StartAllBack

I have just downloaded some Windows updates and now explorer.exe crashes in a loop until I open a cmd window and type taskkill /im explorer.exe /f. Is there any way of getting StartAllBack working again without it buggering up explorer.exe?

Using StartAllBack 3.6.4
Windows 11 22H2 build 22621.1702

Solved it. It was because I was still using SAB v3.4.4 on my user. The v3.6.4 version was installed for all users from when I tried to update SAB by running the installer after v3.4.4 refused to update. The "install for me" option in the installer is greyed out for some stupid reason so I ended up fixing it by copying the installed 3.6.4 version of StartAllBack folder from "C:\Program Files" to "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local".

I would like to know if it was possible to add a new item to the power button default action in SAB, to open the classic shutdown dialog instead.

Everything that's in the classic shutdown dialog, is already incorporated into SAB...

StartAllBack 3.6.5

- Bing AI taskbar search button where applicable

- Fixed black screen when using taskbar thumbnails on some systems

- Fixed acrylic menus showing blank once on some systems

Note: it's not pushed yet to automatic update. 3.6.4 may direct you to downloading update manually.

Using the StartAllBack Dynamic Transparency for the Taskbar, I replaced the boring Taskbar on my 34" monitor with a music spectrum using a Rainmeter skin. I have my Taskbar always locked.

Grettings SAB'rs I have now replaced the operating system on my PC. Before the change I was able to DRAG the taskbar to the location where I wanted it placed. Now, I have to set the location in the Tweak Behavior and superpowers section of the setup. The ability to DRAG it to the wanted location is not something I must have. I just wondered if this is normal? Or is it me? Or both. SAB is great app.

It's just you!
I can still drag it or set it in Properties.

I thought there may have been a "drag" setting I haven't seen. Maybe it'll drag next update. It's no big deal. Just a curiosity on my part. I did find another setting in SAB I had been looking for and missed. Thank you sir and have a great day!

Did you Unlock the Taskbar first?

Would I overlook something like that? nnnnOOOooooo or Yes! Most likely. Yep, there it is. I haven't locked a taskbar in 10 years..Thanks for pointing out the obvious

Could we please have something to turn off those annoying and utterly pointless popups telling me what a program is I accidentally hovered over on the taskbar? I fiddled in the registry and persuaded it to stop providing a massive thumbnail, but it still puts a line of text over the top of what I'm trying to read. I can only assume it's for the users who leave the stupid default of an icon instead of a word for each program, then need the word. Well I don't! See this? Sheepit render farm is sheepit render farm, very useful MS......

Is the automatic update function working for anyone? Mine didn't check or automatically update to 3.6.5. I had to manually update it.

can you share this rainmeter skin or at least the name of the visualizer?
I was looking for one in this style to put here on the desktop but most don't have that many bands.

You can actually customize the number and height of band/bars if you go and edit it. Right-click on the skin then choose settings.

I found this one here and it worked, it's not the same but it seems to have new options.
thanks

Has anyone discovered a way of backing up the SAB settings for clean installs? If I have to setup my 'Custom list items..' one more time and find the right icons for each one I'm gonna go insane.

Secondly, is there a way to increase the total height more than 30 items? like a registry entry? on a 1440p resolution 30 items in List/Small is not enough.

Thanks

How can I add new taskbar style when using Startallback? Thnx for tips

I have a bug that my either one of my WiFi, Sound, or Battery icon got hidden inside this white thing. I'm on SAB v3.6.5. Anybody know how to fix this?

Simply drag the icons from the overflow menu

StartAllBack 3.6.6.4680

- [Dev] Support for modern navigation bar feature

- Fixed All Programs - Sort By Name not applying

- Fixed bizzarre bug where system DPI may increase leading to larger fonts

- Dark Magic Preview please post bugs there

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.
