Start11 Not moving Taskbar to top of screen

November 12, 2025 8:29:00 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

New 11 update from 10, current win 11 is 10.0.22631. Installed Start11 as admin and install completed correctly. PC reboot.  Attempted to move taskbar top of screen and it would not work. Other features seemed to work fine.  

Saw forums and did the uninstall, reboot, re-install from account, immediately reboot, try to move to top again and still no success.

Searched forums & Google and couldn't find any new tricks to resolve issue.

Thank you in advance

Please try, uninstall Start11, reboot immediately (important), download latest version available in your account product download page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products.  Install it, reboot immediately again. Retest it and report back.

Thank you,

Out of interest how did you end up with 23H2 when upgrading from Win10?

That reached end of servicing for home/pro recently.

With regards to your issue, do you have enhanced taskbar in Start11 enabled or disabled?

@Basj, I did try that multiple times including again today when MS did an upgrade on 11.  

@Neil, Really have no idea. MS did updated today so current now.  Still couldn't move the taskbar to top of screens though. Enhanced Taskbar was enabled. For S & G I tried disabling and repeated the entire procedure with no lock. 

I'll try the process again.

Thank You

If you have Windows Pro, try test it on Windows Sandbox and see if it work while in Sandbox, refer here: https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1416855562/Testing+Start+in+Sandbox. Try it and report back.

Do you have autohide taskbar enabled in Windows?

That will stop you moving it, but you can use the Start11 auto hide mode instead.
