Hello, I don't know exactly what caused my problem. But the entry “4” causes the “Pinned” group to become invisible. 1. Disable the Start menu. 2. Remove entry “4” from the registry. 3. Enable the “Windows 11” Start menu style. => The “Pinned” group is visible again. [code="css"] Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stard
Thanks, I've figured that out myself in the meantime. I find the ‘Show on Desktop’ option a bit unclear. The word 'show' suggests it will display something, but actually, it creates a shortcut on the desktop instead
I think there's a misunderstanding. I don't know why the group disappeared. I can only make the disappeared group visible again. Just as I described. I offered to send you the backup files (before and after). Maybe that will help identify the problem or understand what might have gone wrong on my end. If you give me an email address, I can send you the files
Does the “Show on Desktop” option in context menu actually have a function? Never mind. I misunderstood. This shows how important a good translation is. I translated "Show on Desktop" as "Auf dem Desktop anzeigen". But in reality, it creates a shortcut on the desktop.
Thank you. The above problem concerns the tooltips for all links on the left-hand side. Above the user name, you can see that there is another untranslated line of text in the context menu. A line was also forgotten to be translated in the context menus of the shortcuts. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/foru
[quote who="basj" reply="3" id="3983360"]Those pinned items don't usually vanished by itself. Perhaps something went wrong, but unless you can somehow recreate the issue and get it recorded and post it here, we can learn more what actually gone wrong. Moving forward, it is best to do periodical backup of your setting so you always have some point to revert to when something like this happen. Thank you, Basj, Stardock Community Assistan
Hello, I have to compliment the translation of Start11, which is much better than that of Fences. But, on closer inspection, there are still some awkward phrases in the translation. Unfortunately, they seem to have forgotten to add the English strings for the shortcuts to the language file. They are probably hard-coded. <b
Hi pelaird, unbelievable, but true. Disabling and re-enabling this setting also made the missing group visible again.
[quote who="pelaird" reply="5" id="3983369"] Just to be sure... You could have accidentally moved the group to a new page. How many pages are shown at the bottom of your Stsart11 menu? This image shows that I have two pages (two dots). [/quote] Thank you, I saw that you can add more pages. I have now
Hi basj, I didn't delete the group, and if I'm not mistaken, you'll be asked again in that case. Is there a way to recover the icons from the default Windows 11 “Pinned” group if they say there is no way to recover the lost group?
My system: Edition: Windows 11 Pro Version: 25H2 Build: 26200.7171 Start11v2 ver. 2.56 If you have saved your setting, you can restore it via: Settings Backup -> Restore settings. (Start11v2) Unfortunately, that doesn’t help me anymore. I assumed that Stardock automatically created a backup. I didn’t expect entries to disappear from one moment to the next.
Hello, I thought what a great product. It's really well designed. But after a while, when setting up the groups, I noticed that it wasn't running very smoothly. It crashed completely once. What I also find annoying is that when I automatically add a shortcut to Start, it isn't added at the end. This means that the order of my symbols keeps getting mixed up. When I sorted the icons again, a group suddenly disappeared completely. How can I restore the “Pinned&r
Hello, I would like to inquire whether the issue with sorting using "Drag and Drop" for a large number of desktop shortcuts still persists or if it has been resolved. Best regards, Thomas
Now it has happened: my subscription expired today. The current version is 5.86, revision 8. When I first subscribed, Stardock Fences 5.0 was still in beta. I thoroughly tested the tool and reported a bug - repeatedly. Each time, I tested it with every new version. Unfortunately, after over 300 days, I’ve come to realize that the developers have not managed to fix it. Additionally, the "Save/Restore Backup" feature has worsened. I have no idea what motivated the developers to ma
Fences 5 expires in 30 days and the problem has still not been solved. I have created a rule that new games (links) are automatically placed in the corresponding fence. As a result, my sorting is always mixed up. I can search for the new link each time.
Release of Fences 5.8.4.7 Whether you call this problem an “issue” or a “BUG”, I don't really care. It hasn't been solved yet, even with the latest version. Which is a real shame. Perhaps this feature should be reprogrammed from scratch.
@Abisnabidam, The BUG has still not been fixed in version 5.82 Rev. 4. And why do I have to make an extra click to see the preview images of the backups? You write that the bug is reproducible. Why isn't it finally fixed? It can't be that diffic
I haven't given up hope yet, but it's about time that the BUG is finally fixed after so many weeks and months. In the meantime, several weeks have passed since the last beta.
[quote who="Dr W - Fences Support" reply="41" id="3938381"] Right right. I guess the question I'm thinking about is, I'd love to learn about your motivation for that being your home page. Do you use the backups feature often? And what for? Any images you might be able to share about how you make it useful in your workflow? Appreciated for the insight as we continue to develop the product 🙏 [/quote] My desk is already unti
[quote who="Dr W - Fences Support" reply="39" id="3938360"] Can you share more about what you mean about the backups being the start window for the Fences tool? Thank you [/quote] I don't mean anything special by that. When I open Fences, the first thing I see are the backups.
Thank you. I hope Stardock will undo this. The Layout option with the image thumbnails is my start window of the Fences tool. And I hope Stardock seriously fixes the icon sorting bug. The attempt to bypass the BUG with a rule also fails.
A s was to be feared, the bug has not yet been fixed with the latest update with Fences version 5.80 . A new error has appeared in the backups. Preview images are no longer displayed. &n
The default values for the german Windows 10 22H2 version are: IconSpacing= -1710 and IconVerticalSpacing= -1125
Hello Adam, I have to correct my information. The values given are from a tool that I used to read the values. Here are the values from the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics): IconSpacing=-1550 IconVerticalSpacing= -1275 Medium icons The icon size can only be changed with pressed CTRL key and mouse wheel when Fences is deactivated. I have changed the icon spacing to the default values for test purposes. If
[quote who="Abisnabidam" reply="30" id="3937575"] In that case, it appears we've both produced the same issue. We must be clear here: if you increase the width of the Fence to 7 shortcuts wide instead of 6-- this issue doesn't reproduce? Also, while we're at it, could you let us know your display resolution? [/quote] Hello Adam, increasing the width of a fence for 7 icons does not help. Only when 8 icons fit in a row can I drag an icon to the last position.
