Reply to Windows 11 Explorer Corruption in Start Menu Products WinCustomize Forums

I have never seen this issue on my PC and I have been using Start11 for several years starting with version 1. I very rarely restart my computer and it runs 24/7. The fact that you are seeing this on two PC's, it leads me to believe there is something in common on both that is causing this issue. You could try disabling Start11 for a few days and see is the issue happens. Perhaps Basj, who is the Stardock Community Assista

Hopefully, that Restore Point isn't too old, as you might lose any other changes you made. Maybe you could create a restore point before you roll it back. Then after the restore to get your Start11 menu back, back up the settings to a thumb drive, and then restore to the latest Restore Point prior to rolling back. Copy your Start11 backup from the thumb drive to your C: Drive, and then open Start11 config. and restore your settings.

Nice one Doc! :thumbsup: :grin: Hot here also! We're experiencing what they call a "Heat Dome," and we're getting sands blowing in from the Sahara Desert. My wife and I are having troubles breathing.

Did you ever back up your settings? If so, you can retore your settings and get your custom menu back. Do you have a Restore point from before the menu disappeared? If so, you could restore to that point and your settings should be restored allowing you to get your custom menu back. Otherwise, you'll have to recreate it. Just be sure to back up your settings once you have recreated it. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/69/28/6928565/89690083-e4fc-454d-9704-a6668

Perhaps a Purge & Reinstall will fix it. Follow the instructions here: https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1349320768/ObjectDock+purging+and+re-installing

What ever you are using to clean up redundant files is deleting the Activation file. Check this folder for License.sig "C:\ProgramData\Stardock\ObjectDock\License.sig" Maybe white list this file in your maintenance program. Maintenance programs that delete redundant files are notorious for deleting files that are required for other software.

Reply to Windows 11 Explorer Corruption in Groupy WinCustomize Forums

In File Explorer Options > General tab under Browse folders, do you have "Open each folder in the same window" selected? In Groupy v2 Grouping settings, under Explorer enhancement settings, do you have "New Explorer tabs should open in the same folder" selected? Are you running Start11 v2, because this sounds more like a Start11 taskbar issue?

Reply to MS Extends W10 Free Security Patches Through October 2027 in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I had seen this on other sites, and it is great news for a lot of Windows 10 users. The price of new computers is going up due to memory and RAM shortages which makes the upgrade to Windows 11 unfeasible for those on older computers. I have personally been running Windows 11 for a couple of years now, and with Stardock software it's quite tolerable. Once they finish the "K2" initiative, it should be a lot better.

Reply to DeskScapes v 26.01 Beta Feedback in DeskScapes WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="Abisnabidam" reply="3994760" id="541745"] It does seem that in order to disable an Info Pane, you would uncheck where it was first enabled, manually. It doesn't get disabled from the "Disable DeskScapes" option, or from changing backgrounds in Windows. I'll have this logged. [/quote] That's actually not a bad thing. It would allow for using a Windows applied background with the Info Pane, and without DeskScapes being enabled. That is unless Star

Reply to DeskScapes v 26.01 Beta Feedback in DeskScapes WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="Abisnabidam" reply="3994755" id="541745"] This I'm not reproducing. If DeskScapes is enabled, the Settings cog will show a "Disable DeskScapes" option. If I click one of Windows' Settings recent images to load a background from there, I see that option in DeskScapes go away. I'm curious if this happens every time for you in this way, and if you are expecting DeskScapes to become disabled in some other way. [/quote] If I select an image fro
