After the latest update, I now have a grey/black line across the Taskbar halfway up. If I go into the Start11 app and restart Windows Explorer it goes away temporarily but always comes back. Nothing else has changed on the system.
Are you on a touch capable device?
No. Standard screen.
Could you post a screenshot of what you are seeing?

This one is the standard look of the taskbar:
This one is with the Stardock "custom taskbar background texture" selected, where it shows a clear difference in color where the line cuts through:
It best if you also include more information on your system.
Thank you,

I am experiencing this same behavior as well. I am on a new Dell 2-in-1 laptop with a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro, OS build 22521.1848 and Start11 version 1.45. The laptop screen is a 2k 14". I first noticed it on my laptop with the scale set to 150% but it is also present when I switch back to 100%, and also when I'm connected to my docking station with a pair of 2k monitors.
1. Version 22H22. Screen resolution: 1920 x 1080
The scaling faction is 105%. I tried 100% and the scaling factor is the issue - it's fine when set to 100% (that being said, I still want to set it at 105%).
Thanks.
If you try the 1.46 beta of Start11 does the issue go away?
I'll give it a go. How do I access please?
I hunted it down.
It solved the problem for me. Thanks to Neil and Basj for helping. Much appreciated!!
Great, glad you found it.
Same issue on Start 11 v2 on my second external screen. NO issue on primary screen (laptop), however after some fiddling - ensure "force NO touch display" removed the line for me.
Hello,Thank you for reporting this, hopefully this might help others with similar issue.
Thank you.Basj,Stardock Community Assistant.
I have the same issue after upgrading to Win 11 24H2 - was fine before the update.
No touch screen display, standard 1920 x 1080, no scaling (eg at 100%).
