Apps Group start11

can't delete an Apps group from startup

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

I added an Apps Folder to my startup screen, found that it was not very useful and wanted to delete it by right-clicking on it and selecting Delete Group - nothing happened. Then I tried to add a tab to the group, selected it and then right-clicked on the Apps group and selected Delete - nothing. Then I tried to delete group and all its tabs - nothing.

The only action I could do was moving the group to a new page.

And in this context my other problem: How can I set the default of all icons created on the start screen set to be small. There is a setting that would suggest to do that but it does not make a difference.

Cheers,
Gunter

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more on your system.

  1. Windows full version number. Use Winver.exe
  2. Start11 full version number.
  3. Which Start11 Start menu style you are on?
  4. Have you check if you have not locked you Start panel before trying to delete the group?

Thank you.

Any reason you not updating to the latest Windows 10 22H2 yet? I can not reproduce your issue on my system. But, I am on Windows 10 v22H2 (OS Build 19045.4239) and Start11 v2.06.

Thank you,

I tried a few times, but somehow it did not work - maybe I try again - thank you!

What actually you tried and did not worked? Update Windows 10 to latest version?

Yeah, I meant the upgrade to win 22H2 - and this time I succeeded.

But it did not make a difference about my ability to remove the apps group - any group actually. I played with this some more to get an idea if there is something I can do to make it work. But nothing: (all on a second page) make a new normal group or app-group, put them together into tabs, the command to delete, group or even tab and all group, and even page, just don't do anything. I have seen it work in the past, and there was a confirmation dialog - that is not displayed at this time.

Cheers,
Gunter

I tried the logging into a clean account and started start11 there and all worked fine.

And when I went back to my regular account - that magically also worked - now I can delete things.  :-)
