[quote] I setup my programs in their own little areas but every so often (too often to waste anymore time) the background colour of the desktop would go to black or explorer would hang needing a reboot. [/quote] Are you using Windows 10 or Windows 11? What OD programs did you have installed?
[quote who="pelaird" reply="3" id="3839278"] Try this. Drop a copy of your shortcut into "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" and then restart Windows Explorer. After the restart go to the Start11 Start Menu "All Apps" and see if your shortcut is there. If it is, just pin to Start11. [/quote] - edit Thanks Pelaird, I tested your method... On my second attempt this method does in fact work
By itself I have not yet found an option for this. However, if you happen to have fences 4 you can add webdcuments to a fence on your desktop and then choose the option "insert fence" into the start menu. The links in fences will then show up on the start 11 menu. Personally, I have a whole list of webdocuments done this way.
Windowblinds 10 is is not compatible with windows 11 and was made specifically for Windows 10 Later this year Windowblinds 11 will be released which will be specifically designed for Windows 11 However, If you would like I have found a way to make Windows 11 download and install the Windows 10 taskbar and explorer. By doing this you will not have the crash issue and will have the taskbar function but would have to use Windows 10 explorer and taskbar instead of Windows 11's. Th
[quote who="davelorde" reply="30" id="3839221"] Yes, it is set to auto-hide. But I don't see why that means it will hide its own drop-down thumbnail captions [/quote] These bugs are a causality of new code Microsoft implemented in their last update that broke the way the taskbar behaved when placed on the top of the screen. I am pretty sure the new code was put in to make way for Microsoft big update this year. The good news is that no new new bugs have been found in

This is a good recommendation. More options with app icons would improve the start menu experience.
I have tried uxthemepatcher and I really did want to like it. However, it seems to have a strict policy that requires the use of startallback to work. If I was able to get uxthemepatcher to work with explorerpatcher I would probably view it more favorably. My position is that start 11 is a way better start menu program over startallback and I feel like I am sliding backwards if I am forced to use startallback. Using Windows 11, I actually do not really have a desire to use the windows

I read it wrong. I thought he was talking about the custom pictures inside of the menu not the button. My mistake.
The picture should be about the same size as the start menu / taskbar. Pictures can be both resized and cropped to fit using the built in Microsoft photo editor. When you open up the picture just kind of compare it's size to whatever you have adjusted as your start menu size. If a picture is 1/2 the size of your taskbar that is an easy fix, either crop or resize the photo's height by 1/2. To Crop go to edit image <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/71/1/7101097/9654b528-9
[quote who="naroon1" reply="163" id="3839059"] Never knew MS owned GitHub, with so much useful toys, and there are loads of Warez stuff on GitHub too like the L3 Widevine Decrypter for Ripping content from Netflix , Amazon etc.. MS either turn a blind eye or do not care, loads more stuff there too which would be considered Warez, or allows through some of there files do warez things.

Yes. From Github https://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bathttps://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat (Note) Microsoft has stated that they may not allow pc's to receive updates at some point if a pc is updated using this method.
Hello, You can increase the amount of pins which takes it up to 8 small pins or 4 medium pins as shown above. But you are correct that there is not a current way to decrease the number of pins to 3. Although you can play with the icon sizes to make 3 medium pins look pretty small.
[quote who="naroon1" reply="151" id="3838976"] All my Win11 machines have the github mod which allows you to install without the TPM Module, it is a small reg fix but has also been included in OSs released by some groups.

But it is a testament with programs like TPM module and explorerpatcher that Microsoft isn't tampering with the ambitious young

Windows version 22557.1 (aka latest DEV build) seems to be fully compatible with start 11 [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
On a plus note it does look like Sun Valley 2 has been released on the Windows 11 DEV channel as of yesterday. That should provide a more stable framework to move forward and actually develop things for Windows 11 without worrying about so many changes.

Xewafa actually was on topic as I was trying to converse with him. I think where he went wrong is by bringing up the 2023 typo. We have spent a lot of time on that being a typo already I suppose it is possible he missed that conversation. This will be comment 508 on this thread after all. We should always welcome in more people to discuss this topic.

Did this happen after the latest windows 10 / 11 updates that dropped a couple of days ago? It could be a new bug particularly with Windows 11 updates. You could try rolling back the update and see if that fixes it. And if it does report the bug for windows compatibility.
