Thanks. I've done this and now cannot find the option to have the taskbar vertically. Have you stopped this feature?

Ignore, please - for some reason you don't put v 2 on the main downloads page.

It should be still be there. refer my screenshot below.

If you don't see it, perhaps, something went wrong while installing. Also, make sure you're installing latest Start11 v2.81.

Not really sure what you mean by that. If you have purchased Start11v2, it should be listed in your account product download page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products. Do let us know if it is not listed in there.

Thank you,

Hi - that hasn't worked.

Windows 11 25H2 Build 26200.9457

Start 11 v. 2.81

Nothing else that would affect the taskbar, I believe

That's what I have had for many years until recently! 

Will try Clean Boot, but can't do so today.
