Pinning msft "apps" to start11 start menu shows generic folder icon, clicking opens "Apps" folder, not the app itself

from Stardock Forums

Hi, when choosing "Pin to Start menu (Start11)" on a microsoft "store app" - something like Calculator, Terminal, Snipping tool, etc., it just pins a folder icon with that name and clicking that doesn't open the app, it opens a folder showing all apps. Should be easy to reproduce assuming it's pervasive - just type "calculator" in the start11 search, pick the msft calculator app, right click and pin, then look at the pinned items in the start11 menu.

If I pin to the "real" windows start menu then it shows up and works as expected (icon is correct, clicking it opens the calculator).

Start11 v 2.51, Windows 11 v 24H2 build 26100.2894

Pinning to the start11 menu:

 

Items pinned to Start11:

 

Clicking any of those folder items opens this window:

Pinning to the "real" start menu:

Thanks.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, look like I can not reproduce your issue on my system. Need to know, which Start11v2 Start panel style you're currently using? From your screenshot it look like Windows 7/Modern style?

Thank you,
