The process in question is »SdDisplay« and the path to its executable is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Start11\SdDisplay.exe This is the program showing these popups. Yet, I think your developers should know this already and be able to differ between a standalone update popup and an Object Desktop one which most likely is something completely different.
As I mentioned before, I never did and never will do use subscriptions (meaning, Object Dock here). I know about the changes as the updater is showing the changelog at the end of the update process. I am monitoring those for a fix now. Yet, this should be handled as a serious issue in my opinion. It is pretty poor software design to make popus with focus steal; feels like 1995. This issue exists for several months now already (at least this is the time I am aware of them). Norm
Just happened again ... -.-
Hello, I am at home now, so I can reply and add some details. First, the exact Windows 11 build is: 26200.9278. I missed to mention that I am using the standalone versions of both the Stadock apps since I strongly dislike subscriptions (best option for me, aside the pricing) – so much, I even forget that Object Desktop is also an option. Yet, they are directly from Stardock, not Steam. So, they have to be the usual, integrated update functions and the popups I am t
Hello, just wanted to file a quick bug report about the Stardock software updater or update function in products like Start11 and Fences. Each time I receive an update notification popup on my desktop, it is stealing the focus and puts it on itself. This goes as far as disruptively minimizing fullscreen applications and games and it even crashed some apps for this reason also. Please fix this. A notification is fine, but it should never behave this way and only popup in t
Just checked and the setting it enabled by default. So, this issue persists with the option enabled. Edit: Even when setting the remote window in RustDesk to fullscreen, it still does not work. Locally it works fine like with Windows own hide taskbar feature. It is the latest final version currently available (2.51).
[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="6" id="3961727"] Do you have the option enabled to reserve a line for auto hide enabled in Start11? This is under the auto hide setting. [/quote] Interesting idea; I'll test that. Have seen this option but in the horrible German translation it seemed to have nothing to do with that so I left it in its default setting. Talking about translation: is there a way to force Start11 to use the English language in the UI by defaul
I am not a fan of all of Stardocks past decisions either, but I am around here quite some time and know who is who, mostly. When there is no answer at all it often means they cannot or will not change something and do not want to point you all too directly towards this until you ask. However, you are free to ask again and see what the answer is and why. I am not coming here often today as a result of past experiences but some things somtimes are fixed. And this is a very obvio

Hello, there is a less common issue when using Start11 with hidden taskbar on a PC over a remote connection (in my case, using RustDesk): when I hide the taskbar using the Windows function, it works flawlessly. When I allow Start11 to enhace the taskbar, disable Windows own hide taskbar feature and use the one from Start11, it immediately stops working to show the taskbar when the mouse cursor comes to the bottom edge of the screen and does not bring it back up by any means. This only

[quote who="basj" reply="10" id="3960999"] From what I know, Fences don't delete off your desktop files or shortcuts when it does restore layout snapshot. So your files on your desktop should not physically be deleted off. Only the layout will changed. Please check if something else is deleting off those files or shortcut.

After the purge and new installation, now also some shortcuts keep dissappearing from my desktop as a new issue. I double checked using the File Explorer and with it the Desktop folder and they are not only visually gone but deleted. I guess, this is due to the strange resets Fences does. My guess is, that not only the Fences are resized but reset to a prior snapshot which did not contain the new shortcuts.
Stardock Forums
So, I tried to purge and reinstall and tested a few days now and already have seen some of the issues (not started at boot, resized Fences, lost icons – see initial post) again. That does not seem to work or make any difference so far.
Stardock Forums
Yeah, I know a new version is incoming. At least they finally have something like a notifier now. But I try to avoid beta versions when not absolutely neccessary; enough issues in the final versions for me. =(

Ah, finally found that option – only on the enhanced taskbar in context menu. Very unintuitive not putting this in the settings at least also, as usual. :-D Thanks, but I did not like it; feels strange and maybe with that approach Object Dock would make more sense (if not for the experience we made with it several years ago before they canceled it and the current pricing horror going on at Stardock). However, I guess I keep the enhanced taskbar at least for the additiona

Hello, can someone confirm that it is not possible to create a floating taskbar when using the Windows setting to automatically hide the taskbar? I have tried several times following the instructions of the blog entry published for this some weeks ago already and never succeeded. Then I have read a comment, that this is not possible in this combination. Can someone confirm this? No guessing, please! Best regards, Tim

Hello, to all of you wondering: yes, there currently are several issues with Fences 4 (4.22) on Windows 11 24H2 (Pro, 26100.3037 on my end). Those just started suddenly some weeks ago and most likely are caused by a Windows update (my guess). There are dozens of reports around the net already, mostly of newer date so that would fit. Including: - Fences not started at boot sometimes (4 out of 10 cases, maybe) - Fences context menu entries missing for unknown rea

Is is a yearly purchase then, okay. Not interested. Will simply unsubscribe the newsletter then since it is nagging so hard to buy it. Would be better if one could choose what news to receive and for what products. Can be closed.

Hello! =) You know, every second email i receive from Stardock tells me to buy Object Dock already! Kind a bit annoying and since i only use Start11 and Fences 4 i do not see a reason to buy the whole suite which is much more expensive. However, things have changed lately with the new licence system. While i could simultanously install my applications on five independant systems before, is now need a licence for each or to buy the new multi-device-licences which cost me
Hello Basj, unfortunately i do not have the time and means to do a video currently (pandemic and what not) and was just looking for a quick tip to continue working. Yet, it is REALLY easy: i set up two Fences, let's call it "A" and "B". I then set the default filter for shortcuts to send them to Fence "A" but they are send to Fence "B" instead. Sending files and folders only using the default filters works correctly for all file types except shortcuts (LNK).
Hey, i am using Fences version 3.0.9.11 on Windows 10 Pro 20H2 x64 . While working mostly as expected, maybe aside from the messy settings dialogue, i found one thing that seems to be a real bug . I created several fences on my desktop and assigned several file types to them using the default filters and just changing the target fence. That works for all files so far except Shortcut
It is such a drama with Objectdock for years now ... however, now we know the reason at least. Not that the dock always had ... "issues"! [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e] In each version. And some bugs are open since ... ah, i forgot. So, maybe we should gather some good reasons to show Stardock why they should further support the dock; and re-writing it sounds like a really, REALLY good idea to me as a solid basis! I go first: 01.) Remember your companies name</stro
