Yes, I can still download the latest version but from Start10 update menu itself. Anyway, I'll probably try again after a full image backup of my system disk, just in case... Thanks !

Hi, I just found out that previous updates are stored in C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Start10\Update I picked version 1.75, installed it over the current one and this time it displays the right version. Before installation, I have stopped all start10 tasks and service and also Explorer.exe. After a full backup I'll try the current update, or will wait for the next one... Regards.

Hi, Thanks for the reply and the instructions. Will the purge remove the license also ? I got mine in a package, Object Desktop, but maintenance has expired now and I suspect it won't activate again.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. The name of the installer downloaded here from the update window ( https://www.stardock.com/products/start10/update?utm_source=stardock-software&utm_medium=start10&utm_campaign=in-app-update ) is Start10_1.80_setup_sd.exe but after install & reboot, it is still 1.61. S

BTW : it would be really nice is Start10 update could be performed without a reboot. Even when closing Explorer and the remaining Start10 task, my PC still asks for reboot after the update.

If I may add, one should also check that hiberfil.sys (hidden + system file) is present on the system drive. If not, hibernation can be activated from an admin cmd.exe, using "powercfg -h on". BTW, on my system, after updating to version 1.8, 1.61 info is still displayed. Trying again...
