Windows Tools Directory?

July 25, 2023 6:08:04 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Using Start11, in Windows7 mode.  What directory does the "Windows Tools" point to.  It appears empty on my menu though I have all the tool icons in a "Windows Tools" directory.  Can this be configured to what directory this should point to?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more on your system, please refer here: https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1387003915/Contacting+Stardock+About+Start+Product+Issues.

On my Windows 11 system. I see it and it open up something like screenshot below.

Try  this, go to your control panel and Open up Windows Tools, does it list anything there?

Thanks

Yes I do see all the apps when I go to the Control Panel and click on Windows Tools.  Just do not see anything from my Start Menu?  Will take a look at creating the system log should I contact support.

First, try this, uninstall Start11, reboot immediately after (important) re-download the latest V1.47 Beta. Install that version, reboot again. Retest and report back.

Thank you,

Did what you said.  Now the "Windows Tools" directory on my start menu has disappeared.  Maybe that was a garbage entry that some how got added.  Though on my system I have a "Windows Tools" directory where I put all the Microsoft System Tools, and Administrative tools they publish in Windows.

Also noticed a change from my initial screenshot where I had a "Universal Applications" directory, it is now called "Modern UI Applications".  Is this a change that Start11 made or is this configurable?

Thanks for your help.

If you wish to re-add "Windows Tools" you can do so, refer screenshot below.

Not too sure about the "Modern UI Applications" part. I don't see it on my system. Can you post a screenshot on it.

Thank you,

When I reinstalled Start11, these were the default Quick Access shortcuts.  I was able to customize them how I wanted, and got everything working.  Probably didn't need to reinstall, I think this is the configuration I was missing what you showed me.  Thanks for the help.
