Deskscapes 11.0.1 beta, not compatible with W11 24H2 beta.

I know it's not supported but thought someone at Stardock would want to know.

from Stardock Forums

I know it is not yet supported. I'm not trying to get support, I'm trying to share my results of various Stardock applications on Windows 11 24H2 (10.0.26100.712).

So far Deskscapes 11.0.1 beta runs as an application but it does not manage the wallpapers, leaving only a black scene when it is used to set walls. Removing and reinstalling does not help.

Thanks...The 24H2 from preview channel is admittedly a mess. Other things it broke include some functions of Start 11 and even more importantly (and not surprisingly) Explorer Patcher no longer functions as it did with the previous release preview update. So I'm guessing they have "fixed" more things in the lower level UI code this go around. Though I guess it would have probably hit the other Insider channels prior to this.

Anyway I just wanted to share what I found. For now so many things of my customized config are broken I have rolled back to the previous build in release preview and will wait it out a bit longer. But it doesn't bode well for people like me who hate the new UI and want to go back to a more workflow friendly configuration.

<sigh>

What is not working with Start11?

Nothing should have been broken with that.

I'll walk that statement back. What I found was that with Start11 loaded Explorer Patcher's config screens, from right-clicking the taskbar weren't appearing. I've since rolled the Win11 update back for now as too many things are broken, again.

We welcome you to let us know what you think of the DeskScapes 11.02.0 [Beta] build, now available from your account page. 

Thanks for the feedback,

I have an ODNT subscription and not a stand-alone DeskScapes. So my account page does not show a DeskScapes download at all. Thew version in the Object Desktop Insider app is 11.0.1, 11.0.2 does not show up in it.

Now I just feel stupid. Thanks. I never go to that page to get downloads as I always just use the ODNT App for that. I'll downloading it now, and as as soon as StartIsBack lists the 24H2 preview as supported I'll do an upgrade and give it a go.

Thanks for the "lesson."
