Encountering some issues

Links quit working unexpectedly

November 27, 2022 3:37:31 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I love Tiles a lot, but after it's been running awhile, I've encountered some strange behavior that requires exiting and restarting it.  For example, I restarted Windows 11 from sleep, worked on various things in browsers and pdf viewers for half the day not using Tiles (but with Tiles running and docked on the side of the screen), but then brought up Tiles to try to work on a project that I have a page setup for.  But, the nothing would happen when I would click on the link I wanted (a shortcut to an application).  When I hovered over the application link, it instead showed the text from a different icon on the page.  One of the applications on the page had crashed earlier (Foxit pdf viewer).  Could the unexpected crash of one of the applications the Tiles page is tracking cause the issue?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, do know that Tiles is not yet compatible with Windows 11 as mentioned here: https://forums.stardock.com/505717/stardock-app-compatibility

Thanks

Ah, ok - I didn't realize there wasn't official compatibility yet with Win 11 when I made the purchase.  Tiles was the primary app I was interested in when I bought Object Desktop.  Win 11's multiple desktops still don't allow distinct sets of icons/shortcuts on individual desktops, but Tiles more or less provides the type of task segmentation I was looking for.  Previously, I'd used Dexpot for that - a free utility that provides multiple desktops with distinct icons & shortcuts.

Is there a way I can put in my vote for Stardock's staff to put effort into providing official compatibility for Tiles on Win 11?  I'm encountering issues infrequently enough that I'm still sticking with Tiles, but I'd love to have a more stable Win 11 version.

Thanks!

I believe, they too read through the forums here, so your putting in your issue here is a good enough things to do. We always appreciate your feedback.
