works ok in windows 10

I had prior to the version 2.73 update... a "Pin folder menu"

After the update the "Icon" for the folder menu was missing (but the area was still there and I could access the menu).

I closed the folder menu thinking that I could just recreate it.

Following the steps to recreate it, does NOT make the folder appear next to the start button.

I was creating a folder to the "link" folder... C:\Users\{user}\Links

This folder just contains shortcuts to various web browsers.

I have Start11v2 installed on my windows 10 pro computer with the exact same folder and it functions normally.

So I am wondering if this is just a windows 11 issue..

I believe 2.74 Beta has a fix for this. You can download it from your Account Download page here"

Thank you . Yes the Beta did indeed correct the issue.

And please thank the staff for letting us use custom icons for these folders.

It helps this custom menu really stand out.

Cheers
