I also would like to see this feature.

One quick additional observation. Not a complaint, really, as it's not much of a big deal. Just an observation. Curiously, while most of the items in the shortcut list offer the right-click menu, a few (All apps, Setting, and Windows Terminal, in my case) do not ... /John

Live and learn. 😊

Argh! Yes, that's it. I was trying to change the icon from Start Menu->Configure menu in the Config app, by selecting a Shortcut and clicking the 'Set icon...' button. Which doesn't work. But doing it as pelaird suggests does work. And the video that basj posted early on clearly shows him doing it that way, but I didn't see it. Sorry I missed that! (Although it may well be the case that I'm the one who paid the biggest price for my mistake ...)

Hello again Basj. A quick update: I followed the steps to create another account and do a Cleanboot. No luck -- changing the icon still didn't work. Then I went one step further: I have another laptop -- a Dell XPS 13, similar to the one I currently use but about two years old. I reset that one to factory state, so that it contains only what what was on it when it shipped (I was planning to do this anyway, because I intend to sell it). So it's bas

Sounds interesting. Also sounds a bit involved, so I'll need to undertake that when I have a bit of time. I'll let you know ...

Sadly, I do not have Windows Pro. (Wish I'd known about Sandbox when I bought this laptop; I'd have probably upgraded to Windows Pro just for that reason alone ...) Sorry. :-

Hi again. Well, you were right -- uninstalling and reinstalling 2.49.4 did not lose my settings. (There's actually a checkbox you can check asking whether you want to delete settings when you uninstall, which naturally I did not check). Unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem either. The icons for the Shortcut items still don't change with the new version. These icons don't have to be in a specific location, do they? I'm choosing 64x64 .ico files t

Nice to know you have built in the capability to save settings. :-) Thanks! I'll give that all a try and report back. (BTW, despite my having posted about a couple minor trials and tribulations, I think this is an awesome product.) /John

>Did you try restarting explorer after changing the icon? I signed out and back in again. That should restart explorer, I think. >Would like to suggest to, uninstall Start11, reboot immediately after the uninstall is done, download the latest Start11 v2.49.4 from your account product page. Install it, reboot immediately again. Retest it and report back. I'm definitely curious as to whether this will work.

OS: Win11 24H2 Build 26100.2605 Start11 v2.11 Menu Style: Windows Pro style As best as I'm able to tell, the 'Set icon...' button for the items in the Shortcuts list doesn't seem to work. I click it and select an icon file (have tried with both .ico and .png), and it seems to realize I've done something, because at that point the 'Reset icon' button becomes active. But the icon displayed for the Shortcuts list item doesn't change. Moved to

The problem isn't so much that it displays a scrolling menu; I don't mind that. The problem is that it doesn't respond to two-finger touchpad scrolling.

Yes indeed. If I put the Start button at the left, then it displays in two columns as you said. If Start button is at the center, it displays in one column with a scroll bar. Note that the scroll bar itself works; it just doesn't respond to touchpad two-finger scrolling. Hardly a calamity, but curious ... Thanks! /John

OS: Win11 24H2 Build 26100.2605 Start11 v2.11 Menu Style: Windows Pro style I generally have two-finger on the touchpad scrolling enabled. I am able to two-finger scroll in the main portion of the Start Menu (e.g., the All apps list). However, if an item is included in the Shortcuts on the right-hand side that expands into a menu which is large enough to display a scroll bar (e.g., Control Panel), that menu will not two-finger scroll.

Empirically, it seems that is indeed what the other product is doing. When its Start Menu is displayed, if I mouse over another window, focus doesn't switch. Probably a matter of twiddling a registry value. Looks like HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\UserPreferencesMask. Curiously, if through the Control Panel I change focus-follows-mouse from Off to On, two different bits in the UserPreferencesMask go from 0 to 1 -- bits 1 and 7 (0-based). /John

I figured that was it. I did try the Cleanboot Basj suggested, although I thought it was unlikely to help, since I'm working in a new, almost entirely clean Win11 installation. Indeed it didn't help. Once I turned on the activate-window-by-hovering setting, the problem reappeared. (Am I the only person who both uses Start10/11 and turns on this setting?) I found a comparable alternative Start Menu product that doesn't seem to suffer from this problem. N

I browsed around the forum a bit, but didn't find evidence that anyone else is having this problem. Occasionally, when I try to open the Start11 menu (either by clicking the taskbar icon or with the Windows logo key), the menu opens, then immediately closes again. Not every time, only intermittently (on average, once every 5-10 times I try to open it). I haven't been able to discern any consistent circumstances that seem to make this happen; it seems somewhat random.&nbs
