Microsoft Solitaire Collection not working as expected

March 30, 2013 1:37:23 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

The first time I run MSC in modern mode I create a windowed shortcut.  Running it brings up MSC in a window.  All is well at this point.  If I then exit MSC and fire it up again I see the windowed mode flash on my screen for a second and then I am thrown into the ModernUI Start screen.

 

Any ideas?  My other apps work fine in Windowed mode.  I believe this is a new version of MSC, fwiw.

Are you trying to relaunch it quickly after closing it?

Just ran MSC after an hour of not using my computer, same thing.

Try deleting saved settings in ModernMix for it.

I updated to the latest version of MSC here and it seems happy being launched in a window.

My problem is being caused by using this program to disable hot corners http://winaero.com/comment.php?comment.news.103

I re-enabled the hot corners and MSC works fine now.  MSC is the first new app I ran after I first started using this program so perhaps that''s why my 'old' metro apps worked.

Interesting.  We will see if there is anything we can do to prevent that conflict.
