Triple 1440p monitors, Win11.

I like to show text for open apps in the taskbar, but I also want to have the start button centred. This worked before the Windows update (and a few Start11 versions ago).

Now I can have the labels and start button on the left OR no labels and a centred button. I know the option to centre the start button shows "as experimental" in the settings, but it would be great if that ability returned.

Please 2 requests again in Windows 10 style:

1) Drag icon from start menu to desktop

2) Ability to change the default size of pinned icons. No matter what I select within the configuration options, it always pins 'Medium'

I cannot reproduce your issue on my system, I'd suggest uninstalling S11, reboot, and reinstall from a fresh download (almost make sure you are not running any other similar products)

It is not recommended to use Microsoft internal builds.  I would strongly recommend unless you have actual need to revert back to release builds when possible.

That said 1.43 was updated to resolve this.

I deactivated my current installation, uninstalled and told it to remove everything including settings, rebooted.  Installed using the latest 1.4.3_j303build posted here.  So far so good.  I entered my license key and reactivated, opened the settings.   I set the first tab to "Windows 10 style" for the start menu, "Use Start11 Start Menu" option is enabled.  Next I clicked on Taskbar on the left side, I enabled the option for "Let Start11 enhance the taskbar" and "Toolbar buttons should be combined..." to "NEVER" option.  This is what my screen looks like:

Single screen setup, 3840x12160(recommended) resolution, scaling is set to 150%,. in the windows settings under scaling, (recommended) is next to 250% which just makes everything on my screen huge and unusable, I have tried setting it to 175% 125%, and there is little change, but at this point it's worse than before I re-installed.

That's fantastic, what can I do about it?

Hi

Ever since the windows 11 taskbar update a few weeks ago, ive been having this issue with the notification panel appearing on the left side of the screen whilst using start11 enhanced taskbar option.

I originally had this problem with 1.41. I have since tested 1.42beta and now 1.43beta. The problem continues to exist.

I did raise this issue on the forum a few weeks ago when i first noticed it happening. But the issue was dismissed based on the idea that start11 doesnt affect the notification panel. However after further tests im certain start11 is causing this issue.

Prior to the windows 11 taskbar update i never used the enhanced taskbar option in start11. The only reason i use it now is because its the only way to make the taskbar size smaller since the windows 11 update. Im not sure if the taskbar size being set to small has anything to do it the problem. All i know is the problem only occurs when enhanced taskbar is enabled, and if i disable enhanced taskbar then the problem is fixed and doesnt return unless i re-enable enhanced taskbar again.

Ive tried googling the problem and struggle to find anything about what causes the notification panel to appear on the left side of the screen, until recently. I found another person who has the exact same problem as me, except he is using a different piece of software called StartAllBack which i beleive does a similar job as start11 does. Here is a link the the post with the problem on that software just to show it does exist https://www.elevenforum.com/t/change-windows-11-notification-panel-position.5821/

Id love to see the problem be fixed or atleast acknowledged because it bugs the hell out of me.

I am currently using 1.43 however i updated from 1.42. I will uninstall and reinstall to see if that works though. Thanks
