Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need more details.

  1. Windows 10 or 11? Also need its full version and OS Build number. Use Winver.exe to get these numbers.
  2. ObjectDock version installed.
  3. Post screenshots of the issue.

Thank you,

Windows 11 Pro. Version 25H2: Build 26200.8246. Object Dock Version 3.01

Unfortunatly I had manually restored the tabs before I requested support, so cannot provide a screenshot. But for reference I had a Tab named Office, which held the shortcuts to Word, Excell etc, which was floating in the middle of the desktop, while the remainder of the Dock , which is normally at the top of the screen, was dispayed down the Right side.  Similarly, but at earier times, the Documents and Media tabs did the same.

Please try, uninstall ObjectDock, 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,

In Settings, View, do you have Lock Dragging enabled? That way an icon cannot leave the dock.
