Have you tried the latest Beta 11.0.2.0? I think this version fixed that issue.

Reply to Does Start11 allow you to show all system tray icons (in Windows 11)? in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

What version of Windows 11 are you using? What you show in your screenshot is the normal behavior of Windows 11 23H2. Got to Windows Settings Personalize>Taskbar>Other system tray icons, and turn everything on or, click the overflow arrow and drag the apps to the taskbar. There is no longer a Show All setting. Also, if you have alignment set to Left, the Widget icon displays to the right by the System tray.

Leave it to Zac Bowden to provide a comprehensive story. As I have said before, "Timeline" never was really accepted by the Windows 10 base. Why would Recall (Timeline on steroids) be any different.

It sounds like Microsoft has capitulated after all the criticism by security experts and made "Recall" an opt-in feature. They have also adopted new security measures. Recall data will remain encrypted on the local device until authenticated with Windows Hello.

Stardock is well aware of Explorer Patcher. It relies on old Windows 10 code which is still resides in Windows 11, however, this code will be deprecated in Windows 11 24H2, and EP will no longer work. Start11 allows putting the taskbar at the top, but not the right or left.

Reply to Windows 11 24H2 Controversial New "Recall" Feature in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

I did post a suggestion (below) to set the default for "Recall" to OFF. We'll see how many upvotes it gets in the next few weeks. I'll let you guys know. Please make OFF the default setting for "Recall" I just don't understand why ON is the default setting for "Recall." This is such a controversial addition to Windows 11, and there are way to many privacy concerns, especially for users who will never be aware that it is on.

I just don't understand why they want to make "ON" the default setting! I'm headed the Feedback Hub to upvote as many listings as possible. EDIT: Surprisingly, there were mostly users wanting access to "Recall" without a Copilot+ PC. I guess we are the minority here.

from TECHSPOT 06/04/2024 Security researcher Kevin Beaumont says... "Windows Recall stores its data in a wide-open SQLite plaintext database. While it is true that this is encrypted while logged out of Windows, this only protects it from someone physically stealing your computer, which Beaumont points out is not how hackers generally conduct their business. On the contrary, Recall is highly vulnerable to "InfoStealer trojans." Additionally, Recall does not censor or o

If you have Start11v2 running, you need to change the taskbar color using the Start11v2 settings, not Windows settings.

I select an alternative color, reboot Explorer--after the rebooting, the taskbar appears in the new color for a second, then returns to black. It's as if something has overridden Start11's change.
