I am afraid we had to remove the link as we cannot have links to our files as we do not control what they point to.  Whilst it might be what it says today, it could be changed in the future.

I have a feeling the 1.41 works because it doesn't support blur on the taskbar on the version of Windows you are using.

Your issue is especially odd as that looks like Windows thinks your taskbar needs to be able to work as a touch version so has added the space for the extra large one but this should only ever happen on the primary monitor.  Secondary monitors should never enable that.

Does the problem continue if you temporarily switch to a single monitor?

Also what is your hardware exactly?

Worse how?

Edition Windows 11 Pro

Version 22H2

Installed on ‎11/‎1/‎2022

OS build 22621.1702

Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22641.1000.0

RTX 3050 laptop graphic card

Start11 1.44

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.

 

Which monitor is set to be primary?

The external one is main display.

The start button and tray icons are misaligned even more when the computer wakes up from sleep.

Hi I have

windows 11 Home

22H2 build 22621.1702

Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22641.1000.0

Start 11 version 1.44

For me, transparency effects are working on the task bar but not on the WIndows Menu.

I am using Win 10 style.

Automatic colour is off.

Transparency effects are set to 85%

Custom menu background is off.

I am posting the screenshot I posted earlier for 1.4.4. It's the same for 1.4.5 but the start button and tray icons are even higher up on 1.4.5(or at least they appear to be, it's hard to tell).

I can't take a screenshot for 1.4.5 now as I am working on this computer but it's exactly the same behavior as 1.4.4.

This happens only when the computer wakes up from sleep and apparently only on my primary monitor(the GPU chooses monitor priority depending on which display port you connect to.). If I turn off my primary monitor and use my secondary monitor, this issue does not happen.

If I turn off and disconnect the secondary monitor and only use my primary this issue happens every time my PC wakes up from sleep.

Both monitors run on 1920x1080 rez, primary on 144hz, secondary on 60hz. 100% scale.

I am using small taskbar. I also had this problem in the past after MS updated their UI but for 1.4.3 things where stable. If there are no relevant changes between 1.4.3, 1.4.4 and 1.4.5 maybe Microsoft did some changes in the latest updates. I'm currently running on build 22621.1702 (up to date updates, regular win build not insider or canary builds)

I get the following menu background inconsistently,



Why the oblique arrow and question marks?

This doesn't happen every boot.  Don't know why it occurs.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Try this, uninstall Start11, reboot immediately after uninstall. Re-download Start11 from your account page. Reinstall it. Reboot and retest. Report back.

Thanks

I went back to 1.4.2. Problem solved.

At startup, the taskbar icons on the right are offset downward (see above).  The Start11 software is configured to center the icons vertically.  Switching the taskbar  Auto Hide feature on and off (in Windows Settings) corrects the problem, but only until the next restart. The current Windows 11 Home build is 22621.1702.

Start11_1.4.5.0-j307 fixes the issue
