Known issues

While we appreciate all feedback, please remember that we offer no official support for beta \ preview \ developer channel versions of Windows. If you report issues while in any of those early release channels, you should not expect them to be addressed unless it still exists in a retail version of Windows.

Since installing this update on a multi-display setup my icons move to a different location every time I boot the machine.  I also get random results when I try to order the icons.  Sometimes they all just jump to spots of their own choosing.

The taskbar is at the top of display 3 as shown here.   

Hardware specs are: 

Processor	Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900 CPU @ 2.80GHz (2.80 GHz)
Installed RAM	64.0 GB (63.9 GB usable)
Graphics card	NVIDIA Quadro P4000 (8 GB)
Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 (128 MB)
Storage	715 GB of 3.18 TB used

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. First, Please try, uninstall Start11, reboot immediately (important), download latest version available in your account product download page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products. Install it, reboot immediately again. Retest it and report back.

If the issue still appear. Need few more details.

  1. Windows 10 or 11? Also need its full version and OS Build number.
  2. When you said "My icons move" its your desktop icons or your Start11 Start menu tiles? 
  3. Post a video or a screenshot might help us understand your issue.

Thank you,

Basj,
