Releasing Start11 v1.43
Improvements for multimonitor support and touch input
Tuesday, April 4, 2023 by BradSams | Discussion: Start News
Today, we released Start11 v1.43. Within this update are improvements for users with dual monitors, touch input enhancements, and more.
The update is starting to roll out now for users who purchased the app directly from Stardock. If you don’t see it yet, you can find it by opening the configuration panel, clicking about, and searching for an update. For users who purchased Start11 on Steam, an update should be arriving in the next couple of days, too.
With this release, you will see improvements for scenarios that involve multiple monitors, enhancements for users who use touch-first navigation, and better alignment with the Winkey+X menu appearing in the desired location.
There is one new feature as well, but it’s a small one. If you are running Windows 11 22H2 with the Moment 2 update installed, small with wide icon spacing is a taskbar size option. As the name implies, it adds a bit of padding around the icons.
As with all of our releases, they first start out in our beta channel and typically go through several iterations before release. If you run into any hiccups with v1.43, please let us know in our feedback forum so that we can properly track any unintended scenarios with this release.
If you haven’t purchased Start11 yet, make sure to head on over to our app page which has all the details about the many features that make Start11 the industry’s most advanced Start menu.

Start 11 has stopped launching on Windows startup. If I shut down or have to reboot for any reason, once it’s back up and running, Start 11 will not launch until I manually launch it. There is no option to “start when Windows starts”

Reinstall start11. It installs a service that manages the startup and other things. It sounds like something bugged it out.

There has been a bug in start11 for quite some time with the right click menus. It's super noticeable under the windows 10 mode menu. When right clicking, the menu will freeze and not respond. It happens quite often. It did it on my windows 10 machines and my windows 11 machine. Can this be looked at. Thanks!

Still can't get a small taskbar.
Small taskbar mode requires no autohide mode, no touch enhanced taskbar and Start11 enhanced taskbar enabled.

Agreed it sounds like something has interfered with the service installation.
What antivirus do you use?

Weird, my AV never interfered with Start11 installs before. I use McAfee.
I'll try a clean re-install and see if that works

Well, after the update came today, I installed it, and it asked me to reboot to complete the install. When windows loaded, it instantly crashed, about the time when it typically loads start11 and at the same time as it tried to open discord. Not even a blue screen. It did that 3 times in a row, until boot recovery started, I entered safemode, and I turned off "let start11 enhance the takskbar" and rebooted. Now, it did boot, but I am scared of turning it back on.
I experienced a different taskbar software not working after the latest windows update cumulative patch continuously crashing explorer.exe , so I figure it was related to that. This OS however, is a clean less than two week old install, I have not tried any other taskbar/startbar software on this pc.
Windows 11 PRO 22H2 build 22623.1485
AMD Ryzen 7 7600X 64 GB ram
It may have been related to some AI overclock thing.

Windows 11 PRO 22H2 build 22623.1485
Is that a correct version number? What I see only 22621.1485. Well google can't find it. the "22623"
Thank you,

It should be 21, sorry, typo. I think the issue was due to an overclocking feature on the motherboard, and not the start11 software. I have enabled the features I previous disabled, and it works fine now.

Anyone use Start11 v1.43 on Microsoft Surface Pro in tablet mode?
In this mode, Start11 doesn't support "Align Top Taskbar" and "Small Taskbar Size." Correct?

If you have the touch optimized taskbar enabled in the OS then no as you have asked for a bottom aligned large autohide taskbar.
If you disable that option then the usual options will work.

So disabling "Optimize taskbar for touch..." will enable "Align Top Taskbar" and "Small Taskbar Size." Thanks.
