Start11v2 not honoring System/Multitasking/Desktops/On the taskbar, show all open windows

from Stardock Forums

When using the System/Multitasking/Desktops/On the taskbar, show all open windows setting, Start11v2 does not honor this setting and icon's on other virtual desktops only appear on those desktops.  Both Windows and Start11 are updated, and the behavior is repeatable and survived an uninstall.  It reverts to normal when I disable Taskbar customization.

Edition    Windows 11 Pro
Version    25H2
Installed on    ‎11/‎25/‎2024
OS build    26200.8973
Experience    Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.344.0
Start11 v2.74

Hopefully I'm just missing something and this isn't a true bug.  TIA

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Not really clear on the issue, perhaps, elaborate a little bit more on it. Steps to reproduce the issue might help, to try to recreate the issue.

Thank you,

Thanks to you both.  And just to clarify, what happens with Taskbar customizations on, is that Virtual Desktops will only show the icons from the desktop that is active.  It should show all the icons of all running applications on all virtual desktops when the Windows setting is configured as such.  Disabling customizations restores the functionality of the setting.

I look forward to a solution.  TIA.
