[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Stardock today announced the release of Start11 Release Candidate 2 (RC2), which adds a full-screen option and numerous fixes.

“With Release Candidate 2, the full-screen menu feature makes it easier to use Windows 10 or 11 on a tablet,” a Stardock forum post explains. “When paired with the new option to adjust icon sizes for Windows 10 and 11 style menus, Start11 significantly improves the tablet experience.”

New features include a full-screen menu option for Windows 10/11 menu styles, option to hide the “recently installed” (Windows 10/11 style) and the “recent document” (Windows 11 style) lists, enhanced support for wider tile groups in the Windows 10 style menu, the ability to change the background color of individual Windows 10 menu items, options to adjust icon sizing for Windows 10/11 style menus, and 240 Hz support for animations.

There are also many, many fixes that should clear up some of the instabilities in RC1.

Start11 adds folder support to its customizable Windows 11 Start menu​

What you need to know

• Start11 just received an update that adds folder support and a handful of other new features.
• The app now supports importing your Start menu layout from Windows 10.
• Locking a layout into place is also an option with the latest version of Start11.

Windows 11 includes a new Start menu that's been met with mixed reviews. Stardock's Start11 aims to deliver an improved Start experience for both Windows 11 and Windows 10. In addition to allowing people to choose a legacy look, Start11 provides more customization options than the default Start menu and has some unique features. Now, the app has been updated to version 1.1, which includes support for folders and a list of other new options.

Folder support is the main draw of this update. Users can now drag one icon over another while holding the Shift key to create a folder. The app's integration with Fences is also a nice touch.

"One of our priorities in v1.1 was bringing folder functionality to the Windows 11 style menu and enhancing integration with our most popular application, Fences," said VP and General Manager of Stardock Software Brad Sams.

One Desktop to Rule Them All

Remove Unwanted Content

Is it still not possible to have the taskbar both hidden and at the top with Start11?

Last i tried it there where info in the program saying that W11 do not allow that so therefore it can not be done. Well, StartAllBack can do it so it IS possible, it is just Stardock who does not know how to do it.
