Start11 v 2.5

Taskbar size

from Stardock Forums

I have a Win 11 PC with Start11 v2.5 running. Checked for update and have latest version. I have 3 monitors running side-by-side. The main (center) monitor has the taskbar, the others don't. When I enable Star11 to enhance the taskbar and change the size to small - my setting before the most recent update - or medium, open windows on that monitor maximize to the space that would normally allow for the large taskbar. Am I missing a setting? 

Edit: I have another Win 11 PC with Start11 v2.11 installed and multiple monitors, basically - except for the Start11 version - the same setup and the open windows maximize fully. I have a suspicion it's associated wth v2.5

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know,

  1. Windows 11 full version and OS Build number. Please use Winver.exe.
  2. Start11 full version number.
  3. When I enable Star11 to enhance the taskbar and change the size to small - my setting before the most recent update - or medium, open windows on that monitor maximize to the space that would normally allow for the large taskbar. Am I missing a setting?

You may want to install the 2.51 beta as it has some changes to work area calculation.

Thanks. Here's the WINVer and an example of the bottom of the screen with Chrome maximized. At the bottom, above the taskbar is the "unused" space. I chose wallpaper with a dashed yellow line to highlight the space and it is circled.  All I can find in the ABOUT for Start11 is Version 2.5.

Have you tried Start11 v2.51 as suggested by Dev above?

Basj/Neil:

That worked!  Thanks so much! I deleted START11 2.5.0.0 first then did a fresh install of the beta 2.5.1.2
