Reply to How do I go back to start 10? in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

I would recommend uninstalling Start11 first. If you don't, you risk having some Start11 registry entries hanging around to screw with Start10.

Reply to Start11 2.5 always opens on the same menu page in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

This feature was added for people who use multiple virtual desktops and have their apps/folders/files on separate start menu pages for each each virtual desktop. This way when they switch virtual desktops, the correct start menu page is shown for that desktop.

Are you using a custom start button? If not, try using a custom start button and see if it works.

Reply to Start 11 v2 2.5 only shows news/weather widget when positioned at the bottom. in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

With Top aligned taskbar, the widget will only show in "Left Aligned" or "Left start button and center aligned taskbar buttons." I don't believe it will show at all on the vertical taskbar.

Go to the page you want it to open and right-click>Open menu on this page for current desktop. Make sure to right-click on a blank area of the Start menu, not a tab.

Reply to Roll back Start 11 in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

I always perform updates by downloading the installers from my account download page https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products so that I have access to all the versions in case I need to roll back. I actually do this with all my software, because a lot of vendors don't publish old installers.

I believe Stardock is working on a fix for this, and it should be released in a new Beta this week. Keep an eye open in the Start11 2.5 Release Feedback Thread https://forums.stardock.com/533748/page/4/#3958219 for an announcement of the release.

Reply to Start11 v2.5 Beta Arrives with Vertical Taskbars in Start News Stardock Forums

[quote who="uz5m" reply="65" id="3958240"] I changed the size of taskbar to multiple rows, but the notification icon is still shown in one row, this is very inconvenient, hopefully this issue will be fixed in future version. [/quote] This is normal Windows 11 behavior. You can blame Microsoft for this one. This has been requested many times, but so far we have not seen anything. It may not be possible for Stardock to change this behavior.

Reply to Start11 v2.5 black icons on Modern UI Applications in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

If you see these same black icons in the other Stat11v2 styles, I would recommend you uninstall Start11; reboot; install Start11 from a fresh download from your account download page https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products ; and reboot again. Try this and report back.

If you go into the Windows settings "Apps > Installed apps," what do the icons look like? Also, open Run (Win+R) and enter "C:\Windows\explorer.exe Shell:AppsFolder" what do the icons look like here?

You probably should have uninstalled Start10 before installing Start11, but that's moot at this point. You might need to purge and reinstall. See this for instructions https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1349320730/Start+Menu+purging+and+re-installing

I may try a VM for the first time. I still have all the old installers for these OS's. I could also install old versions of Office. Sounds really fun.

Reply to Some questions before a potential purchase in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

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.

Reply to remember window size + position in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

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.

[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
