Add App Icon

March 1, 2025 12:48:51 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Can someone help me with why when I go to New > Add Application and try to add Bittorrent - nothing appears. I have done this 3 times. The Bittorrent icon I originally had in the Start11 group/page disappeared, which is why I was trying to add it back. This is not the first time I have had app icons vanish.

Also, how do I restart Start11 when it goes bonkers?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Have you tried by going to application list->Browse for an application in the application list->Right click on it->Pin to Start11. Something like screenshot below.

You can try restart Explorer.exe. There is a Restart Explorer button on Start11 (Windows 11)->taskbar area. Or you can use this guide to do restart explorer.exe https://www.howtogeek.com/198815/use-this-secret-trick-to-close-and-restart-explorerexe-in-windows/

Thank you,

Screenshot did help and it worked. Thanks.

I do not see the Restart Explorer button anywhere in the taskbar area.

If you on Windows 11, you should see this button.

What do you mean by bonkers?

I have had instances where all the icons have vanished when I was playing around with settings. Happened today. Just strange things happening that are not right.
