Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Does the issue appear if you apply Stardock's WB theme like Diamond etc?
Thanks

-BUT it worked perfectly before the update...
My Start buttons are OFTEN quite long...
-This must be sorted or most of my Blindes are F'd up.

Tested... NONE of My Blinds startbuttons show.
-Set to Medium Taskbar, Left aligned Start Button, Centered taskbar buttons.

Try updating to 1.4.2 beta, if basj agrees.
Maybe because the start button is hardcoded to 48x48 pixels.

It might be of that over size start button which Neil did mentioned that it will be limited to 48x48 pixel. Not sure if it will shrink down or cut off.
Thank you,

-There must be HEAPS of Blinds with Longer & bigger startbuttons out there...
Seriously... ALL my Blinds are going to be USELESS now...surely this can't be happening and MUST be fixed!!??
-I won't be able to sell a single Skin if it isn't sorted.

Its Windows 11 thing. Not sure if Neil have something up his sleeve to make it okay again. I have forwarded your problem/question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience.

As a friend, I'd suggest redesigning your start buttons since MS won't redesign Windows11...
I can't re design and RE-upload ALL hundreds of Win 10 skins !!!???

This will render 20-40% of all uploaded skins useless (If you want the startbutton)
