With the "Seconds on the taskbar clock" option turned on... Because the number "1" is "skinnier" than the other numbers, whenever the number "1" appears in the time, the width of the clock changes. This causes the position of the system tray icons to change and there is some flickering while they are redrawn. (Maybe this is easier to see at 200% DPI which is what I am running on.) This can be seen for example when the "seconds" part of the clock cycles through 09..

Using Start11, version 1.0. Start menu style is set to "Windows 10 style". Under "Customize the visual appearance" and then "Visual touches", I have "Animate the window when opening it" turned OFF. Despite this, when I open the Start11 menu, the tiles and the app menu on the left-hand side sort of jutter around. It looks to me like they start in the correct position and then reset downwards a bit, and animate back upwards as they should if animation was turned on

DPI scaling issue — Using "Modern" style menu (behaves like Windows 7) Log in to a system running at 1080p/100% scaling Switch session to 4K/200% scaling (could attach a monitor to a laptop or something; in my case I am connecting in to the running system from another over RDP) Start11 generally looks fine after the change in scaling... however, "menu" popups appear super tiny! <img src="https://snz04pap001files.storage.live.c

Noticed another one regarding the order of "shortcuts" on the left side of the Windows 10 style start menu. I removed a bunch of items from the default list. I added "Windows Explorer" to the list. I moved Windows Explorer to the top of the order. Windows Explorer always shows up at the bottom. The other options in the list do change position when rearranged. Are custom-added options locked to the bottom? <img src="https:/

Well, since you're mucking with the taskbar, I wanted to throw out this feature request. I'm not sure if it would be possible (and I am not expecting it to be a high priority). In Windows 10, there is a registry setting that will cause seconds to be shown with the time on the taskbar. See: https://www.howtogeek.com/325096/how-to-make-windows-10s-taskbar-clock-display-seconds/<

Issue I noticed with Windows 10 style Start menu in Start11. In Windows 10 Start menu, if you search for a program and pin it to the Start menu, the icon used for the file will be the program shortcut's icon (which might be different from the program's icon ). Start11 always shows the program's icon , even if the shortcut had

I just installed Start11 RC1. I was wondering what trickery you were using to show the Windows 10 Start Menu on Windows 11. Now, I see that you just basically reimplemented it from scratch. Ha! I do like it, and I like that you've added some additional options (i.e. configuring the shortcuts that appear on the left side) but I spotted one other thing that is missing. In the "normal" Windows 10 Start menu, you can drag one tile on top of another and it will crea

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="1" id="3815693"]We request FOLDERID_StartMenu, FOLDERID_CommonStartMenu and pinned items folder[/quote] Thank you for the details. I might try to write a simple program to query Windows Search and see if I can reproduce this issue separately from Start10/11. (Might be a step towards figuring out why it is messed up on my system.) Otherwise, I'll wait and see what happens with Start11 over the next few weeks.

I had this issue with Start11, but I just retried with Start10 and ran into the same thing, so I am making a dedicated thread. Situation: Some programs cannot be found in Start10 or Start11 search. I know the normal response to this is "Start10 just uses the Windows Search service", however, these programs [u]DO[/u] show up in the regular Windows search (Win+S). They also show up in Open Shell Menu, I tried that too. So, Start10/Start11 is not doing somethi

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="45" id="3815321"]Thats very odd as the same search here produces the expected result. What language is your Windows install? Also in the all programs list if you right click on the file explorer option and pick properties, what is the path to the shortcut?[/quote] It's regular old English. File Explorer shortcut path is: C:\Users\aaron\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools Though

Running Start11 on Windows 10. Having an issue with search. Some apps that exist in the Start Menu can't be found with search. An obvious example is File Explorer, but I've run across a few others.
