Reply to Start11 v2.5 Beta Feedback Thread in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Some issues similar (maybe the same) as others have reported for the vertical taskbar: Intermittent: Some icons for pinned apps seem to have slid up the taskbar and don't appear Some apps don't respect the taskbar when maximized and overlap (or more strictly underlay) it. I would expect that for full-screen, but not maximized. I often end up with too many app icons and no way in W11 to access those it hides. I know this is a W11 problem, not Start11, but is

Reply to Deskscapes has stopped looping in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

Hmm, spoke too soon. After a reboot I have the same issue again. I noticed this post on ASUS, and, as I have a Zenbook, I thought I'd investigate. No joy. Next, I tried disabling "Process video automatically" in system settings, as that seemed to make no difference to what I saw. No joy. A couple of oddities: Despite what I said above, a

Reply to Deskscapes has stopped looping in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

This is strange. I changed this setting from EVR, and it no longer freezes. To check, I went through all these options, and now none of them causes a freeze. I will keep an eye on this and report if I see freezing again.

Deskscapes has stopped looping in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

Deskscapes 11.02 Windows 11 23H2 I'm unsure when it happened because I generally have maximized windows so rarely show my desktop, but I just noticed that most of my Dreams are no longer looping. They play once then freeze at the last frame. I've tried a number of Dreams and this happens with all of them. I'm not sure what is the difference between those that freeze and those that continue. Most freeze after around 30 seconds, so I initially thought it was when a movie finishe

Start11 and ObjectDock in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

As there is a certain amount of overlap in these two products, does anyone have any thoughts about using them together? Or is it better to regard them as completely independent? I guess it will be possible to have a DOck on one screen edge and the Taskbar controlled by Start11 on another, but are there more interesting things that can be done? How, if at all, do they interact? Can I have a Dock using the Start11 start menu, taskbar, and notification area?

Reply to Stuck on uninstalling services in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

That seems to have sorted it, thanks! Reinstalled and now seems to be working OK. Playlists working as expected (previously it just showed the first Dream). Also, the "Configure Deskscapes" item is back on the desktop context menu, which I only realised was missing when it reappeared.

Stuck on uninstalling services in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

The title says it all. I installed Deskscapes 11 over 10 and it was never satisfactory. Either Dreams didn't autoplay or playlists never moved from the first Dream. So I decided to uninstall and reinstall from scratch. The uninstall program started fine but as of now, it has been sat saying "Uninstalling services" for over an hour. On Windows 10 Home 20H2, 19042.1266

Reply to Problem Code 123 on installing Deskscapes 11 in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

Thanks, it did make the installer visible, but I didn't see an option to select Safe Files. The install still failed: I chose Ignore and the install seemed to complete though with another error (didn't catch this one). After that, I was able to activate and start Deskscapes. So for now all seems OK

Reply to Nothing showing in Object desktop in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Spoke too soon. Just opened ODM for the first time since I posted the above and ... nothing there, which is nonsense. Nothing on Manage or Installed tabs. So, basically, ODM is about as much use to me at the moment as a pile of poo in a swimming pool

Following up. I uninstalled everything again using Revo on its most aggressive mode, rebooted, ran CCleaner to clean the registry, went into the registry manually to clear out every reference to Stardock and ObjectDock, rebooted again, this time ODM installed everything fine and it all appears in the Manage and Installed tabs.
