from Stardock Forums

Hi there, my problem is that when I enable (let start11 enhance the taskbar ) my app icons badge disappears. I mean taskbar has stopped showing the icon badge ( notification numbers) and when I disabled (let start11 enhance the taskbar) icon badge (notifications numbers) returns to be shown in the taskbar. could you please fix it in the next update so the notifications numbers can be shown even if the taskbar enhancement is enabled

icon badge (start11 enhancement is disabled)

icon badge disappeared (start11 enhancement is enabled)

 

thanks in advance.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more information.

  1. Windows 10 or 11? And need its full version number. Use Winver.exe to get it.
  2. Start11 version no?

Thanks

What apps are showing the problem?

Notion, WhatsApp, Facebook I think any app has notification badges (numbers)

It would be normal for those to vanish when you start the enhanced mode after the apps are running as the information is not available to start11 from past events.

But I would expected them to work from the next time you sign in.  Is this not the case?

I am experiencing same issue. I have already restarted PC so the previously logged in whatsapp shouldn't matter. Should I create a new post for this?

This happens on the latest 2.56 of Start 11 on Windows 25H2 in Beta - build 26220.7271

When you toggle enhance taskbar for example in MS Teams the Red circle I have on my icon is blank - the outline is there but empty.  Similar to the Phone Link app it shows a + instead of the number of notifications.  Turn off the enhance taskbar and they come back.

FTR, I'm experiencing this problem as well. WhatsApp is the only badge I had activated, and it's not showing.  

I'm still evaluating Start11 (seems amazing!) since yesterday's Win 11 update blew out my former solution. 

Windows 11 Pro version 25H2, build 26200.8655 (Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.315.0)

Thank you!

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. I can't reproduce your issue on my system. Whatapps does show its message count badge on my system. 

Perhap, something not properly get installed. Please try, uninstall Start11, reboot immediately (important), download latest version available in your account product download page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products. Install it, reboot immediately again. Retest it and report back.

Thank you.
