This is not a solution to your issue, but may help with moving the window when you can’t grab the title bar. PowerToys has introduced a new module in PowerToys 0.99.0 called Grab And Move. It allows you to move and resize windows by holding a modifier key ( Alt or ⊞ Win ) and dragging anywhere inside the window. Left-click drag moves the window, right-click drag resizes it from the nearest edge or corner—no need to a

I understand your frustration. Stardock Start11v2 requires updates in order to keep it compatible with the never ending Windows updates. If you stick to the Release versions and avoid Beta versions, you should not see that many updates, certainly not every few days. Stardock has always provided software support in the Stardock Software forums. There are many advanced users who are willing to help, as well as, the Stardock support rep. If none of these provide a solution to your issue,

This is a great new module, especially with large monitors, or multi monitor setups. Chec

[quote who="polish-undone-thee" reply="25" id="3992153"] no, not a registry entry, i've tried all the old reg bypasses and Start 11 was the only thing i found that worked (until today's update that is..) there was a setting in the taskbar options that hid them.. there is still a setting that says hide animations but it doesn't seem to have any effect....

[quote who="polish-undone-thee" reply="23" id="3992151"] The new update broke my ability to hide taskbar hover previews in windows 11 25H2, this now creates a conflict with my Object Dock software as the preview windows cover the Dock. Is there a way to go back to the previous version? It was working perfectly for me with no issues until the update today. [/quote] How were you hiding the taskbar thumbnails? Were you using the Stardock provided Registry Stri

Thanks for the reply. I’m glad to know this is the expected taskbar behavior, I just never noticed it before. As a test, I purged Start11v2 today and sure enough, this behavior is part of Windows 11. Again, thanks for letting me know. pelaird

I have recently noticed that if I have two, or more, windows of an app open, the taskbar icon background has a ghost background. I have tested this with the Enhanced taskbar on, and with it off. The ghost background appears in both. I have also deactivated Start11v2 using Start10tweak, and the ghost background still appears. I don't believ

This is very cool! I like the blend of modern with aged concepts. Addy Arapi is obviously a skilled commercial artist. Microsoft graphic designers are young with a recent graduation from college with a marketing or advertising degree instead of an art degree. Thanks for sharing.

The Change Log states on item 37 that there are four new strings. 37. Four new strings added I see three including 4., 9., and 25. Where is the fourth? Are the four new strings including these, or are there four additional strings?

[quote who="AzJazz1" reply="4" id="3991473"] I am having the same issue with Start11 v2.6. I will also try installing the v2.7 beta to see if it fixes this issue. [/quote] There was a new Beta released today 2.7.0.2 which I believe has some fixes for this issue.

Unless you saved the 2.5 installer on your system, you won't be able to downgrade to 2.5, as it is no longer available from Stardock.

There is not an option for this in ver 2 as there was in ver 1 where you had to hold the shift key to create folders. The reasoning was to make it work like the Windows 11 Start menu. You just have to be very deliberate when moving icons, and don't release the mouse button until you are sure it is not going to create a folder. A black circle with a white plus will appear when creating folders.

I don't normally download static wallpapers from within DeskScapes. I download them from the WinCustomize Wallpaper gallery, and then place them in the correct DeskScapes folder. This morning I ran a test by downloading a current wallpaper from within DeskScapes, and sure enough it was placed in the Dreams folder. This is with 11.2, so it seems this has been an issue for a while. I'm not sure when it started, as I haven't downloaded wallpapers from within DeskScapes for the last couple of yea
