[StartAllBack for Windows 11]

Hello,
I am using Win11 22H2. Originally, Taskbar settings enable access to Search Icon and Search Box settings (see attached image).

Since I installed the latest version StartAllBack 3.6.3, the Search Box settings in the taskbar is no longer available. However, I seem to have seen in the Windows Personalisation > Taskbar settings an additional option of [Search]: Hide, Show Button, Show Button+Box. Unfortunately, I can't find it.

Anyone can help how to activate Search Box next to Search Button in the Taskbar?
Regards

[Quick Launch toolbar works BUT NOT STICK in the Taskbar]

Hello,
I finally installed Win10 latest version on my brand-new HP Probook 450 G7. Everything works like a charm except Quick Launch toolbar.
In fact, it works until I switch OFF/ON or Restart. Then, Quick launch disappear from the Toolbar, and I have to RE-install it again.

I read somewhere, that all details for all toolbars are stored in a single binary value in the registry key below.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop

So, as I have a Desktop with almost same configuration as my Laptop, I copied that registry key from the Desktop to my Laptop. I've tested Windows Restart, the Quick Launch remain stuck.

After a Win/Office Update, or switch OFF/ON Quick Launch disappear.
Also, I noticed that reg key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop after Switch OFF/ON or updates is downsized to 2K when the original key copied from my Desktop is sized 63K.

I'll appreciate any help

[Windows 7: No update]

 

@dencorso: I installed WindowsUpdateAgent (x64) (couldn't run it using the /wuforce switch)

Did you run it elevated? YES

Of course you already tried the solutions proposed in this page, right? YES

Did you run sfc /scannow? If not, do it, please. If already, then download and run SFCFix, reboot, and try sfc /scannow once again.

 

 

I ran -sfc /scannow here bellow the result

Start of the phase of verification of the analysis of the system.

100% verification is complete.

Windows resource protection found files damaged, but

failed to repair them all. Details are included in the log

CBS. Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log1

I ran Fix Windows corruption errors by using the DISM or System Update Readiness tool...   works    

BTW, here bellow image shows when no update and when update OK

Anyway, as I got many crash (blue screen)  I'm going to do a new and clean installation. But I was curious to know why I had no more updates. Now I know

[Will Windows 10 update inherit all/most Win7/8 customizations?]

I find the How to in French..

Here you go Obtenir Windows 10 : réserver ou annuler la réservation sous Windows 7 et 8 and Obtenir Windows 10 : comment supprimer ou masquer l'icône de la barre des tâches ?

 

I guess even those not mastered the French readily understand

[Will Windows 10 update inherit all/most Win7/8 customizations?]

 

I STRONGLY recommend canceling your "reservation" and waiting until you hear what the others in the world who get updated right at release say.  The free upgrade offer will be good for a whole year.  You can be sure Microsoft isn't going to shut you out because you wait a few weeks or months after the release day to see how things really work (and how they are accepted by other Win 7 users).

 

-Noel

 

 

TNX Noel for all the infos above and your advice   Above all, I keep to cancel my "reservation" and wait for the benefits of all those who rushed.

Have an idea how to cancel this "reservation"?

Let us wait for other users experience

[Will Windows 10 update inherit all/most Win7/8 customizations?]

Hello,

Currently I'm using Win7 x64 ultmate that I had installed unintended with several customizations... Addons, drivers, Lang packs, QuickLaunch and 80K of registry tweaks (Desktop, Control Panel, UAC, Explorer…).

I agreed yesterday the Windows 10 update which will install in late this month. I like to know

if Windows 10 update will take all my Win7 customization heritage and apply it to Win 10?

Otherwise, do my Win7 RegTweaks file will be compatible and integrated if I apply it after windows 10 update?

Hi jaclaz,

Given the bad experience that I had with trojans, I use Loaris to get greater security. In addition, Loaris is deemed to be the best anti-trojan market.

So, as my machine has just been cleaned from Trojan, I'll stop scan every startup.

Regards

Hi,

I finally caught the troublemaker: Loaris Trojan Remover.

It scan the machine on every startup, it detect the UAC as an Hijack and fix it (see here bellow image).

I don't know how to exclude files, folders, registry to be ignored when Loaris scan.

TNX myselfidem for yr help and sorry for the delay. I was out.

Maybe that can help you about UAC, I use this registry file:

Disable UAC

Checked everything is a same except the following missed

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"HideFastUserSwitching"=dword:00000000

1 - Inside your SetACL_full.cmd we can see Administartors and Administrateurs !?

I've English and French language installed. So, during the UA install, only the correct language is installed.

2 - About takeownership inside your registry file MyTweaks_64.reg:

For English is (y for: yes):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\runas\command]
@="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d y  && icacls \"%1\" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F /t"
"IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F /t"

For French language (o for : oui):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\runas\command]
@="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d o  && icacls \"%1\" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F /t"
"IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d o && icacls \"%1\" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F /t"

Registry checked, I installed the French command.

TNX jaclaz and DosProbie for yr help

1) To have full unrestricted access rights and permission on my computer, I've enabled the Built-in Elevated Administrator Account by uncheck the "Account is disabled" and "Password never expires" box in "Administrator Properties".

And turned Off UAC notifications completely to "Never notify" as the here bellow reg

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin"=dword:00000000
"EnableLUA"=dword:00000000
"PromptOnSecureDesktop"=dword:00000000

Although the here above addon, still the machine ask for Run, Copy, Move... to "as Admin" or right-click "Take Ownership". Is it because I'm using 64-bit IE10 ?

2). Believe me or not I've tested what jaclaz advise here above. It wouldn't works

I tested it right now... it works like a charm

However, It is possible to add "Manage network connections" shortcuts to Start/"Connect to" as WinXP?

Kind regards
