Start11 V2

Windows Update Flashing Screen

Hi all,

I have Start11. The latest windows update causes the screen to start flashing and renders the computer unuseable until the update is removed. I have removed the update on two occassions now. Instead, I have now disabled Start11 and kept windows up to date.

Does Start11 V2 fix this issue?

Additionally, I found that Start11 didnt always start even though it was setup to start at login and even then, I would try starting manually, and it still didnt load it up. The standard Windows 11 taskbar would remain. Another reason I reverted to the default Windows 11 taskbar.

Does anyone have any suggestions on resolving this issue?

Thanks.

For someone to be able to help you, the full version of Windows is needed (use winver.exe) and what version of Start 11 do you have installed?

Have you perhaps installed a tool like Explorer patcher in the past?

Start11 shouldn't be causing such issues.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your reply.

I have not installed anything like explorer patcher. Even then, everything except Start11 is still running at start up, without issue.

Windows version is Home, 21H2, OS Build 22000.2176

any other suggestions as to whether V2 may or may not help correct this issue or how to ensure Start11 actually starts at startup?

Thanks again.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try update your Windows 11 to latest V22H2 or V23H2 and see it that help with your issue.

Thanks

Hi Basj,

Windows update has no updates to apply, nor are there any optional updates. Windows is saying it is up to date.

Hello Morgs,

This was an interesting problem so I looked some things up for you. First off, the "21" in 21h2 signifies the your version of Windows 11 is from 2021. It does seem that Microsoft may have put holds on a few devices due to certain driver or compatibility errors. It is hard to say why exactly your pc won't update to the 2022 update or the 2023 update.

I have seen people get around this issue by using Windows 11 current version iso (Link) off of Microsofts site to update their pc that way. If you go this route just make sure to back up your data and potentially go back to 21h2 if there is in fact a deal breaking compatibility issue.

I suspect that your issue is that not a lot of software is currently being tested on the 21h2 version of Windows 11 as it is very uncommon in 2023

Hi Phoenix, I though it was odd that I was stuck on the 21, but didnt give it much more thought than that. Thanks for taking the time with this, I shall give it a go!

I'm having this problem also, it started happenning after updating to 23H2 - Build 22631.2506 so Start11 definitely needs updating.

I had this problem way back with Start8 after a mojor windows update

I have downloaded a copy from the account area reinstalled, unistalled, installed and stalled, rebooted several times between installs, updated my graphics drivers and ran SFC!!

This is a clean install of Windows 11 23H2

Hello,

Windows 10 here Version 22H2

Is there a possibility to add a custom delay to resync the icons to center? So if i open a new app, the resync of the items to center is immediately. I want to set a custom delay of x ms (for example 500ms).

Right now, I am in trial period, but i would buy Start11 if this feature is available.

The option to enable "Center icons" is available under Taskbar / How would you like your tasbar configured / Center aligned.

Thank you !

Can I ask the reason you would find the delay useful?

Successfully updated karma reason!

Using with 7+ Taskbar Tweaker i can make an app (with multiple instances) to make it using icons but when i hover on the app icon in the taskbar is expanding automatically (i mean same icon + text like --> [Icon App] Text Icon App [Icon App] Text Icon App) And when i don't hover the icon is looking like --> [Icon App]

[Icon App] - is the icon in the taskbar.

The problem is when I hover over the icon without delay, the icons immediately rearrange and move away from mouse. I can fix this using TaskbarX (https://chrisandriessen.nl/taskbarx) but i like to avoid installing lots of apps on my computer.

So without Hover taskbar: [AppIcon1] [AppIcon2] [AppIcon3-Multiple]

With hover on [AppIcon3-Multiple] --> [AppIcon1] [AppIcon2] [AppIcon3] TextAppIcon3 [AppIcon3] TextAppIcon3

And delay is a must.

Hi guys,

Update. I have installed Windows H23 and upgraded to Start11. Seems to be working fine so far. Will get back to you if anything changes for the worse.

Cheers for the help!

I am glad we were able to help! 23h2 should also feel like a pretty big update in of itself

Is there a way Stardock will add a delay? Should i make a gif/video with my problem?
