StartAllBack

What's exactly Dark Magic and what it does?

This.


PS. I enabled Dark Magic AFTER the post above, it still crashes on every single copy/move/delete in Windows Explorer, even with details off.

I don't know how to enable it, that command 'startisbackcfg /magic' seems to do nothing here.

If an elevated command prompt in the StartAllBack folder is giving you troubled, better not enable anything experimental in any app, let alone one that pertains to the shell.

I know how to do it, but it just don't enables the preview function here, i don't know why. Anyway thanks.

As the developer mentioned, you need to restart the Explorer and all apps. Or restart Windows after enabling.
I actually disabled StartAllBack for my user, only user, to check if the Windows Explorer copy/move/delete is a bug of Windows, not StartAllBack, and it's not, and with StartAllBack disabled I enabled the DarkMagic feature, then simply enabled StartAllBack, logged off, logged in, voila.
Still, I noticed nothing from it, lol.

Managing files is working fine here.

No idea then, it happened immediately after updating to 3.6.6, was working fine with 3.6.5.

PS. Uninstalled, cleaned everything, restarted the PC, installed fresh, same issue.
Clearly it's the StartAllBack, since everything works without it.

PPS. Now it's even worse, Control Panel is no longer dark, wtf ?
Installed 3.6.5 and all is working properly.

Version 3.6.6 is super bugged.
First, it defaults to show details when copying, moving files, deleting file etc with Explorer.
Second, it also crashes every time a file is copied/moved/deleted with explorer, and restarts.

They have updated it from StartAllBack v3.6.6.4680 to StartAllBack v3.6.6.4681
Hopefully it fixes the bugs

Thank you, trying right now.

PS. Confirmed, it works just fine now. Awesome.

StartAllBack 3.6.7.4685

- [Dev] Support for RemoveChat feature

- Disabled dialog font improvement for now

- Fixed 3.6.6 high crashing bug

- Fixed uninstall not actually removing files err what

Well, still not everything works as it should.
This latest version screws something in regards to file associations, for instance, when opening Chrome Canary, it opens Settings/Apps/Default Apps as well. Also, no torrent file will open from the browser anymore, I have to save it to disk, then open it manually from Windows Explorer.
No link from Telegram conversations opens in Edge, or any browser.
All of the above are NOT present when I use the default ugly Windows 11 interface.

Dont update too soone , its still in progress...............!

Up to version 3.6.5 everything was OK, no issues at all. It's 3.6.6 when it all started to go sideways.

Cant find the "dark magic "..........nowhere to be seen !!
Cant find "magic" either............

Enter "StartAllBackCfg.exe /magic" at an elevated command prompt:

I get ;
'StartAllBackCfg.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

are you executing that command from the SAB installation folder?

No, from CMD .
SAB installation folder ......? not visible !
