Start11 - Taskbar on other monitors freeze

The whole taskbar freezes up on all other monitors

from Stardock Forums

Hi there,

Info:
Start11: v1.2
Windows: 11 Pro (v 10.0.22000 Build 22000)
Menu location: Align Top
Start11 Menu: Off
Start button: Off
Search: Off
Control: Default

Problem:
The whole taskbar freezes on all non primary monitors (I have a total of 4 monitors) this can happen minutes apart, there seems to be no specific action that triggers it, I have tried to disable most features of Start11 with no change..

How to temporarily fix it:
To unfreeze it, I have to right click the primary taskbar, nothing else helps!

Hope this can help with a solution
Kind regards
Niels

I think the best option in this case is to uninstall, REBOOT, and then install the 1.22 beta version. There has been some improvements made for multi monitors since the 1.2 release.

The taskbar on my second monitor is almost always frozen / not responding.

When this occurs the taskbar on my primary monitor is responsive except it cannot be resized (no resize mouse cursor).

Not sure if related but I have the taskbar on my primary monitor set to two rows high.

The 1.22 beta release seems to have fixed the problem - haven't seen it stop responding since upgrading to the beta.

I have now been running the beta for a few days with no issues regarding frozen taskbar :)
