I am going to start a new thread for this issue so we don't clog up the main feedback thread.

Is anyone else experiencing the issue where if you set a taskbar to be autohidden you can't get it to reappear? The only workaround that I can see is keeping the Start11 Config screen always open, not even minimized; it has to be open somewhere on the desktop for the taskbar to be able to be pulled back up.

Not updating "Recently installed" apps

Start11 doesn't show certain apps in the recently installed apps section (for example installed through the Microsoft Store). 

Taskbar doesn't autohide after clicking system tray

If you have S11 autohide enabled, the taskbar doesn't hide if you click the system tray unless you click somewhere else.

Switching between workspaces/desktops causes lags

If you switch between Windows desktops/workspaces (not monitors) you'll encounter general lags (noticeable by moving around the mouse)

The system tray one sounds normal.  If the taskbar is the active window or the mouse is over the taskbar area then it will not close.

The behavior isn't very consistent in my opinion. If I click the start button or the input method/locale button the taskbar will autohide, if you click somewhere else in the taskbar it will not close. Anyway, I don't think most of the people using the autohide feature want the taskbar to remain fixed if they click the system tray, clock or Wi-Fi/connections.

The items on a secondary but not a primary display will now display a menu though not the jumplist.

hi... i not sure, am i reporting the bug in the right channel...

Start11v2 previously have a good integration with Fences4....

previously Fences4's folder can be added to Start11v2's pinned group....

but the recent Fences5(preview) break that integration....
when can we expect the integration back ?

I am having issues with shutting my PC down when using Start11 v2.01 with one of the Windows 11 presets (sorry I forget which one and I'm not currently at my home PC where Start11 v2 is installed to check).

If I click on the Power button on Start11 then the options pop up with the very top Sign out box highlighted (in grey) and it stays over that option even when I move the mouse across the options. In fact, I can see the mouse moving over the options behind the Power menus. Sometimes it works if I wait a while and then I can finally select the Shutdown option but it is frustrating and I end up switching to the default one using the Windows key and shutting my PC down that way.

There is clearly an issue here, on my system at least, because this is not how the normal Wndows 11 power options work where I can shut down my PC immediately rather than having to wait or not having it register at all as Start11 v2.01 is doing for me currently.

Is this a known issue?

Hi, I encountered this problem when creating a menu folder in the start bar

the menu that opens because it goes too high?

Are you opening this menu by pressing the Windows key + Number, or are you clicking he menu icon on your taskbar?

in addition to this I noticed that the icons of the folders created are much smaller than the other icons such as file explorer.

 

Isn't it possible to set it to the same size as the other icons?

We have reproduced this with menus that are too tall to be one column, but too small to be 3 and should have it fixed in soon.

The icon sizes should be identical to those on the left hand side of Windows Explorer and small icon view in explorer.

Could you post a screenshot showing the icon in the menu and the icon elsewhere thats bigger?

A Windows icon isn't made up of just one image or size. Windows explorer in Windows 10, has the sizes seen on the left in the screenshot and resizes the one nearest to what is displayed.

If an icon however have just one size, or are missing the essential sizes, issues may occur. And as you can see, 128x128 isn't even there in the Windows default explorer icon, so that might be a good place to start to try other icons and see if the issue goes away, or even better if you can open it in an icon editor to see the different sizes or create those missing.

You are correct, it is due to a registry key issue.  We have a fix for this in the next beta soon.

Thanks for letting us know.
