Thanks very much for the response and for the link.  The app itself doesn't give much direction for finding help. 

I'm on Windows 11, version 22H2 (OS Build 22621-2428)

I have no other 3rd party applications installed that affect Windows performance or appearance, definitely nothing like ExplorerPatcher or StartAllBack. The problem usually happens after unlocking Windows or after I close out of a game (World of Warcraft, Ghostwire Tokyo).  If I use the "restart Explorer" button in Start11, it corrects the problem until I do those things again.

I have Start11 configured as follows:  Win10 style, taskbar enhancement on, never combine buttons, do not show seconds on clock, 100% solid (no transparency), left-aligned start button with replaced icon.

There are a ton of customization in Start11 but I believe most of what I have is default.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

Out of curiosity, if you install the trial for Start11 v2, reboot, do you still see the issue?

I saw this same issue just now and have never seen it before updating to the start11 v2. It was off by about 30 minutes and then I went to windows settings to see what it said there and it was correct. When I looked at the taskbar again, it had updated to the right time. 

I'm on windows 11 pro, Version 22H2 (0S Build 22621.2506)

I'm using modern style with icons, taskbar buttons always combined, both blur the wallpaper under the taskbar and use automatic color for the taskbar turned on, seconds off, left aligned, medium size for task bar...

If another user is experiencing the same issue in v2, I am concerned the underlying problem might still exist.  Is there any way to debug the root cause?  I'm quite willing to provide further information about my system, installations, and configuration.  I do enjoy the Start11 product, it would be very disappointing to lose it over a bug.  Please advise.

This thread supports the reason I said in this Post that our feedback falls on deaf ears. There are a lot of users who feel their feedback goes unheard. This is evident in this post and elsewhere on the forum if you have surfed much of it. It's worth saying as well that the website still claims to provide personalized support through a ticket creation system when purchasing Object Desktop. We've had that discussion already on the forum and that claim is simply not true. Updating the website to show the current support system and give more clarity to new users would be helpful. Doing so would ensure that new users know exactly what to expect for support ahead of time. After finding out that personalized support was not being honored despite being a major selling point (for me at least) on the website, my relationship with Stardock has been damaged. I would imagine others feel the same way whether they mention it or not.

However, I love the software and think Stardock is an awesome company. I just think support needs to rise to the level of the software. So anything bad I have to say is so far outweighed by the good I think that it doesn't matter much. 

I think this issue may be fixed with the recent beta, 2.05.  I installed the beta yesterday, and I haven't had any of the previously report problems: clock not updating, issues with taskbar icons, etc.

Thanks for the response, Neil.  Unfortunately, the problem is NOT resolved with v2.  I ran an Start11 update yesterday and it says I am up to date, however, the clock is once again frozen. 

Is there anything that can be done to correct this?  Is there any further information or technical data I could provide that would help debug the issue?  I would very much like to continue using Start11, but I cannot if this issue persists.

I didn't have any issues on 2.0, then I saw your post so I figured I try Beta 2.02.  I've been using it for a few hours and haven't had the clock freeze or other reported issue. 

@Twenty_Ton_Squirrel, have you tried 2.03 beta?  I just downloaded and installed it.  No issues right now, but it took over a day before 2.02 started freezing.

First of all, thank you Twenty Ton for pointing out that I can click on the restart explorer button.  I also have this same problem and have had it in my Start 11 for the past 5-ish months.  Knowing I can at least click restart helps a lot compared to having to restart the entire OS.

basj, I tried what you said, the clock still freezes.  I completely uninstalled start11 and haven't had the problem since the uninstall so definitely the issue is with start11.
