Hi 

I have 2 issues possibly overlapping between WBlinds and Start 11

1) Centre section of taskbar kept disappearing after mainly playing old PC games , this was mainly dissipated by customising the games settings and creating exception in Advanced  settings of WB 

2) Right side of taskbar recently goes completely white as attached , again tried all settings in both products to  no avail

The is in latest windows 11 from 09/06/26

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Have you tried restarting explorer.exe on both of your issue and see if the proper parts reappear?

If that don't help, It looks like the issue you’re experiencing is specific to your system. Could you please start a new support thread for it? That way, we can assist you more directly without mixing it into the general reporting thread, which can get confusing.

We appreciate your understanding, and we’ll do our best to help you there.

Thank you,

Basj,

More a general question.
Would it be possible to mark the current task item in a different color ?
Even better would be the last 2 used Taskitem in a different color ?

I have many Firefox windows open, jumping to e.g. to explorer or to a different Firefox window and then I need to find the last Firefox window.

Latest Windows update broke Start11 enhanced taskbar. No possibility to click on anything after the arrow to extend the icon tray, no notifications, no control center. Very irritating. Please correct it. 

Version 25H2 (OS Build 26200.8737)
Small taskbar, centered.
EDIT: Forgot to write that I already uninstalled, rebooted, installed again the latest version of Start 11 and the problem still here

Thank you, in the meantime I had to uninstall the latest Windows update because I could not work like this. Without the latest update it works so it is certainly an issue with the latest Windows. I will try the link you provided later and will come back to comment

I am experiencing a visual "seam" bug when using the Left Alignment option.

The issue behaves slightly differently depending on the style:

  1. Windows 7 & Modern styles: A visible seam appears below the search bar specifically when performing a search.
  2. Windows 11, Windows App, Windows Pro, & Windows Launcher styles: The seam is constantly visible even without the search bar.

This visual glitch is highly distracting and prevents me from using these otherwise great styles. Could you please look into this and fix it as soon as possible?

Thank you.

Hello. the last months, with different editions of the start11 on windows 11 pro 25H2, when I am clicking on an icon at the vertical taskbar the mouse cursor jumps to the right and triggers a click on its own, see the two videos attached. By the way, I couldn't find a way to upload them directly to the forum, the link of the video will expire soon.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. This is what I get on my Windows 10 system. Not really sure which area you're referring to.

I'm referring to the seam or gap between the taskbar and the Start menu.

It might be hard to see in the attached image, so I recommend clicking on it to view it in full size.

From what I know, those gabs does appear on any style since the Start panel is different than the taskbar. It make sense that there is gab between taskbar and the Start panel.
