Thanks for sending that over. This is a known issue with Start11, it's not fixable from our end unfortunately. We added an advanced setting called "Enable prompt to restart explorer when issue detected" that you can enable, which will display a prompt to fix it when the issue happens.

Thanks!


Well damn. I JUST paid for Start11 this morning after the trial expired. LOL

I started playing with Start11 settings. I turned off their 'Taskbar Enhancement' feature, restarted explorer and taskbar went to normal. See screenshot. Status bars, obscured buttons, etc. now appear normal. Might be useful to note that for customers who have same problem. I also enabled that prompt in case the problem reoccurs.

Thanks,

Attaching screenshots to show the issue. One shows the app minimized so you can see the status bar. Other is with the app maximized. Look closely at blank right side of that pic and can barely see the status bar under the taskbar.

Taskbar size is set to Automatic.

Using Win 11, ver 22H2. Dual Monitors are new Dell E2423H, 1920x1080. PC is a new Dell Optiplex 7010. DF Pro ver 10.1.1

I used DF for many years at former work on Win 10 machines. Never had this problem. I have scoured the settings and unable to find anything to fix the issue. Although there's a chance I missed something.

Appreciate any advice to resolve this.
