Stardock announced Start11 v2 and the release preview of the industry's most advanced Start menu, today. This program allows users to fully customize the Windows 10 and 11 Start menu experience with unique features, designs, and restore classic functionality from previous versions of Windows.
New with Start11 v2 are three new Start menu styles that seamlessly blend with Windows 10 and 11. Each new style is centered around a different theme: Apps, Professional, and Launcher, and are fully customizable from top to bottom.
Start11 v2 is also enhancing the taskbar with new functionality that makes it faster to access your files and folders. With this release, you can now pin a file or folder directly to the taskbar without having to open File Explorer. And if you want to build your own quick access menu, you can turn a folder into a popup menu for quick access to frequently used files directly from the taskbar.

they started on a "windows version = startx version" but now without any communication changed that. i think thats what gets to me the most. so when win12 comes out and they "fix" 1 or 2 things they gonna launch start12 then right? as was pointed out the start11v1 to start11v2 was a bigger changelog than start8 to start11 even.
with win12 will it be start12 or start11v3 then?
i dont agree with "fixes" being a cause for the upgrade.
and everyone that goes on about "its only 6 bucks" or whatever.. you do realise its more than just the money right? as far as i can remember.. there also wasnt a "discount" for v1 clients. it was simply a discount for when v2 launched. (that are you eligible box was misleading)
In my opinion, start 11v2 is a smart move by stardock. Windows 11 has been catching up, the start menu is better and the taskbar is getting better. When hudson valley is released the task bar and start menu will only get better, so it is good that Stardock is staying ahead of the game. This is all a welcome change in strategy from what we saw with start 10; Microsoft may have had start 10 beat in terms of innovation. With start 11 Stardock has been on their game with lots of innovation that we have never seen before. Unfortunately with innovation there comes a higher price which is why version 2 came out as a paid upgrade. It was a lot of work to develop.
As for Start 12, it depends on what exactly we are going to get from Hudson valley. Hudson Valley which will be released next year and may be Windows 12 or it may still be windows 11. It may have a new taskbar or the new taskbar may be scrapped. This unknown has to be really hard for a company like stardock to maneuver because it is not even known if start 12 needs to be developed at all yet. But if it does, it will likely be another paid upgrade... And if it is I do expect Stardock to try and stay ahead of Microsoft on it with even more innovations.

Help! I am trying to use Start11, latest version, 30 day free. Specifics:
Have new Win10. Want to be like Win7. Taskbar on both is vertical on left side and I can control width.
Win7: Icons only, no text, and number of icons placed horizontally increases as I widen bar.
Win10: Only ONE app horizontally, no text when not selected, includes vertical line and text when selected.
Questions:
1. How to get 10 like 7?
2. How and when do I see success (only after restart of OS, or ...)?
Hello,
If you on Windows 10, than vertical taskbar should not be an issue, you can hide text with Windows taskbar setting at Combine taskbar buttons to "Always, hide label". Effect of change should be immediately.

Hello, I have been buying Object Desktop for years and in fact I only use Start11 and Fence.
I must conclude that, despite it being indicated that this V2 version is included with the package I still have to pay extra for this specific version?

Je viens de tlcharger et installer la version du lien que vous m'avez propos et il continue me proposer de payer.
I got that same, exact message when I upgraded my Start11 to version 1.5 today. Although I am using Windows 10 and really have no need for the product, I thought it would still be a free upgrade with my subscription. I just extended my subscription the other day (Jan 27th, 2024), so I thought the message was somewhat strange.

I just upgraded to Start11V2 so that I could use tabs in my start menu. My PC runs Windows 11, I have been using the Stardock Windows 10 Start Menu option, and have 10 groups of items. I tried to change my start menu to the new Windows Pro to use tabs, and only four of my groups show up. Why can I not see the other 6 groups? Do I have to go in and create all new groups on blank tabs?????? Where did my groups go?

Start11 maintains groups for Win10 and Win11/Pro/App/Launcher style separately because Windows 10 has different rules to the others (such as 6/8 items wide, groups side by side etc) and entirely different painting styles. The Win11 etc styles all share the same groups as they share the same rules.
oops - I can get tabs with Win 10 menu style. It depends upon WHERE one right clicks. I have to click inside one of the groups, but not on an icon. There really should be better directions on your web site and menu style selection window. This is crazy having to figure all this out trial and error style.
Bonjour, j'ai bien rcupr et install la dernire version mais pour moi qui n'ai actuellement pas de temps y consacrer c'est une vritable catastrophe. Toute ma configuration prcdente a disparu, je n'arrive plus retrouver ma disposition prcdente, je ne vois absolument rien comme amlioration par rapport la version prcdente et encore pire chaque dmarrage de mon PC a revient relancer la configuration de Start11v2 que je dois fermer systmatiquement et Quels que soient les changements que j'essaie de faire (en aveugle puisqu'aucune doc visible) de toute faon le dmarrage suivant il repart sur la configuration prcdente. Comment revenir la version avant la v2 pour l'instant le temps que tout a se stabilise. J'ai bien cherch sur votre site mais il est clairement orient pour amener tout le monde sur cette version et je ne trouve pas, malgr mes recherches, une page qui permettrait de rcuprer les anciennes versions. Cela existe sur votre site ?
Merci
Hello, I have recovered and installed the latest version but for me who currently do not have time to devote to it it is a real disaster. All my previous configuration has disappeared, I can no longer find my previous layout, I see absolutely nothing as an improvement compared to the previous version and even worse each time I start my PC it amounts to restarting the Start11v2 configuration that I have to close systematically and whatever changes I try to make (blindly since no visible doc) in any case the next startup it goes back to the previous configuration. How to go back to the version before v2 for now while everything stabilizes. I have searched carefully on your site but it is clearly oriented to bring everyone to this version and I cannot find, despite my searches, a page which would allow you to recover the old versions. Does this exist on your site?
THANKS
