Start11 2.5x - Last Win11 Update stopped Start11

I purchased Start11 for my laptop and desktop computers. Following the last Win11 update, Start11 is no longer working correctly. I was able to get the actual start Button back but the rest is all Win11 view. Is there a registry entry that will keep Start11 set as the active Start Menu? Or some other fix?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. First, to make sure Start11 was properly install. Please try, uninstall Start11, reboot immediately (important), download latest version available in your account product download page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products. Install it, reboot immediately again. Retest it and report back.

Thank you,

Are you clicking on the start button or using the windows key?

Also check your menu selection in Start11 settings and on the control page to make sure it is set to show the Start11 menu.

Desktop - using keyboard button or icon neither produces the right menu. All the settings have been rechecked several times - all Starts are set to Start11. Now it's not recognizing Start11 at all. Going to uninstall and reinstall to see if that solves the issue as the first reply suggested.

Well, Stardock not viewing correctly on here either - reply button didn't show up until I had entered this message - apologies.

What AV package are you using as that could be interfering with Start11 too as the latest version of Start11 used a different signing certificate and it might incorrectly not be trusting it and so silently blocking it.

Thanks to all for your responses. Uninstalling and reinstalling (and using an alternate pattern) remedied the issue with Start11 working with my Win11. I do think for future inquiries that a directive to a registry correction would be helpful - though that is beyond my ability to create 8-). Hope you all have a great 4th of July!
