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.

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.

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

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?
