[quote who="B-Erixen" reply="8" id="3957733"] I haven't used any such tools on this computer. I checked the Task Scheduler, and I don't even have the "PowerShell"-folder inside Library->Microsoft->Windows. [/quote] In my case the updates were happening as a hidden background process without my knowledge. I was almost certain this wasn't the case until I saw it happening via Task Manager. WinGet is a first party </
Have you ever used any "Windows 11 debloat" tools or something similar, used any custom managed/altered Windows 11 install method (through Rufus or something) or any type of powershell scripts/installers? Open Windows Task Scheduler, go to the Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > PowerShell > ScheduledJobs Do you see anything in there? In my case, Win-Debloat-Tools which I must have used years ago added automatic updates for one or more p
Ok, I actually changed my system time to tomorrow (January 15 to 11:59 AM) and about a minute later, Start11v2-setup.exe was running according to Task manager. I got hundreds of notifications about the folder watcher finding tons of new Start11 files being created/modified (relating to V2 presumably). I think this might be a problem on my end (and possibly OP's due to the timing, I would recommend them to look into their setup) The location Task manager gave f
I can't speak for them but I definitely don't have any updating software installed (aside from Windows Update which I doubt would do anything with Start11) , mine is start11 v1 standalone (not through Steam). I'm aware what the service details imply (that it won't help other than to show when it happened) but I'm bringing it up to see if they also have it, and if so whether or not it happens on any sort of interval or not. In my case the down
I made a support ticket about this exact issue, my V1 was somehow automatically changed to V2 yesterday (after rebooting I was prompted for a V2 license key, the V2 files themselves were downloaded on 1/9/2024). I never clicked to update or visited the stardock site to download an update. I noticed that a new system service for Start11 was installed seemingly automatically on 1/9/2024 just after noon for me - OP, can you check for something similar? (Windows event viewer > Windows
I think there are 4 related to the crash, there was one at 12:17:57, two at 12:18:02 and one at 12:18:09 Here is the first one, it says it's an 'error' Faulting application name: Explorer.EXE, version: 6.2.9200.16433, time stamp: 0x50763312 Faulting module name: msvcrt.dll, version: 7.0.9200.16384, time stamp: 0x5010ac20 Exception code: 0x40000015 Fault offset: 0x0000000000050aee Faulting process id: 0xb84 Faulting application start time: 0
This has happened 3 times in the past week, I don't have a screenshot but sometimes when I search in the start8 search box, I get a Runtime Error and explorer crashes, and it loads the metro interface and I have to open the 'desktop' back up. I don't know if it matters, but I do have the .net framework 4.5. It seems to be random, I mean I was typing 'Lord of the rings' in the search box and it crashed a few minutes ago, but now it works just fine.
