Control-Escape Problem in Start11

Wrong Menu

Control Escape is opening the Windows menu rather than Start11 version.

I'm trying to map a mouse button to open the Start11 menu and can't map the Windows key. Is there a setting somewhere to fix this? Or is there a command line that opens the Start11 Start Menu?

Thanks

Gordon

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. You on Start11 version no?

Thanks

Try this, uninstall Start11, reboot immediately after uninstall finished (important). Download and reinstall V1.45 (non beta). Reboot again after install finished. Retest it and report back.

Thank you,

No change. Ctrl-Esc still opens the standard Start Menu.

I even deleted settings during the uninstall, no change.

Need to know your Windows 11 full version number. Use Winver.exe. Also, you on tablet mode?

Look like you have an insider preview version. Do know that Stardock does not support Windows insider preview build. However, we appreciate your report.

This is something we will keep an eye on as this beta build of Windows  becomes closer to release

I have the same issue on a fresh install of Windows 11, ctrl-escape is bringing up the original start menu, not Start11.

The solution is to use the Win key to open the start menu.

The options in Start11 are for the Win key only and changes in the Windows 11 OS recently alter how we have to handle that key.
