Task Manager will not close if right click close in taskbar under Start 11.

July 17, 2023 7:14:00 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Open Task Manager.Right click on Taskbar and select Task Manager.

Then right click to Close on Task Manager in Taskbar and select close...Did not close for me.

Must X out of the actual Task Manager window. Only occurs while Start11 is running as I tried this with and without. I believe I ran into a few more Windows/programs that also have this issue. But do not recall off-hand

 



Thank you very much
Peter

Thank you, it works on Win 10 perfectly. Not a big deal.

Thanks

I will keep adding to this over time:

Also noticed if you ran a program shortcut  to a  bat file (in another directory, with Pause a tend) lets say from desktop that invoked CMD and ran various commands without "Exit"  at the end that you cannot right click and close this from taskbar either. BUT if the .bat file was not a shortcut and had all the commands in it (on desktop -pause at end) , it would close with a right click.

There is a shortcut on my desktop called Event Log Explorer (free program)  and that will not close with a right click on taskbar. The program is in the x86 program files directory. Now another program (free) called File Locator Pro (or Agent Ransack-free will close from taskbar. This program runs in the 64 bit program files directory. Hmm. Wonder if there is something related if program is 32 or 64 bit and run from a desktop shortcut that Start11 will not close if 32 bit. You can try these programs. Might be others. Not cramping my lifestyle but just bringing this up to you. **However in Start10 these all work and can close from taskbar

This shortcut on desktop will not close With taskbar: %windir%\System32\SystemPropertiesProtection.exe

Shortcut to Services will not close from taskbar either: C:\Windows\System32\services.msc 

Shortcut to SYSTEM will not close on desktop

Shortcut to Windows Update on desktop will indeed close properly... ms-settings:windowsupdate

Basj, Thank you. On that page  for myaccout/products I do not see my Start11 even though I did purchase and  activate it. I see my old Start8 and Start 10. Not sure why it did  not show up there. My version is 1.46 and it says licensed in the About screen of Start 11.  Bought on 7/15/23. No rush

Have a good day.

Peter

One little thing I did notice and I’m not sure if it’s a Windows 11 or lStart 11 or combination.

On occasion I will click on lthe start menu and then type in the word "sound".

 

I have a choice above of an application and then I have a few choices below that have to do with various sound options

Sometimes I notice if I click on those options that are not the application, but are listed below the application, then, after clicking instead of launching that shortcut or setting, it actually just opens file explorer.

I haven’t been able to trace if this is is start 11 or a Windows issue. Next time I will check my event log for the heck of it.

 

 If I reboot it works fine.

 

Just an FYI thank you. No need to reply.
