StartAllBack issue with open last active window

[TenDB]

Hi all,

I'm moving to Windows 11 after using Windows 10 forever, so I'm trying out StartAllBack to see if it would fix the annoyances with the Win11 taskbar.

So far StartAllBack seems to be a perfect replacement for 11 except that I have encounter a possible bug when I have multiple windows open on the same app like Chrome.  If I enable LastActiveClick for windows, StartAllBack will always show the first window instead of the last active window.  Below are the steps to reproduce it.  Switching back to regular Win11 taskbar will function as expected.  I'm using Win11 24H2 with the latest version of StartAllBack that's available for download.

1. The taskbar settings should be Always Combine and hide titles/labels, and enable click to activate last active window with the registry key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "LastActiveClick"=dword:00000001

2. Open a browser (e.g. Chrome) and open multiple windows of this same browser with Ctrl+N and maximize the windows.

3. Open multiple Explorer windows.

4. With Explorer window in focus, hover over to the browser app in the taskbar, and select/click on a browser window thumbnail that's not the first one to bring it into focus.

5. Click on the Explorer window in the taskbar; now Explorer window is in focus.

6. Click on the browser app on the taskbar; since the LastActiveClick reg key is active, it should show the last active window for the browser, but this doesn't happen, and it shows the first browser window instead.

Is there a workaround/fix for this? I'm tempted to move back to Win10 again before doing too much configuration lol

Yes, it works now; thanks for fixing it so quickly!  I just purchased the license.

Now I can use Windows 11 in relative peace lol
