Objectdock works on extended desktop, not laptop screen

from Stardock Forums

I've used Start8/10/11 and Objectdock on several machines.

This Win11 laptop is usually my home PC with two extended desktop monitors, keyboard, trackball, etc on a Thunderbolt dock. The laptop is closed and hidden, display unused. All works well.

Now traveling and using just the laptop, the dock doesn't show up.

Reinstalled, same.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. From what I understand you're using ObjectDock on Windows 11 system, yes? Do know that ObjectDock does not officially support Windows 10 and Windows 11. Yes, there are reports by other user that they have ObjectDock running on their Windows 11 system. But, that will not guarantees it work on all system with multiple of new features introduced by Microsoft for its new OS since Windows 8.

Thanks

That's unfortunate. I'll report on this further when getting home and trying a few things with this Win11 laptop.

It worked great on Win10, desktop machine and laptop connected to displays through a docking ststion.

Laptop connected to two extended displays, Objectdock followed the taskbar.

Objectdock appeared on the laptop screen when being used.

May need to find a replacement dock for Win11. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jim

Back home with docking station, displays, etc.

Objectdock didn't work.

Uninstalled, restart. Ran installer in Windows 8 compatibility. Installed, restart. Nothing.

Changed objectdock executable to Windows 8 compatibility. Restarted. Nothing.

Uninstalled. The end.

Now working on Start11 which also has problems. Will start new thread.
