Start-11 Recent Itiems

What a bizarre menu!

November 20, 2023 9:10:08 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi - I'm a paid Start-11 user.  I recently tried adding "Recent Items" to the righthand menu.  Boy, what an odd collection of files, registry keys, control panels, folders, and such.  I can't capture a screen shot, but it is bizarre!   Is there any way to confine it to files the way W10 works?

Thanks!

I'm only seeing files and folders. I opened regedit and opened a few keys, but they did not show up in Recent items. I'm using the Windows 10 Style.

What version of Start11v2 and what style are you using?

Version 2.0,  W7 Modern.   I have a great photo - how do I upload it?  (or is the only method to provide a link?)

The Recent Items Menu was fixed and limited to 15 items in ver. 2.01 (2.0.1.1)

  • Limited recent docs popup menu to 15 items (or OS setting if defined)

However, the most recent version is 2.02 (2.0.2.0)

Try the updates and see if your issue is fixed.

It says my Version 2.0 is up to date.  What is the correct way to update to 2.02?

From the Change Log of 2.03 Beta (2.0.3.0) Hopefully this helps.

  • Recent items popup menus now filter out some additional items

I'm sorry - that link didn't bring up anything for me, then I realized that I may have registered for forums under a different Email than the one I used to purchase the product, so I signed out and signed back in - it said it recognized the Email but I needed to create an account, so I did, but still I can't seem to find my downloads page.  Perhaps you could just give a me a link to where I could download the latest version?  Thanks!

If you are signed in to your account, this link should take you to your download page. You need to be logged in to your account before you click this link.

Hopefully you don't have two different accounts for purchases. If you do, it is possible to consolidate them. Go to this link https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1339293825/Account+Management  and click on "Merging two accounts."

I'm sorry - originally I created a forums account <removed e-mail>.  When I purchased the product I used <removed e-mail> but when I tried to access that it said "I recognize that email but you don't have an account, create one" so I did, with email <removed e-mail> and username jeffw00.  However, neither account appears to be connected to my purchase.  Sorry, I guess I messed this up.  How do I get to one account (preferably <removed e-mail> but I'm flexible) linked to my purchase.  Just consolidating won't help me as none of my accounts appear to be linked to my purchase.   Again - many apologies.  Thanks!

That appears to be some type of settings page for one of your apps. Not sure why it's showing up in Recent items.

I'm only seeing files and folders.

I'm not sure either, but thought I should report as a bug.

The Recent items are listed from the top down in order of their usage. Try to think back to what might have triggered this item. This listing is between two pdf files you opened. If I were to guess, I'd say it was something in the Specs folder.

When I click on the long entry in Recent Items, I get the same box I would get if I left-click on the speaker icon in the Systray , and if I left-click on the speaker icon in the systray, Start-11  puts a new similar (identical?) very long entry into Recent Items.

Very strange! I get the same listing when I open the Quick Settings. That needs to be fixed.

Nevermind, I see it too now. Only on Windows 11 not on my Windows 10. Yes?

Thank you,
