Can we get an update on this? It is still an issue as of 1.31.
Why was the Windows logo removed from the button selections? Can you please add it back as a configurable option within the StartButton images?
Can you please add the feature of holding SHIFT and then choosing Restart from the Start8 menu to enter into the Windows 8 recovery\diagnostic mode (also called the Advanced Startup Options menu)? This would be similar to the native behavior of Windows 8. Thank you!
I created a new support case for this. Ticket ID: SBB-252-30475 Subject: Office 2013 Jump Lists Not working &
FYI - I recently ran the SDSupportTool for another issue on the same computer that is having this issue and sent that file to support. The Ticket ID:
I was just able to recreate the issue on a system by clicking the "Connect To" option we have enabled on the Start8 Start menu. I ran the SDSupportTool and have sent the zip file to support.
I re-ran my test but unpinned Outlook from the Start8 Start menu before I ran anything. So to start, the Start menu recent apps was blank. I then ran Word 2013 a bunch of time saving files and Excel 2013 a bunch of time saving files. At no point did, the jump lists show. I reconfirmed if I pinned to the start menu or opened a file from the Recent Items list (and then saved it), jump lists start to appear. However, I also noticed another unex
I find this issue continues to be repeatable. However, I also found that if I open a document (example PowerPoint document) from the Recent Items list on the Start8 Start menu, then jump lists for that application (in this case, PowerPoint) will start to work.
I have a Jump List issue I have not seen reported on here yet. After days of using Start8, my jump lists have not been working - for Office 2013 applications. For built-in applications I was not having an issue. I rebooted several times. I tried opening dozens of files of each application. However, I then noticed that if I pin one of these same applications to the Start8 menu, then unpin that same application, jump lists will start to work.
I have seen this as well. I have had to turn off touchpad gestures. The unfortunately part is that I was bring up the charms accidently. It would be nice to see charms disabled completely when in desktop mode.
I agree this is an area of improvement. I believe Windows 7 does a much better job of listing frequently used apps vs. the recently used approach by Start8. I'm surprised MS does not expose an API that is already tracking this that Start8 can tap into. However, what I don't want to have to do is configure it or give certain applications one weight vs. another. It should be intelligent to figure this out on its own the way Windows 7 does.
I occasionally see the icon associated with the "Connect To" option (this is the option that brings up your list of network connections) on the start menu showing up in the list of recent apps. It shows up with the name of "25". I would not expect ever to see this show as a recent app. I have seen this on multiple computers running the latest released version of Start8.
I am testing configuring Start8 using Group Policy and I am having a problem with the "Right hand location shortcut" settings. I am testing in a Windows 2003 domain using a Windows 8 Pro system. in my test, policies settings within the Group Policy branch "User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start8" apply as expected. However, policies in the branch "User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start8 > Right hand location
I wanted to started off by saying I think Start8 is a great application and I am seriosuly considering it for a corporatewide rollout. However one of these things I notice that appears to be different from Windows 7 is the frequently used program algorithm that dynamically populates the start menu. With Start8, the algorithm seems to be very literal. If you use an application it will soon appear on the start menu, even if you have only used it once or
