StartAllBack

fz789 · Jun 16, 2023

look again at my screenshot. Your elevated command prompt must be in the SAB installation directory, e.g. "CD \Program Files\StartAllBack"

Because the SAB installation folder is not set in the %PATH% variable, you cannot "find" the exe unless you either A) fully qualify its name when calling it, or B) navigate to the SAB folder before you try to run the command

Just does not work , uninstalled previous , installed the latest, dark mode not visible ...............!

DarkMagicX64.dll is present in the install-folder !

After running the /magic switch you need to restart all explorer.exe processes, or just reboot. You should then have the new tab in the interface

" After running the /magic switch "......................how (!!) to do this ??
Magic is not visisble in the setting of the program !

1. open an elevated command prompt (Run as Administrator).
2. navigate to the SAB installation folder (e.g. cd \program files\startallback).
3. ensure StartAllBackCfg.exe exists in that folder, if not, then you have a broken installation or you are not using the latest version.
4. run "StartAllBackCfg.exe /magic".
5. reboot.
6. Open SAB properties and see the new tab, enable the new features.

Oh boy...
C:\Users\"useraccountname"\AppData\Local\StartAllBack

" C:\Users\"useraccountname"\AppData\Local\StartAllBack " ..................only a Cache-file in it !
Lots of files of the darkmagic-loader are present in the install-folder , still not seen in the program , no "magic" at all ........!

Look at my pictures of latest SAB ...............you see any " magic "...........???

Depends how you installed it, if only for your user or globally.
Since you did not find it initially, I presumed it was installed for the user only.

That's the executable you need, where ever the installation folder might be located, makes no difference.
Run a CMD prompt with Admin privileges there, or simply copy the path from Explorer and paste it in the CMD.
"cd whateverpath"
"startallcackcfg.exe /magic"

For me it did not even need a reboot, or maybe I did it and forgot, since I was so focused on the issues I am having.

Thank you.
Chrome Canary still starts Settings/Apps/Default Apps.
Links in Telegram open fine, though.
Torrent files also open fine from browser.
2 out of 3 issues that I noticed are now fixed.

Dark Magic technology may be a bit too experimental at present.

Dark Magic

Dark Magic technology preview has debuted in 3.6.6 This technology will bring StartAllBack improvements to other apps in the system. Or not if this cases trouble. Experiment #1 - acrylic menus and mica menu bars. More to come Use 'startisbackcfg /magic' command to enable or disable. Known caveats...

Ataemonus · Jun 20, 2023

However, the bug where links in Telegram will not open, is back. Trade one bug for another.

Ataemonus · Jun 21, 2023

Now it works, wtf ? Weird, but I am please everything is working fine now.

There might be a strange behavior of StartAllBack, I have to check if it's indeed caused by it or by Windows itself.
Basically, I have only one aplication open, the email client, which is minimized to taskbar. Leave PC for 10 minutes, powers off the monitor as per power settings, but when it powers on again, the aplication is on screen, no minimized as it should be. eM Client is the app, if it makes any difference.
I will test more later today.
