I am having an issue where after i wake up my computer from sleep the whole of explorer is busted. I have to either reboot to get StartAllBack working again or uninstall/reinstall.

I do have 2 monitors
Symptoms:
- the taskbar is not saving its position and swaps to the 'Primary' monitor
- explorer address bar is not readable or bugged out with overlapping text
- i am unable to work in the StartAllBack properties

If i try to open the Properties i am unable to maneuver in the window as it is just stuck on the Taskbar tab and i am unable to do anything else with the application.

Seems very severe as i never had these issues with just the 1 monitor

I have reinstalled Windows now to see if this will help with these issues at all.
- i have confirmed that after reboot the taskbar is still swapping to the "Primary Monitor" and must be repositioned. This may just be a limitation of Windows 11 after the destruction of the taskbar

How do I make hidden folders appear in a flyout menu? I can see them in a file explorer window ok. Notice program data is shown in the file explorer window on the right, yet it's missing from the start menu.

Un-hide them in Properties...

Lamberto Vitali · Oct 10, 2023

Never thought of doing it that way, I assumed Windows kept them hidden, or needed them hidden.

I know. I guess "hidden" is just hidden, not a special flag so Windows system files can operate. The system flag might have more of such a meaning.

Windows shouldn't be just hiding such files, it should stop you deleting them. In fact I'm sure it does, what if you try to delete pagefile.sys in c:\?

I only leave the second box ticked because seeing desktop.ini in every bloody folder faffs me off.

Do you guys know how SAB knows which system a license key is activated on? I got a new motherboard and I've used 1/2 of my activations and the second was meant for my laptop, but will using it on this new mobo / windows install use the other?

There doesn't seem to be any way to email support or anything.

The easiest way is not to use license keys.

Apparently they have an email startisback@gmail.com that isn't anywhere on their site.

On one install (I regularly try different builds from uupdump) it said the trial had expired, so I assumed they had started to enforce licences and remove the endless 100 day trial, figured it was cheap and it's an intgral program so why not.)

Lamberto Vitali · Oct 12, 2023

I have 10 computers. I ain't paying for 10 licenses. Maybe if there was a bulk pack.

The endless license does work on all 10, I just get a reminder every time I reboot or unlock the screen.

There are free alternatives like classic shell I can use instead anyway. Or there's that place named after ships Elevenforum don't like us mentioning.

Does anyone find it ironic that "Start All Back" was intended to fix deal breaking UI issues?

Lamberto Vitali · Oct 12, 2023

I might. I've never understood irony.
What point were you making?

Read the thread up to the point where it was hijacked. WTF do windows license keys have to do with StartAllBack?

Ataemonus · Oct 12, 2023

Some of us read and understand. Some just ... read. Nobody mentioned any Windows license keys of any kind, until the post above.
You are very confused, even more so when one takes into account your understanding of "irony".

I advise anyone using this version to roll back to a previous version. Many users are having various issues.
v3.6.13.4750, for example, seems to be OK.
