Issue with Start button Right Click

Windows admin menu (right click on Start) not showing when Start11 is active

from Stardock Forums

When Start11 is active and the Show Win+X menu when right clicking on the start button rather than the Start11 one is toggled to the On position, right clicking on the Start button does nothing. If I toggle the option Off, the Start11 right click menu appears. Taskbar is set to bottom, left aligned. This worked correctly until updating to v2.7. Currently on Start11 v2.71. Windows version is Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview - 25H2, build 26300.8493.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. I think I can reproduce this one. I have forwarded your problem/question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience. Thank you.

Note: on my system when the option is off, the menu did appear very very briefly. When it turn on, it don't appear at all.

Basj,

Hello and thanks for posting.

Quoting michaelaford,

When Start11 is active and the Show Win+X menu when right clicking on the start button rather than the Start11 one is toggled to the On position, right clicking on the Start button does nothing. If I toggle the option Off, the Start11 right click menu appears. Taskbar is set to bottom, left aligned. This worked correctly until updating to v2.7. Currently on Start11 v2.71.

I haven't been able to reproduce this in testing.  If possible, could you try installing the current Beta version of Start11v2 on a Windows Sandbox?

Details on how to get the latest Beta for Start11v2 can be found here:

With a fresh install of the Beta on a Windows Sandbox (without changing settings), please check if the problem reoccurs.  This could be highly useful information to help isolate necessary conditions. 

If it does not reproduce on the Sandbox, you can then backup and transfer your settings to that fresh installation on the Sandbox, from the backup tab of the app:

Please also let us know if restoring that backup on the Sandbox makes the issue occur.  If it does, we should be able to investigate further into which specific settings may be problematic.

Setup Windows Sandbox and installed Start11v2 v2.72 on the VM. With the vanilla installation, the right click menu shows correctly. I backed up and transferred my settings file to the VM and imported it. I had the same outcome. The menu still shows up correctly. The Windows version in the sandbox is: Windows 11 Enterprise Insider Preview Build 26100.8493.ge_prerelease_im.260513-1839

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do. Thank You.
