[quote who="Ward Holland" reply="3996911" id="542079"] Thank you! Thank you!! I didn't know that I needed this app until I saw it. Seriously, this is why I love Stardock. Low-level Windows enhancements that provide so much to the experience. I've been a Stardock fan since the IBM OS2 Warp days. You are much appreciated. [/quote] Glad we could make you happy. If when using it you find something you thin

[quote who="ppetroff60" reply="3996912" id="542167"] The program has a folder called "Languages". It is possible to edit the translation into your native language, as sometimes there are some inaccuracies in the translation. I hope that this will not be a violation of the copyright of the creators of the program? I believe that any program should have a folder with languages so that the user can choose! [/quote] The language files are text files in the Lang folder.&nbs

[quote who="GeekWithKids" reply="3996895" id="542167"] Looks great, going to use it and see how it goes. Only comment so far is that installed PWA show up as sub windows of the browser and not their own entry. [/quote] Thanks for the bug report, we will look into why this is the case.

[quote who="Roberthx" reply="3996908" id="541152"] Hello Neil, sadly, no. I used CPU-Z with Driver Cloud to install the latest drivers. The graphics card RTX 5060Ti is a few months old, and it happens only in the browsers turning black, or the entire screens go black, then go back to normal after about 5 seconds or stays black, forcing me to restart. Since I uninstalled Stardock, I have not seen any of these issues thus far. I did give feedback when I noticed t

If your screen goes black it sounds like your video drivers or the DWM is crashing out.

Reply to Start11 v2 Release (2.74) Feedback in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

[quote who="chimpmatrix" reply="3996703" id="542077"] Hi SD devs, Had some issues with the taskbar replacement in Start11 for a few months; couldn't pin down a specific cause, so I've reverted to the Windows default for now. Pinned packaged apps will not launch from the Start11 taskbar. Left-clicking a pin that activates via AppUserModelID, such as Notepad, Outlook (new), or Claude Desktop, opens a file manager window at This PC instead of launching the

Reply to DeskScapes 2026 (26.0.1.1) Release Feedback in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

[quote who="pelaird" reply="3996771" id="542070"] I'm still experiencing DeskScapes 2026 not surviving an Explorer restart. However, once I right-click the desktop and select "Show more options..." DeskScapes starts. My system is Windows 11 Pro - 26200.8973; and DeskScapes 26.0.1.1 [/quote] Are you sure the service is starting up as that would typically be the reason.

Reply to [Start11] v2.74 Task Tray Icons Non-Responsive in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Can you try uninstalling, REBOOTING and then reinstalling as it may be the files were not correctly replaced. The reboot in between is critical. If it continues after that we would like to know what your monitor setup is (positions of monitors, count of them), and what build of Windows 11.

Reply to Start button not centered on all moniters in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Are you sure you 100% sure you are using 2.74 as thats behaviour from earlier versions of Start11 which was changed a long time ago. You must have enhanced taskbar enabled as the config UI is showing the options to hide buttons which isn't offered without enhanced taskbar.

Reply to Seamless Display Failing in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

Do you use anything like TailScale (so VPN like)? What does it say on the message about the connection failure, does it list an IP address it tried? If so is that right? This would typically mean a firewall issue on the primary end.

Reply to Fall Guys unplayable 6 FPS since last Easy Anti Cheat EAC Update in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

How sure are you that it is trying to pull in wbload2.dll? wbload.dll would be normal but not wbload2.dll which would only be used by web browsers. It is not possible for us to run an app exclusion before load as thats purely OS level and OS limitations prevent an entirely clean unhook until sign out. EAC just needs to white list wbload.dll (or wbload2.dll apparently in this case?) These files are Stardock signed. Anything installing hooks is liable to hit

You need to update to 2.74 for the Taskbar Pins page to work correctly for this due to a small OS change causing issues.
