Good day, as a long time user of Startx products I have enjoyed the program. Four months ago I paid for Start11. Is it my understanding that if I want Start11v.2 that I have to pay another fee? Thanks in advance for your response.
Can we get a feature option to hide labels when our cursor is placed on a selection on the right pane of Win 7 Style? The labels often cover the information I am seeking on the opening menu.
Thank you Neil.
Additionally, Start10 allowed expansion of the number of program links on the left panel ANDright now, every program on my computer has been added automatically when I installed the trial version of Start11. but only 10 are shown. I cannot see any of the rest of them until I delete a link, then one more different program shows up. How do I simply get rid of them all and let me add what I want? Also, is there a way to back up my configuration? Finally,
Thank you for your response. Win 7 and left panel
I have been a user of Start 10 and Start 8 for years. Switching to Start11 provides a much less convenient settings options. After searchng all options numerous times, how do I add or subtract program links without having to individually with a right click? Used to be able to do it all in settings.
Neil, As I have said, I am done with any further investigation, but as a courtesy, it was the Advanced Threat module in Acronis True Image 2021 that alerted me to the potential problem (it guards mostly against ransomware attacks). Perhaps, if you are unfamiliar with "Injection Processes", you may want to familiarize yourself with this relatively new malware (many times it writes nothing to your system but merely diverts to its specific targeted advertising). The point is
A final comment: Once I got rid of Start10, I have had no issue with explorer.exe consuming more than an average of 0.5 % of my CPU resources. While it went unnoted by me when it occurred, one of my security programs alerted me to numerous injection malware processes instigated by Start10, which I allowed since I have had no issues with Start10 for years. In hindsight, I should have denied access by these "labeled" malware injections, if for no other reason than to see if TH
Basj, I sincerely appreciate your continued assistance with this topic. Unfortunately, nothing that you have suggested has helped in the least bit. After spending additional hours creating new user accounts, disabling all services except Start10, disabling all startup services, using Start10.bat (which failed...I have screen shots), using start10 cleanup Purge All.bat (which failed...I have screen shots), using sfc /scannow, using DISM (both of which found nothing to repai
Frankly, I have spent MANY hours trying to figure this out. I created a new administrator account and it did nothing to change anything. With no windows open, Windows Explorer is still consuming 24% of my resources. I have not done a clean boot on the new account, yet, if ever. I am tired of wasting not only my CPU resources but my personal time. I have tried to downgrade to 1.9.6 and that has not helped, but the problem began only a few months ago so I sus
Update...while the reinstall and supposed purge (which does not totally purge EVERYTHING and only elicits a bunch of error messages in the Cmd window), the reinstall only works until a shutdown or restart, then clicking on the start button opens the menu for .25 seconds and immediately closes, no matter what I do. What is going on with Start10????
Neil, While I accept and appreciate your thoughts on the issue, opening 2 windows should not increase CPU usage to a level of 20-70%. After following Basj's suggestion, my CPU resource usage has dropped to 1% or less, even with 5 windows open. Thank you for your attention. Best, WW8
Basj, As of right now (one never knows what will happen 5 minutes from now), your suggestion did the trick. I guess after 10 years of updates with no purges, something created a loop with my CPU, which could not be resolved other than a purge. Thank you for your suggestion! Best, WW8
I have been a user of the Start programs since Start8. I have never had an issue with any version, but in the last few months, I have noticed a constant CPU usage of 7-70%, which I could not understand. I blamed it on Win 10. I was running v. 1909 until recently when I upgraded to v. 21H1. I was hoping that would resolve the problem, as was MS. It did not. I finally gathered the resolve to do a clean boot and add my startup services one by one.
