SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My comparison of the Process Monitor logs from Fullshot running on both an HP machine and a non-HP machine proved to be "giant clue" informational insight into what was perhaps responsible for the unique HP-only behavior of Fullshot as far as its malfunctioning "exit" which...

AHA! That explains everything. I admit that I was completely unaware of this enhancement from November 2023 (applicable back then to 22H2/23H2) which optionally added a new "end task" (aka "exit" for Fullshot's tray icon right-click menu) item to the popup menu from right-click on an...

Temporarily, I have now DISABLED the Fullshot setting which allows the Fullshot system tray icon to remain active even after closing ("X") the foreground open Fullshot program window (which also closes the currently open Taskbar shortcut icon, indicating that the program is no longer open and...

I have now done further research using one of those problematic three HP machines where the anomalous Fullshot behavior is occurring. Just to reiterate, the issue DOES NOT OCCUR ON ANY OF MY OTHER WIN11 25H2 MACHINES! So I did a full "in-place upgrade to Win11 25H2" on this one machine, which...

I'm sorry, I apparently didn't understand what you were asking because the wording was technically incorrect and inaccurate, and thus ambiguous to me. Apparently my hunch as to what you probably wanted me to try was apparently wrong. "What happens if you reopen the window from the tray, hold...

I honestly do not recognize that "settings" dialog you've posted. The current version of the program has numerous sub-pages of settings. The few settings you show is just a very small subset of what is actually currently customizable in the program. You are apparently running a VERY VERY OLD...

That is what I'm suspecting. Either that or some HP-proprietary software is installed on all three of these machines, and which is somehow responsible for the Fullshot problem. But I repeat that Fullshot previously worked properly even with any HP software present. It is only more recently with...

You are asking about closing the Fullshot program window itself. And yes, that program window can be closed either by clicking on "X" in its upper right corner or right-click (no need for also CTRL) on the active taskbar icon and then "close window". Either of these actions WILL close the...

For 20+ years I have used a 3rd-party licensed "screenshot" utility product named Fullshot, from what used to be Inbit Systems. They no longer exist, and the software is now "abandonware", although older "public" versions are available from various online software sources. However the program...

Much internet research later, I stumbled onto the one possible solution which DID FIX THE PROBLEM for me: Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connections tab -> LAN settings button -> ==> be sure that "automatically detect settings" IS CHECKED!! Somehow, this was not checked for me. Don't...

Honestly, it's not like I'm 5 years into using a machine, and it might be impossible or very difficult to do a from-scratch reinstall, so that using "in-place upgrade" as a good way to restore Windows itself to "factory integrity" while retaining all data and 3rd-party products and Windows...

Good thoughts. With Macrium Reflect available (to backup my current system in 5 minutes, and then restore it in another 5 minuts after playing around to experiment), I tried uninstalling first Start11, and then seeing if the anomaly disappeared. It did not. I then uninstalled Explorer Patcher...

I'm working to complete the build-out of a brand new Win11 Pro 23H2 install on my Lenovo P70 laptop, having started with retail MS Win11 ISO "tweaked" by RUFUS 4.3 in order to overcome the machine hardware prerequisites for Win11. My P70 is an older 6th-generation laptop with TPM 1.2, so...
