[quote who="c242" reply="15" id="3957653"] There where times when this site used to be sort of a tech site with tech driven people. It mostly has grown to old or not so old men lamenting about the 'good' old times of windows 7/10 and keeping their steam driven tech as long as possible. [e digicons];P[/e] [/quote] I think you have gotten the wrong impression here. Windows 10 is a very stable and powerful OS. Many tests have been done to see if Windows 11 is actually faster

Here is the support page for Start11v2. This will get you started, and then ask any other questions here in the forum. https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1995800603/Start11+v2+UI

[quote who="jimvaughan" reply="73" id="3957935"] I cannot find the option to center the taskbar icons in 2.5. Windows 11 [Version 10.0.26100.2894] [/quote] If you're talking about the vertical taskbar, it's in the Enhanced taskbar settings>Additional settings.

If you have Logitech Flow compatible devices (mouse & keyboard), you should be able to control both computers using the Logo Options+ software. If you want to use Multiplicity, just download the 30 day free trial and, as Doc says, play around with it and see if it does what you want it to do.

Windows 11 Pro should always remember the window size and position of the last place it was open. If you move it, then it will remember that position. You could try Microsoft PowerToys, FancyZones. It's a very powerful and customizable module of PowerToys to organize window size and position on your screen. It's available in the Microsoft Store. Check it out.

Glad we were able to help you. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

I can confirm that trying to change the icon for Quick Access shortcuts in the Start11 Config app doesn't seem to work. Try right-clicking on the shortcut in the start11 menu and select "Pick custom icon..."

[quote who="pelaird" reply="35" id="3950228"] I read yesterday where Microsoft is planning to integrate Copilot into Microsoft 365 Personal and Family whether you like it or not, and raise the price to everyone. They have already done this in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. "In Australia, for example, one user reported that the cost of their subscription had risen to $AU179 this week; the previous price was AU$139." I guess this is

[quote who="mikemintonsy" reply="12" id="3957762"] My profile pic does show in other apps that use it, and on the default start menu - which is what is throwing me - what group policies do you think may be the root cause? Does anyone have any experience as this could be a minfield? [/quote] If your picture is showing in the Default Windows start menu, it's probably not related to a Group policy setting. I would suggest that you follow Basj's instructions in Reply #13.

[quote who="StickyFrog" reply="36" id="3957709"] Quoting SShishi, reply 34 I verified the SHA256 checksum of the v2.11 installer from UtoD but would like to see if someone who has downloaded it from StarDock (or StarDock's team) can verify if it's the same in case I do end up needing to go that route?

Your IT department may have a Group policy preventing this. Does it show in the Windows 11 default start menu, or other apps that use the Microsoft avatar?

That’s the avatar that should show in the start menu. How about if you try some of the other menu styles, do you see it then?

[quote who="mikemintonsy" reply="6" id="3957593"] OK - my device is a works computer and the user account is on 365. [/quote] Okay, when you say a 365 Account, are you talking about a Windows 365 Cloud PC? What do you see on this page?

Did you check to see how the Start11 Control settings are set for this user?

Try restarting Explorer and see if it changes. I have found it's best to change the folder icon before pinning it to the taskbar.

[quote who="DarioMartin" reply="12" id="3957482"] Evening all. Have just installed StarDock Start 11 v2.5 and tried the experimental vertical taskbar, aligned left. no luck. After Explorer restart, taskbar reappears at default position at bottom of screen. Enhanced taskbar is ON. Align Top works, but align left or align right leaves the taskbar in default position at bottom of screen Windows 11 23H2 (Build 22631.4602) Are ther

[quote who="PhoenixRising1" reply="10" id="3957479"] Quoting pelaird, reply 9 If I set the Icon size, Button width, and Button height all back to the defaults, the Taskbar size settings works for me on 22635.4660. You are correct. That does work for me. They all have to be set to "default" for it to work [/quote

After changing your avatar, you might need to clear the cache on your browser to see the change.

[quote who="PhoenixRising1" reply="8" id="3957473"] "Taskbar size" in "advanced taskbar tweaks" simply no longer works at all [/quote] If I set the Icon size, Button width, and Button height all back to the defaults, the Taskbar size settings works for me on 22635.4660.

There is a placeholder where the All Apps text was removed from the Windows 10 style menu, that highlights and when clicked opens the "rolodex" listing. Windows 11 Pro - 22635.4660; Start11v2 - 2.5.0.0

The custom start button flicker has been resolved, but if you don't have an app open or pinned to the taskbar, the default Windows 11 start button is used. If you hide the start button on Primary monitor, if you don't have an app open or pinned to the taskbar, the default Windows start button is displayed, but does not work. If an app is open or pinned to the taskbar, the start button is hidden. There seems to be an issue related to whether an app is open or pinned to the task
