Srat Menu 11 and V2 Useless

After clean installing my system with Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (OS Bulid 22631.2506) both versions of Start11 and Start 11v2 causes the screen to continuously flash, I have installed, reinstalled, restarted between installs, I have had these issues before with other versions after Microsoft released new updates.

I have also updated my Nvidia video drivers.

Are you aware of this issue?

I am sorry you are experiencing this issue as that's clearly not normal.

Do you have any other utilities which might interact with explorer such as ExplorerPatcher installed?

If you open windows event log it might show crashes for explorer and give some more information on the issue.

It would be very useful to also know what else is installed.

Neil, I'll do a clean boot and install again in the morning and report back, no other patch utilites installed!!

Quadro M4000 drivers from Nvida's website v31.0.15.3770

Before I spend hours troubleshooting, have you tested your software on the current build of Windows that I have?

I have managed to clean install Windows 11 23H2 onto another machine and Start 11 works fine, so can rule out Windows Updates!!

Thanks for the dmp file.  This has given us an area to look into as I believe it is caused by some bad data in the recently run apps list.

Crossing fingers we will have this sorted for you in the next update.

Thanks, I'll be using StartAllback in the meantime while you fix the problem.

On my laptop I have installed V2 and it is working fine.

I see when you right click on a file or folder you get the full menu with StartAllback but with Start11 it's show more options, can this be changed in the settings

StartAllback Right Click Menu

?SartAllback Right click Menu

Start11v2 Right Click Menu

I will purchase V2, not happy purchasing the software that will most likely will not work until a different beta version is released that may fix it, over time
