If I were to guess, I would say it wants you to download and install Start11. I don't believe there have been any updates to Start10 since Start11 (Stable) was released.

I would assume that a lot of Start11 users are people who like to tweak their systems. These folks are probably more inclined to run Insider versions. There seems to be a lot of bug reports from Insider Beta and Development version users in this forum. I respect and stand by your stance on support for Insider versions, but maybe it would be useful to have a separate thread for these users to report bugs. This would only be a place to report bugs and issues to the development team, not a place

Here is a set shortcut icons I created for Windows 11 Settings. A "How To" document is included with directions on creating shortcuts to Windows 11 Settings. https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/icons/4749/ Hope this helps. [e digicons]B)[/e] pelaird

[quote who="dandaze" reply="4" id="3866294"] Thank you again for your reply. Yes, the "select all" works... but the "option" box is not allow to open up if more than one selection is made. Select all does select everthing, but the option box is needed to un-select the icons as favorites. If DeskScapes would allow the options to open and operate when more than one object is selected.. then it would all be very simple. Regards, Dan Carignan<br /

[quote who="ldeveraux" reply="23" id="3866574"] Unfortunately just like every version so far, I still cannot drag icons from the Start11 menu to the desktop with Windows 10 Style. RUnning Start11 1.31 beta and latest Windows 11 Pro. Dragging just pins it to the start menu. Does anyone even care about this beside me? [/quote] Right click and select "more" and then "Create shortcut on desktop." Not exactly what you are asking for, but still very easy.

The pull down menu for shortcut size changes if you hover over it an scroll with the mouse wheel. I accidentally change this from time to time when scrolling the settings window. Just be sure to check this setting before you close the settings app.

I assume you are referring to Animated Backgrounds (Dreams) when you refer to "motion/video." I am running Windows 10 Pro 19045.2075 and have been running DeskScapes 11 (ver. 10.96, 11 beta 5) for more than a year and have not experienced this issue. There is no reason DeskScapes 11 should be using an inordinate amount of Network resources. It is more likely that something with your system configuration is in conflict with DeskScapes 11 causing this issue. Have you tried disab

I have been using Groupy since December of 2018 through multiple Windows 10 OS upgrades without any issues. I am currently running Windows 10 Pro 19045.2075. Your issues could be a corrupted installation of Groupy or a compatibility issue with another app you are running. As a first step, I would also suggest a purge and re-install as basj suggests. Important! Run the purge and then reboot your computer; install Groupy from a fresh download from your account; and this is really import

Fixed!!!! Thank you for your quick attention to this issue.

Windows 10 Pro 19045.2075; using the Start11 Windows 10 Style menu I installed the Start 11 ver. 1.26 beta over 1.25 Stable today. After the reboot, half of my Start Menu icons were missing and I was unable to re-pin them from the All Apps section of the start menu. I had created a Restore Point before the install, and after restoring to the previous state before the 1.26 install, the same Start Menu icons were still missing, but I now was able to re-pin them.

In the current Beta of DeskScapes (10.96; ver. 11 Beta 5) , when you delete a Dream by right clicking and then "Delete background" in the Options menu, a placeholder for the background continues to exist in the Recent Backgrounds and Recently Installed sections. This is very annoying. Please, please, please address this issue in the final release.[e digicons]

Make sure you haven't accidently checked this setting. If all else fails, purge and reinstall!

[quote]Another option would be to have a controller in the systray that isn't so dependent on the context menu. [/quote] Look in the Setting on the Advanced tab. Once the DeskScapes icon is in the system tray, you can right click it and either Pause DeskScapes or Configure DeskScapes.

I can confirm that I am also unable to pin the File Explorer to the taskbar, but I'm also running Windows 11 Pro Developer's edition 22H2 build 25182.1000. As a workaround you can pin File Explorer to the taskbar from the Windows 11 Start menu.

I am running Windows 10 22H2 19045.1865 on my everyday work machine. I tested your issue on my device and there is definitely a lag when closing the Task Manager, and I mean no disrespect, but it is less than 1/2 a second and your gripe seems pretty petty. If you open and close the Task Manager 20 times every day, that costs you 10 seconds, if that, for the day. Yes it would be nice if it closed instantly, but this lag shouldn't be a deal breaker for using Start11 with the Auto Hide taskbar t

[quote who="4rtz1z" reply="11" id="3859849"] any progress ? [/quote] From Neil Banfield on July 29 in the "Is Groupy Dead?" post; https://forums.stardock.com/513615/page/1/#3859775 "Groupy is next in the queue once we have a WB11 beta out there."

Once you have your style picked as Windows 10, make sure you have "Use Windows 11 style icons" turned off and "Show app list in start menu" turned on in the Start11 Advanced Configuration settings. You can now right click start menu icons and set their size, turn on or off text, and change the color of the tile background. With the settings below, your start menu should look like the Windows 10 start menu. Play around with these settings and tweak your start menu the way you like it.
