I'm currently running Start11 2.08 on my Windows 11 desktop running Windows 11 23H2 Build 22631.3880. Since I installed Windows updates last month, Start11 is totally unusable. It is frozen and clicking anything on the Taskbar results in nothing happening. Sometimes I can right click to get a context menu, but the menu freezes open and I cannot click anything on it. The time/date is also frozen. Restarting the computer allows Star11 to work for just seconds before it is unusable again. I've uninstalled Start11 and the Windows Taskbar and start menu work fine. Reinstall Start11, and it instantly freezes again.
Yes, I'm sure it is Start11. When I disable Enhance my Taskbar my computer runs fine. On the beta when I enable enhance my Taskbar, my computer studders and locks up around every 10 minutes. It looks to be locking up explorer.exe or the taskbar process.
Please try running under Windows sandbox and see if Enhance taskbar giving the same issue: https://forums.stardock.com/505872/start11-support-faq#windowssandbox. If it working in Sandbox, next, try Cleanboot and see if there is an application that conflicting with Start11 and causing the issue: https://forums.stardock.com/505872/start11-support-faq#cleanboot
Try those and report back.
Thank you,

The Windows 11 version from Patch Tuesday is 22631.4037, and the 2.1 Beata was released yesterday.
Try running Windows Update, and then download the 2.1 Beta and install.
Report back with your findings when completed.
The newest Start11 beta 2.1 appears to have solved my issue. I've been running with the beta for several days without issue!
Great, glad to hear that.
