just wanted to quickly update. I've had the touchscreen setting turned off for a week and a half and that line hasn't appeared at all, so it looks like that's what was causing the problem. Thanks for all your help!
I think the taskbar setting had something to do with it, occasionally (maybe once a week at most) I use an android tablet as a second screen, which is a touch screen. I wonder if it was caching something relating to that causing it to mess up. I've just turned it to disable touch screen mode, if I still have problems I will try the sfc and DISM. Thanks!!
well it was working right for a while, and then windows did an update and now it's doing the same thing again
I know as soon as I send this it'll change, but it seems so far that installing the beta version has solved my issue. I'll reply here if anything changes though. Thanks for your help!
I have followed your instructions to install the beta version and update you when I find out whether or not it's solved the problem. I will probably wait until I've turned my laptop on a few times to be sure
If it was a consistent issue that happened every time, I can see how that would help. The fact that once everything was re enabled it didn't happen on the next restart makes it hard for me to understand how that will work though, because by that logic, it should have done it again with everything re enabled. Is there something I'm missing?
I went back in and took it out of clean boot by re enabling everything that was disabled and restarted and it's working correctly, which when I turned my laptop on the first time this morning it did have the line. where it's not a consistent issue, I'm no sure how definitive that is though
well after doing that the line didn't appear that time I started it, but start11 didn't work at all, and the stock start menu persisted, even after restarting. I had to go back in config and re enable just the start11 and then restart for start11 to work.
if this is another application running in the background controlling the taskbar, then it's a windows 11 thing that's installed with the OS. Start11 was one of the first things I installed when I set this laptop up when I got it. where it's became an inconsistent issue that doesn't happen every single time I start my laptop, I'm unsure of how revealing installing on a Sandbox will be, as it's not guaranteed that it would've happened anyway. Is there a Windows 11 app I ca
it does get rid of the line, but it makes the start button the default one. Am I going to have to do that every time I start my computer?
Yes each time it does this I have to turn start 11 off and on again for it to go back to normal. I don't have any other programs that would alter the start menu or task bar
so it has done it again (it's sometimes been inconsistent) and I finally remembered to get a screenshot of it, and had time to reply here. 1. Windows 11 Pro Version 24H2 OS build 26100.4652 2. Start11 version 2.53, and I just double checked that it's the latest version (according to the checker in the app) 3. The line through the icons is very thin, but is most noticeable through explorer, and you can see the behavior of the start button. <img
I finally had a chance to do the uninstall, reboot, download, install, reboot and will update you if it happens again with the other information. Thanks!
I will try that, thanks
Every time I restart my computer I have a horizontal line running through my icons on my toolbar, and my start button is half the new start11 option, and the top half is the original windows start button. The start menu still works how it should with start11 on, and I can get it to look right by turning start11 off and then back on again. Is this a common problem, or is there a way to fix it so I don't have to turn it off and on again? Moved to Start Menu Products ar
