Start 11 / Window 11 / Start Button / Little Arrow for Restart

from Stardock Forums

Is there anyways to make the gap between the shutdown button on the start menu and the arrow to open up the sub menu to choose restart a little bigger/wider, the amount of times while I'm remoted into my desktop, probably due to a lag on movement, I go to choose the the little > so I can but I inadvertently click the 'shutdown' having to get up to the other room isn't an issue, but if I was away from the home that would annoy me.

Or a way to make switch the shutdown and restart around, so if I mistake click, I'm only restarting the machine, which was the intended need and if I want to shutdown, I can allow it to restart then slowly get to the shutdown?

If none of these options are available, any thoughts on a work around? (apart from go slower)

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know, which Start11 Start menu style you're using/referring?

Thank you,

Have you tried Compact style?

I like the corner 'button' on the Compact style as it's either 'Shutdown' or wait for the others to slide out, but I prefer the menu system on the base style were I can see the control panel and items like that as 'Control Panel' not an icon.

you can set the default action for the button to restart instead of shutdown.

Wow, I knew that was a thing, but didn't want to change/click it, as I thought, it would have replaced the Shut down with Restart and still left Restart inside the slide out, didn't know it switched them around.

Thank You.
