Owners can easily check for updates by accessing the Start11 v2 configuration panel, clicking on About, and searching for updates.
This long-requested functionality, previously available in earlier Windows versions, now includes full support for all Start menu design styles offered by the application. Notably, this release introduces vertical taskbars for Windows 11. While this feature has existed in earlier Windows versions, we are now integrating it into Windows 11, ensuring compatibility with all available Start menu design styles.
With this update, you can dock your taskbar on the left or right side of the monitor and multiple monitors are supported with independent locations. Meaning, on one monitor you can have the taskbar on the left and on another, on the right side of the display.
Personalization is at the heart of Start11 v2.5 and with this release, you now have the option to dock the taskbar on any side of your monitor as the previous versions of Start11 supported taskbars at the top of the display. And of course, you can dock the taskbar at the bottom of the display as that is the default experience in Windows 11.
Along with the new feature that is now rolling out to all v2 customers as free update, there are several bugs being squashed in this release.
Vertical taskbars have been highly requested by our community and we are happy to finally check this feature off the backlog. If you have any requests for upcoming features or find any bugs that we missed in our testing, make sure to join our community here.
