When using the start11 autohide mode, if you use the windows 11 snap feature (I'm not sure what its actually called) to maximize two windows and split the left/right of the screen, it leaves a gap for the hidden taskbar for both windows.

I think some things for leaving the gap was fixed before, but it still happens when you use the right/left snap.

If you are a keyboard first person, you should really try PowerToys Run.

PowerToys Run is a quick launcher for power users that contains some additional features without sacrificing performance.

PowerToys Run supports various action keys to funnel search queries for a specific subset of results. Typing < searches for running processes only, ? will search only for file, or . for installed applications! See PowerToys documentation for the complete set of 'Action Keys' available.

Hello, I've been experiencing an issue with Start11 2.x (latest version). The problem is that all the icons on the taskbar and system tray are getting jumbled. Sometimes many icons from programs not pinned to the taskbar are displayed - the order is completely random, making it impossible to locate the desired program...

The only workaround so far is to terminate and restart the explorer.

I recall having the same issue with Start11 1.x a while ago, which was eventually resolved with an update. Perhaps the same miracle might occur again.

Any advice on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Startmenu on secondary and tertiary monitor not working with display fusion.

Either nothing happens or the default windows start menu pops up on the main screen.

This is with the start menu button on screen. If i press the windows key it pops up as expected.
For now i have disabled the start menu icon on the other taskbars to stop myself from clicking them without thinking.

This is probably related to how display fusion hooks in to "grab" the start menu, and i have mentioned the issue on their forums as well..

Now i know you have no obligation to work along with other third party apps, but i think the overlap in your users with display fusion should be pretty high, as you both help users tackle short comings of the windows 11 user interface.

I would love to see some dialog between the two companies to make sure their apps work in harmony, as they both contribue to a real improvment of my day to day workflow.

Running Start11 2.03 on an i9 Dell XPS15-9530 running Windows 11 Pro 22H2.

Didn't notice this in version 2.06, but Objectdock was working at the time.

Right clicking items in the start menu causes a lock up when the menu appears. Opening task manager clears it: The unresponsive menu goes away as soon as the task manager window opens.

Trying to restart (my default is hibernate), opening options for shut down, etc. does the same.

Tried running in compatibility mode (Windows 8). That doesn't fix the problem.

Same problem.  I commented a few times on the forum about this issue but no response.  I love the Start11 product but this bug is annoying.  Hopefully it will get fixed soon.

Bunch of broken folders with the fences icon showed up in my start11 menu, not sure what this is.

Those would be Fences on your desktop.  I suspect they have names but are in black for some reason.  If you turn this off, they will go away

Windows build 22621.2715. DPI is 125%.

Right-clicking on taskbar icons closer to the right-hand side of the screen does not invoke a context menu for that icon, but instead shows the taskbar's menu. Open programs do show the thumbnail on hover. Holding Ctrl or Alt does not invoke the context menu either for these 'click-thru' icons. Context menus show correctly for tray icons when interacted with. Restarting explorer.exe does not help. Persists after reboots.

I can still drag icons around, so in the image video above I can swap the positions of Tiger VNC with the YouTube Music Desktop App and then access it's context menu.

I'm having the same issue too.  Any word on a fix?

I have two issues, which were also in v1.

Windows 11 22H2 x64

Note: My taskbar is at the top of the screen.

1. Right-clicking the Start Menu brings up the alternate menu, though when mousing over items, the mouse pointer needs to move to at least the middle of the item vertically to be selected. (You can see in the screenshot, that the mouse pointer is over Terminal, though Terminal (Admin) is still selected.

I did test this on a Win11 without Start11, and it didn't seem to have the same issue.



 

2. Sometimes, when right-clicking a taskbar preview window, the context menu is displayed behind the preview window, obviously obstructing the use of the context menu.



Thank you
