Start11 V2 is unusable because tray icons are cropped [solved]

from Stardock Forums

I recently upgraded 6 computers to use Start11 V2.  It works correctly on 5 computers, but on one of the computers it is unusable:

The affected computer is a Surface Book 2 with Windows 11 Pro. The Start11 version is 2.05.  The start menu icon (on the left) and the system tray  icons (on the right) are both clipped, such that the bottom half of each icon is missing.  I tried rebooting the computer, and also reinstalling Start11 twice, and also resetting the Start11 settings to the default.

I found three ways to eliminate this problem:

1. Change the Windows display scaling to 100% instead of 200%.  This works but the icons are too small for everyday usage.   - OR -

2. Uninstall Start11 V2 -OR -

3. Downgrade to Start11 V1

Is this a known issue?  Will there be a fix?

There are two solutions.

1) open start11 settings, go to taskbar and scroll down and at the very bottom pick force touch taskbar rather than automatic.

Or

2) install the beta version of Start11 2.06 which improves automatic detection.
