Start11 not changing start menu

November 13, 2023 11:21:00 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

During the trial period, Start11 was working great.  Now that I paid, I noticed the Start Menu isn't changing.  On Windows 11, any of the options I choose (Windows 7 Style is what I'm going for) don't change the start menu and I'm stuck with the Windows 11 style.  I'm not quite sure if I'm missing a setting somewhere.  I rebooted the PC and that didn't solve the problem.

I can pick any of the style options and nothing changes the default Windows 11 start menu.

Solved my own problem.    It appears under Control, I needed to have Start11 menu under 'Clicking the start button opens'.

I'm not sure why/how that setting changed since the trial period, but I can now change the ridiculous Windows 11 start menu.  Thanks!

I just installed Start 11 V2 and I am now experiencing this issue even though I have both Start Menu --> Windows 7 Style -AND- Control -> Clicking the start button open "Start11 menu" selected.  Can you help?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Is this a new install Start11? or an upgrade or update? If upgrade/update from which version? If new, do you any other 3rd party software installed that change how your Start panel / Explorer work? More details on your system would also require. Need your Windows full version number, use Winver.exe.

Thank you.

Basj,

Thanks for the quick reply.  I uninstalled and re-installed the Start 11 v2 release and all seems to be working properly again.  For completeness, though, I had previously been running the original Start 11 release on Win 11 - 23H2 (v22631.3235) without issue.  After installing the Start 11 v2 release over the original Start 11 release, I ran into this issue.  Again, uninstalling and re-installing appears to have resolved the issue.
