Left windows key No Longer Brings Up Start11

Now It brings up the win 11 start menu.....

from Stardock Forums

latest version 1.44

Used to work fine all I remember doing was a search with start 11 menu open then since I use win 11 search since I like that better I now notice that start 11 no longer comes up with the left win key. Perhaps this is an issue with version 1.44 and I never noticed. Have double checked that windows key is set to open start11 and that hasn't been changed.

 

Hope this gets looked into.

Thanks!

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Have you tried Start11 V1.45 beta? https://forums.stardock.com/518875

Well installing the beta V1.45 seems to mostly fixed it. Its not as responsive as clicking the start button with mouse but it works.

Thanks!

It should be identical to clicking with a button.

No theirs a noticeable delay between fast clicking the button to open/close the menu and fast pressing the button. I can get almost 2x the menu open/close cycles with the mouse then pressing the key. Pinned tiles are also missing (then load in) much more often opening the menu when pressing the win key fast vs mouse.

Also a suggestion to add a option to ensure the entire menu is loaded at the cost of +0.25 secs or so to open the menu. When the menu opens and half of it is missing and slowly loads it feels kindof wack. This has always happened at times across all versions. In the 7 years of me using windows 10 I've only seen this once (using win 10 menu in start11). 

Thanks!
