Application hang with explorer.exe using Start11 2.55 on 25H2

from Stardock Forums

I am getting weird crashes with Start11 2.55 and Windows 11 25H2.  After a random amount of time, the windows key on the keyboard stops working.  not too long after that, explorer will crash hard (Application Hang - The program explorer.exe version 10.0.26100.6725 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel)

I'm not having any issues with Start11 uninstalled.  Any ideas?  My system passes dism and sfc and everything.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. First, to make sure Start11 get 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,

I uninstalled 2.55 and rebooted and installed the 2.56 beta and it seems resolved.  Thanks

Hello,
Just to be clear v2.56 has moved out of beta recently. Not it is just release version v2.56.
