Stardock will be closed for the week starting on Monday, June 29th and we will be returning on Monday, July 6th. We will be monitoring support tickets and forums during this time but expect delays in responses during this time.
To Whoever Might Be Looking At This Re the above suggestion for installing in Safe Mode. Fails to fix the issue. As detailed above, ver 2.11 doesn't create the issue - later versions do. Cheers Jim
Hello Basj Didn't go down that track, since the issue goes away with ver 2.11. See Reply #6 above for detail that points to something about the 2.53 ver causing the issue - at least on my machine. Maybe someone could look at what is different in the ver 2.53 code that could cause the failing to retain a selected Start Button.
Hello Basj Sorry - I was tired and missed who was who. Over to Neil please.
Hullo Basj In the standard location, i.e. Start Menu > Stardock > Start 11 > Start Button
Hello Basj Here is the probable cause. Uninstalled Start 11 ver2.53 that included the current update - removed all traces from the Registry and left over folders. Installed the V2 of Start 11 that dates back to Dec 2024, i.e. before the current update. No issue with the Start Button selected to Biohazzard, or any of the others. That points to some sort of issue with the current update - at least on my machine, which is a standard Windows 11 Pro s
Hello Basj No.
Hello Basj Thanks for the response. As posted above, Start 11 was the current version. It was installed clean by uninstalling the older version, removing all Stardock and Start 11 registry entries, removing left over Stardock folders from the installation drive, restarting the machine, then installing. Are there any known instances of this issue?
Start 11 ver 2.53 - Windows ver 24H2 build 26100.4770. Although another start button is set via the Start 11 Start button selection function, it is only retained for that session and reverts to the Windows default on the next start up. Nothing was changed in Start 11 apart from the Start Button selection. Don't see anything in the forum related to this. Didn't happen in earlier versions of Start 11. Any clues please?
