[quote who="FrostyOfTheNorth" reply="7" id="3870009"] That's not Quick Launch. We want Quick Launch. [/quote] I feel your pain! I use a toolbar to display the Recycle Bin on the taskbar. I like to keep my desktop clean to display art, so I use the Start menu for all my shortcuts and don't have anything pinned to the taskbar.
[quote who="jbstardock26137" reply="5" id="3869988"] I added Quick Launch to the Start11 menu using the following. [/quote] Good idea! You could also create your own folder anywhere and add shortcuts for the items you want to appear in the menu. This is probably the best way to

If you add a page to replace you Quick Launch Toolbar, then you can add all your shortcuts and group them as you like to organize them.

One way to solve this issue is to drag the top of the start menu until the scroll bar disappears. If your screen doesn't allow you to drag it far enough up, you will have to make the icons smaller in the configuration settings. Also, if you don't have "Show more tiles on start" selected, you could try that and see if you can arrange your tiles so that the scroll bar disappears. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/69/28/6928565/1b28d5d8-69e4-4289-84f3-bc4163180166.jpg" alt="" widt
Windows 10 Build 19045.2311, Start11 ver. 1.33 This is not a big issue, it's really just a question. It appears that if the number of characters in the path to an image file is longer than 128 characters, Start11 will not load the image file to the start menu when using the "Pick custom tile image" context menu. I discovered this when attempting to load an image of a file nested pretty deep in folders. If I moved the file up one folder in the nest, it worked. I copied the path
According to Neowin.net in recent articles posted today, Microsoft is planning to enable seconds in the taskbar via a switch in the settings and a leak suggest "never combine taskbar buttons" could also be in the works. Although this news is great for Windows 11 users, unfortunately it adds to the never ending changes to Windows 11 which the Stardock, Start11 development team has to contend with. Windows 11 continues to be a moving target for the Stardock team.
This is fixed in 1.32. Thanks!
Click Add... Add custom location... and then browse to your Favorites folder and select it. After it's added, select whether it should display as a link or menu.

[quote who="sdRohan" reply="1" id="3869227"] Win10/11 style all programs list now respects icon set for folders vs using a default icon [/quote] Thank you for this fix! This is a much cleaner look now.
[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="4" id="3868947"] Are you sure the Win10 menu is really using your icon? I ask as tests here have shown it uses a fixed icon which does not change with IP. Is it possible your current folder icon is simply close to the MS default? We have made changes for the next Start11 build which should fix the Win10/11 style menus. [/quote] Fixed in 1.32. The correct folders are now displayed in the All Apps section of the Win
Someone please explain to me how having the Quick Launch Toolbar is any quicker or easier than just having those shortcuts on the start menu. Both the Quick Launch Toolbar and the Start Menu require two clicks to launch a shortcut.
[quote who="ROFI03" reply="69" id="3868957"] Hey! I am on Windows 11. [/quote] The menu you are looking for (Toolbar) is not supported by Windows 11.
I am running Windows 10 and the folder that appears in the native Windows 10 Start menu is the default for Windows 11. It is not the default for Windows 10. I don't know if it is being picked up from IconPackager or somewhere else in the OS. I do have the OS set to show thumbnails on files, but have show thumbnails on folders disabled using the following Registry key. <span style="font-family: Cali

Not sure I understand " Minimizing will defeat the purpose." You could assign a keyboard shortcut to a key on your keyboard to minimize the active window on the desktop. Windows key + Down Arrow = Minimize the active desktop window. To then open Task Manager on the desktop again, use the keyboard shortcut: W
After unloading Start11 using "Start10tweak" there is still a slight delay in closing Task Manager, however it is not as long of a delay as with Start11 enabled. I can see how this might get annoying if you are opening and closing the Task Manager multiple times during the day. Will simply minimizing the Task Manager screw up your benchmark testing process? Tested on Windows 10 build 19045.2194, Start11 ver. 1.31
Crazy! I went to test this today and it seems to be working as expected now!

Turn on "Show more tiles on start" to get four columns of medium icons or eight columns of small icons.

Start11 All Apps section in Windows 10 Style does not pick up the folders chosen in IconPackager, whereas the Windows 10 Start Menu does. The Start11 Windows 7 and Modern Styles do pick up the correct folder icon, where the Windows 10 and Windows 11 Styles do not. Does Start11 pick up the folder icon from a different location than the Windows 10 menu? Is there a way to correct this by making a change in the Registry?
