Unfortunately, yes. Please test https://startisback.com/StartAllBack_setup.exe

It should extract text unless you're focusing taskbar

StartAllBack 3.9.14 StartAllBack 3.9.13

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband, Value type is DWORD, Value name is NumThumbnails, Data can be set to 0 If Google doesn't help

NumThumbnails=0

This was resolved in 3.9.13

There's no hang in the dumps. Video makes no sense either, sorry. System is screwed up somehow, maybe there's a leak?

You don't say anything about crash . If app hangs it's because SHAppBarMessage waits for taskbar to reply; you need to capture explorer.exe dump in that exact moment: task manager - details - (heaviest) explorer.exe - Create memory dump file

Most likely hang is in SHAppBarMessage call, so take explorer.exe process dump to analyze

Well you better tell what needs to be done to trigger hung or find where hung is - capture dump or find in debugger directly attached to problematic process

You use compact mode and modified msstyles?

Unlock the taskbar

This is not a bug, but an improvement to indicate disabled window. There is/will be a setting to disable shading for confused ones [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\StartIsBack\DarkMagic] FadeDisabled = (DWORD)0 There are acrylic effects alright, but it's not supposed to be pure black, maybe extra tweaks on your system.

That's expected behavior

I need log from @tixemog149

Please download test version, run DebugView https://startisback.com/StartAllBack_setup.exe and attach debug log created during install / explorer restart here please

Is it a degradation? Try 3.9.11 https://startisback.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/StartAllBack_3.9.11_setup.exe

Sure if I could reproduce that

Try deleting %localappdata%\StartAllBack\Cache

I don't have a keyboard with this key, but Win+Shift+F23 copilot hotkey works for me.

It sure could, it's not that hard. It is a choice to make experience with toolbars worse.

Toolbars must die, sorry.

Yeah, it likely does due to weird build versioning. It may be addressed by MS in future build; I'm not going to support server canary builds ever.

The tools are on Advanced page. If they don't help, you'll be stuck with this atrocity for a while.
