

Really can't think of buying a license, if I can't figure this out, at least update us if the dev team is considering to implement this option, I saw a thread over 1 year old and there hasn't been any update about this feature. It's essential for IT administrators.

This is my screen, I'm running Windows 11 enterprise 22H2  22621.2506 and latest version of Start 11.

 

Just to clarify, what do you mean with taskbar icon?

  1. Right click on Edge taskbar button.-> The first popup menu appear.
  2. "Hold Shift key" and Right click again but this time on app icon appear on the first popup menu.
  3. A second menu will open with "Run as different user"

Thank you,
