Ok, so that explains that, then, I can get it by right clicking on the Start Menu Button, but was used to it popping up on the task bar itself. Still having issues with not being able to drag internet shortcuts I have created on the Desktop to the Task bar - and further there is no Pin to Start !! menu option when right clicking on an internet shortcut either. I've had to launch Start 11 and create a pin from there to get it to work which is another long way

Have downgraded W11 to W10 (clean installation) due to lag issues. So Restoring Apps and have come to Start 11 which is not working for me. I have tried 5 times to uninstall and reinstall this but I can't get it back to how it was. I want the Start11 settings to appear when right-clicking on the taskbar. Currently and regardless of anything I can find configuration wise, it still pulls up the W10 taskbar settings menu on right mouse click on the taskbar. This i

Yep, I've cancelled the lawsuits this week! [e digicons]:grin:[/e] So don't screw it up again please guys 👍

So an update: a couple of days using 2.06.3 and no crashing issues. So whatever the previous causes were for the system crashing, they were very likely related to 2.0.5.4 release.

I'm still on 2.03 without issue since yesterday. I've been working all day today and still no crashes. I may try the 2.06.2 beta shortly for R&D purposes and I'll let you know what happens, but I'm not going to cleanboot, as there's nothing wrong with my system as highlighted every time I revert back to the older Start11 version everything works perfectly - I keep a tight system with no crap on. It's the 2.0.5.4 version that is crashing every time. There is a 2

Without wanting to jinx anything, I've been using my system extensively for 9 hours non-stop with version Start11 V2 2.03 installed and so far no crashes or freezes. If this continues, there must be something in Version 2.0.5.4 that is causing a problem.

Not had an issue with activation yet.... but have the links in case, thanks.

Update: So haven't had much time yesterday of use, but last night, the same thing happened again. Browser froze, then subsequently every other thing i tried to do froze or was non-responsive. Went to restart (mouse and keyboard working) and as soon as I clicked restart, black screen as usual came up but no restart, then I couldn't task switch or do anything - so plug out again. I'm now going to uninstall Start 11 again as this isn't doing my system any good, but I

So which one? AS you can see very confusing as to what the differences are: Start11 V1 Start11 V2 (Beta) This is what it keeps asking me to upgrade to when I download the first version and causing the issues. I've run all the purge gubbins as requested, but I did a pretty good job or removing everything ma

The mouse works, and intermittently I can press the start menu icon, but if I can get to the shutdown icon after a few attempts of clicking, and select restart, the screen goes blank and nothing happens. Then I can't switch windows or do anything. I can sometimes switch open to programmes, but mostly can't actually get any response from the mouse or keyboard when I can access them, so can't do anything. Behaviour is random, but I know immediately it's going

3 Times I've tried installing this software and it wants the upgrade to V 2.0.5.4, so I go ahead. Guaranteed after less than an hour, complete freezing of OS. I know it's this crappy software, as each time I pull the plug to reboot and get access to my PC again, I uninstall it and everything works as normal for days. The minute I try again and install - yep, the bloody thing starts screwing up my system again. Win 11 Pro 23H2

I've manually had to uninstall from the registry and from all the folders and disabled all the services. It has taken the best part of a day to unpick all this and get things near normal. There is definitely an issue where unloading WB refuses to restore the colours as they were before skinning. You should have a snapshot feature that restores everything to pre-WB skinning as a minimum to avoid this. Almost the opposite of Fences that snapshots everythi

It's a disgrace that this software is so bugged. I too have residual programmes remaining after uninstalling, uninstallers that will not work (Start 11), leaving my system full of botched software all over the place, and don't get me started on Windowblinds. I knew there was a reason why I aborted this software years ago and this has just reminded my why I should never have upgraded thinking they would have sorted it all out - but no. Windowblinds & Start11 have

Amen to that! That now makes it perfectly clear Sean. By adding that last sentence the distinction has been made between what is a NEW licence for this product (you've not purchased Object Desktop previously on your account before June 2023) and those customers that have already purchased Object Desktop previously in the past at any time prior to June 2023, who will not be affected by apps ceasing to work if their subscription is not renewed. You have now just got a re

Here: The bit in red that I have highlighted. The subscription (if I were to buy one today) is past May 2023, so according to your own info, would cease to work after 1 year if not renewed! My subscription to Object Desktop was bought in 2017 and was not renewed . So yes the old apps for the old subscription will continue to work But it has not been renewed. Quote from your link: <h4 id="If-my-Ob

The confusion is arriving when you talk about classic subscriptions - can we put that to bed - as I said I bought the suite back in 2017 nearly 7 years ago and have had NO further active subscription since that expired, but have offline installers and they continue to install and work. Please stop talking about Start11 V2 - that's only just been released so I don't even have that from the apps in 2017. Therefore if I bought a renewal of Object Desktop now at the offered

I don't understand a word of that - no wonder people are confused Sean. 1] Yes I had a Classic Sub for my 2017 Apps of which there are absolutely loads of versions of each for which I have the offline installers and am currently using for WB 10 Fences 3 and all working fine thanks. 2] What I am suggesting you are telling me in a confusing sort of way is that if I decide to purchase a new 1 year subscription for Object Desktop, the following is true: a] I uninstal

Hi Basj, yes I think I get that my 2017 Apps will still work but anything later once renewed to later versions will expire after 1 year when subscription expires and software won't work. That confirms it and Stardock have therefore lost any future business from us which seems self-defeating, but that's my choice. Thanks for replying anyway.

So I was about to hit the renew button after a promo email, but put the brakes on that after reading through this forum and getting thoroughly confused. I should say that I had the Object Desktop Suite from 2017 - so am on Windowblinds 10 and Fences 3 etc. So I have all the offline installers and haven't used any apps for a few years. I just installed WB10 the other day and activated using my original key - no problems at all. Then I get the renewal invite with a d
