Not sure if this issue is already reported and being fixed yet...
Exact Windows Version: Windows 11 Version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.3155)
Start11 Version: 2.07
Problem/Steps to reproduce: Pin certain items to Start11 via the context menu and then try to click those apps from Start 11. They won't open.
Apps affected:
- OBS Studio (3rd party)
- Snipping Tool (built-in Windows utility)
- "Classic" Teams (Microsoft app)
- OBS Studio issue:
When I pin OBS Studio (shortcut or the executable) to Start11, I see this message:
followed by this message:
This worked fine in Windows 10 and Start10.
- Snipping Tool issue:
When I pin Windows' Snipping Tool utility to Start 11, the first problem is that the icon is not correct; it shows the generic Windows 11 folder icon instead:
This worked fine in Windows 10 and Start10 for Snipping Tool and Snip & Sketch.
- Classic Teams issue:
When I pin Microsoft Teams classic to Start11, and then click on it, it loads this command line window, which then closes (and nothing else happens):
Teams classic worked fine in Windows 10 and Start10.

Given that this issue occurs for multiple apps, but not all of them (and across a variety of apps, such as built-in Windows features, 3rd party apps, and 2nd party/Microsoft apps), it seems like a change in the way Start11 handles calling/loading these applications rather than issues with the specific applications or with Windows 11.
