Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know your Windows 11 full version number. Use Winver.exe to get it. Also, need your Start11 full version number.

Thanks

I tried, but I can not consistently recreate this issue. It happen once, but after I restart, it never happened again. But, I am on Windows 11 v23H2 OS Build 22631.3085. Please try update to this version and see if the issue still there. Also, I am on Start11 v2.05.4. Latest beta available in your account product page. https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products

Thank you,

After update to Start11 and reboot, the problem went away for 24 hrs. It could be related to closing the lid on my device.

Also, I cannot rule out a problem with Windows version as our IT hasn't yet rolled out the build you cited.
