Hello! Please tell me how to make this menu (context menu of the Start button) more compact and change the font size?

 

That's the Win + X OS menu.  We have no control over the size or font used on that.

Context menues still going rogue time to time.

 

This context menu bug is really annoying. Almost unstoppable. 

The Start11 2.55 Beta has been updated.  For details, please see

As always, thank you for your time, feedback, and support. 

Is there any possibility to make the folder icons bigger? They look out of proportion compared to the medium icons I have setup. 

And perhaps a folder icons should be in a square line up until its more than 5 apps in the folder?

Unfortunately nobody has been able to reproduce any issues with portable apps.  The only explanation I can think of would be if they were installed on network drives or harddrives which have gone into power saving mode.

Thank you very much for the answer! I left here several times a video with this problem and it seems to me that everything is visible and clear ... Portable programs are located on the disk "D" (SSD) - this is a physical disk, and not a network and of course there is no disconnection of the power of these discs. The problem is reproduced wherever I tested this: my PC, a virtual machine with located portable programs on the disk "C", 2 laptops where the programs are also located on the disk "C". I also showed on the video that with my native menu, the start -up in my system does not have a problem with the labels of portable programs, the problem is only with your Start menu. So I do not know what and where you tested, but this problem is present everywhere. I am sorry for my time spent to provide detailed information, which no one has viewed ...

First, thank you very much for the massive improvements to the experimental vertical-aligned taskbar feature. Having to restart explorer.exe every 10-15 minutes or just kill it and work with  Powershell during high-load, because it was trying to nudge everything over and "rubber-banding" my displays, was a pain!

Now for the bugs!

• OS & Version: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro; Version 10.0.26.100 Build 26100

• Issues:

  • Issue #1: Clipping of preview boxes.
    • Suspected Cause: Unknown.
    • Steps to Recreate: Hover over taskbar icon of open app on the main display.
    • Result: 
  • Issue #2: Displacement of preview boxes (to far right?).
    • Suspected Cause: Unknown.
    • Steps to Recreate: Hover over taskbar icon of open app on a display to the right of the main display
    • Result: 
  • Issue #3: Non-display of preview boxes.
    • Suspected Cause: Unknown.
    • Steps to Recreate: As Issue #2 above, but hovering over any non-Windows app.
    • Result: No preview appears at all.
  • Issue #4: Displacement of preview boxes (to far left?).
    • Suspected Cause: Unknown.
    • Steps to Recreate: Hover over taskbar icon of open app on a display to the left of the main display.
    • Result: 
  • Issue #5: Non-display of taskbar.
    • Suspected Cause: Unknown.
    • Steps to Recreate: Set taskbar to auto-hide.
    • Result: Sometimes the taskbar will refuse to appear; this can be on a single display whilst it behaves normally on others. Even when pressing the Windows key to open the start menu on the affected display, the menu appears without the taskbar. The only way to overcome it is to press the Windows key to open the start menu on the affected display, then specifically click a blank area on the start menu; then the taskbar appears and will from that point on behave normally.
  • Issue #6: Non-display of taskbar and the feeling of increased load on the computer. Even dragging windows becomes jerky and sluggish.
    • Suspected Cause: Specific apps—in my case, it seems to happen when a Razer app first opens after either Windows starts up or a user logs in (I am the only user of this computer).
    • Steps to Recreate: On start-up or initial log in. I have tried recreating the issue by closing all Razer apps and relaunching one later, after having restarted explorer.exe, but it does not recreate the issue, so it might be an associated service or another service. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
    • Result: As set out in the issue text, above.

Edit: Note, the square-boxed cursor isn't an issue with anything; I just pasted an image of the cursor into my images to show where it was, because it wasn't captured by print screen. Lazy, but provides the intended information!

Hi Adam,

For #2–4, I'm not sure what more I can add, aside from an image of my display layout:

Also no idea for #5; as you say, it could very well be environment specific.

For #6, I was able to reproduce the issue when opening Photoshop. The only thing in common between Photoshop and Razer opening is the splash screen, but I've opened other applications without a splash screen without issue before. With Photoshop, however, the reaction is far worse. The taskbar continues to nudge the application over and over away from itself, resulting in quite the display:

Once Photoshop is closed or unmaximised, the visible glitch ceases, but setting a different application to maximised then recreates the rubberband issue, where that new window keeps getting nudged over and then resets itself, endlessly, until explorer.exe is restarted.

If, after that issue starts, I take all applications out of the maximised setting, the visible nudging stops, but the system continues to suffer a performance hit. I wonder if the behaviour is persisting but invisibly, such as the taskbar trying to 'nudge' the Windows screen snapping regions or something, but that is just speculation on my part.

The only other thing I can think to share is my Start11 configuration:
