Start 11 failing to launch on secondary monitor

from Stardock Forums

Windows Version Number: Windows 11 Version 25H2 (OS build 26200.9445)
App Version: 2.8

Hi there. I've noticed that Start 11 does seem to work on secondary monitors, specifically when the taskbar is set to the left side of the screen. It is working on the primary display, but only on the main display.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I can not reproduce your issue on my system. Please try, uninstall Start11v2, reboot immediately (important), download latest version available (v2.81 Beta) in your account product download page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products. Install it, reboot immediately again. Retest it and report back.

Need to know few more details.

  1. Start11 Enhance taskbar turn on or off?
  2. Taskbar auto hide turn on or off?
  3. Taskbar on the left edge for both monitors?
  4. Do you have any other 3rd party application controlling or changing something on your Taskbar?

Thank you,

An uninstall then reinstall did not fix the problem.

Start11 Enhance taskbar turn on or off? Off

Taskbar auto hide turn on or off? Off

Taskbar on the left edge for both monitors? Yes

Do you have any other 3rd party application controlling or changing something on your Taskbar? No.

It may be worth noting that the secondary monitor is set to "Vertical (flipped)"

Thanks.

Sorry, I just noticed that it's worth noting that the windows key launches a start 11 style start menu, but clicking on the windows logo on the taskbar doesn't.

This is what I see on my system.

Not sure what you mean by that. Is this Windows setting? or Start11 setting?

Thank you,

In the windows settings. To have the secondary monitor set to portrait as opposed to landscape.
