    I have two screens, Start11, Win 11 23H2, and Earthdesk, have had all for years. Earthdesk shows the US on monitor 1 and Japan on monitor 2. Lately, on booting up, about every other day, a static picture of the US shows on both monitors. Earlier I also noticed the taskbar was buggy a bit, hard to describe but wasn’t as usual.

    I found I could make everything work as usual by restarting explorer. Makes everything fine until a boot or two later, when it starts again. I can easily restart explorer, not a problem. I saw some thing Susan wrote about a bad MS update that affects the taskbar, but I can’t find it again. Any advice will be appreciated.

      I’m not an Earthdesk user, but it may simply be an Earthdesk issue that could be easily fixed with a reinstall. Or, you could wait for the July windows updates and if that didn’t fix it, try the next simplest thing with a reinstall.

      Suggest you have an up to-the-moment image backup at the ready before doing anything.

      First thing I did was completely uninstall Earthdesk, then download the latest and re-install. That didn’t do anything! Will wait for the July updates, the June updates didn’t have any impact. Thanks.

      Well, more or less resolved, I’m posting this in case someone else experiences something similar. I realized a few days ago that in May or so I’d updated Start11 to v2.07. So I reinstalled v2.02, and since that time I have had no issues with the taskbar or with Earthdesk wallpaper. Don’t know the issue with Start11 v2.07, but something isn’t agreeing with my computer. When Start11 updates to a newer version I’ll give it a go I’m sure – but keep v2.02 to fall back on.

      Ahem, it may have been version 2.08 that caused the issue…
