Taskbar Replacement Crashes

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

I use Start11 to replace my Windows 11 taskbar functionality but am experiencing regular crashes so I ahve turned if off for now. When I first start it, it's fine but then over time the icons on the taskbar begin to disappear but i can still see the windows for each task as i hover over sections of the task bar and then that functionality stops and then it crashes. I can do a windbg capture for you but don't want to make it publicly available.  Is there someone I can share it with directly? Can I attach directly to the start11_64 process?

Thanks

Look like you don't have Sandbox in your system. Please try Cleanboot refer here for steps: https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1334935592/Start11+Clean+Boot. Do note that Clean boot need to be done with some care. Try it and report back.
