Updated Start 11 just now, Fences works but icons are there but are invisible

Start 11 update impacted Fences?

from Stardock Forums

Windows 11 Pro, 26200.8457

Latest Fences, Start 11 2.7 before the ill fated update

Problem - After getting an update notice for Start 11 and updating, on reboot, all my icons are invisible but fences is open and visible and the icons are "there" clickable, just invisible.

Followed everything in the online support area, and nothing worked.  So decided to get the batch file and purge and reinstall, and I did.  It was gone, but all my icons were as well. Not an icon on the desktop to be seen, or "invisible" and clickable.  They were gone on repeated shutdown and restarts. 

Ended up doing a system restore of my C drive using macrium reflect and a backup from last night, so I'm back in service but now don't want to update Start 11 anymore.  Because things were fine until I did that update but have no idea how to report this other than here.

We have a beta update coming out next week for Start11 which should address this as it was reported late last week and we have a build in testing right now.

It shows up if you have a secondary display to the left or above the primary and you have Start11 set to have autohide taskbar or a taskbar on the left/right/top.

Disabling Start11 enhanced taskbar would fix this so if you uninstalled Start11 they should be visible again.
