OK... I posted that too soon. I had to reboot my computer after installation. So it appears that version 2.72 has now solved the problem of launching multiple instances of programs pinned to the taskbar. May be worth the price of the upgrade... Maybe. But I'm concerned that we have to pay for a bug fix.

OK... This is really frustrating!! I just paid for an upgrade to Start11 Version 2.72, and it STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM!! How do we get some software support??
I was imprecise in my previous post... Here is what I'm using: Windows 11 Home, Version 25H2, OS Build 26200.8737 Stardock Software, Start11 Version 1.55 I am NOT using version 2 I tried turning back on the capability of Start11 to enhance the taskbar, but that simply reintroduced the problem. So turned it off again.
I have encountered the same problem. Start11 essentially sees two instances of anything on the task bar, and if you move the icons, it may launch two different programs; the one you want plus the one that used to be in that position. I solved the problem by turning off "Let Start11 enhance the taskbar." That is, set the On/Off button to Off. Then the task bar will operate as you would expect. Definitely a problem with the latest version of Start11!
