I am also experiencing the same issue with the Widgets Icon missing with KB5041587 installed. If I turn off Start 11 and use the normal Windows Taskbar, it seems to no longer be a Widgets Icon, but its similar to the weather icon that was used in Windows 10.
Edit: Doing the Widget Shortcut (Win+W) Brings in the Widget Bar from the right, so this might be because of a change in functionality within Windows 11.
Start 11 2.1
Windows 11 Pro
Version 23H2
OS build 22631.4112
I have updated to v1.55 but now when I right click on the taskbar it hangs for about a minute or so and I cannot select any of the submenus while it is hanging
This should be posted on the 1.55 Feedback Thread.

Hi,
I have upgraded from v1.55 to v2.1 but having an issue with the the Quick Access menu spacing on items such as "Universal Applications".
Previously with v1.55 the menu spacing for these sub menus was small, but now with v2.1 it is either normal or large.
This is the same with all Quick Access items with "Display As Menu".
With v1.55
With v2.1
Windows 11 22H2 (OS Build 22621.4037)
Is this a bug as I can't find any settings to change this back to small or tiny spacing?
Thanks
Can only provide anectdotal evidence but my WIN11 machine worked fine until upgrading to V2 then is slowed down like crazy. Menu flyouts very slow as if mouse and keyboard input were busy buffering.
Outlook email displays very, very slow to update. Changing Outlook Folders also very delayed.
Changing apps to Excel also painfully slow. Entering Excel data very delayed.
No other updates of any kind.
Rebooted several times, no change frustrated removed Stardock completely and regained normal functionality
Pls advise when an update is available.
Been using the product couple months, I like but like so many other products for Windows shame on me, why update when nothing is broken.

Did it, but same behavior cames back. 
Now, I uninstalled it for a few days, and my PC remains calms !
So, Start11 really seems to be the problem 
[Edit] I did uninstall process again, using CCleaner to fully clean the PC. Same problem back after a few minutes.

Bonjour je suis content de cette mise à jour je vois que le logiciel évolue que le clic droit sur la barre des tâches et bien traduit mais je tiens à signaler un petit détail qui n'a pas été fait :
pas encore traduit dans le rectangle et superposition de texte dans l'application
j'espère que vous corrigerai ce petit détail dans votre prochaine mise a jour

It's a problem with the latest update.
Other users have detected that it is due to ARM compatibility.
They should read all the threads and give prompt and expeditious attention to the users.
I have that problem.
Anyone else having this problem?
It is nothing to do with ARM compatibility. Thats an entire separate set of files.
This isn't a bug as v2 has different menus used for those which fit the style better.
You are able to revert to the old ones however using a registry key located here :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8
It is called S11_UseOldStyleBrowseMenus and needs to be created as a string with a value of 1 and then sign out and in again.
Set Widget button "on" from the Task Bar setting of Windows11.
But... location of the Widget button can't be controlled by Start11's enhanced task bar. I have center-aligned task bar icons, but the Widget button is not aligned, shown only on the right side of task bar. This is probably caused from change on latest Windows11 about the Widget. Too bad.
With centre taskbar this is normal. Being right aligned means there is too much on the right hand side of the screen.
