Hmm, amazon_devil's input there was quite enlightening. Any development with this, Stardock guys? There's obviously something in Start11 which is nuking Expolore.exe, somehow, somewhere under some circumstances. I'm afraid in the meantime I've given up on Start11 and gone back to Start10 which has none of these issues. Maybe there's a clue right there?

Thanks guys, for your responses. In the end I went with the current "Shark007" 32bit version of the LAV codecs available from https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/lav_filters.html . These worked fine, as I daresay those recommended by you guys would have too. Best wishes to all.

Quite deeply it seems, as it responds to all sorts of mi

As I have plainly stated before. <span style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, s

Hi Sean, thank you for your very prompt reply. Like I said: my experience with Stardock customer service has always been great. I'm very busy at present, but I will endeavour to provide the crash dumps you requested. <span style="background-color: #fdfdfd;

I like Stardock products and have never had any problems with your customer service; it's always been perfectly fine. So I hate to add my voice to this issue, but ... I too use Dragon NaturallySpeaking 15 and right-clicking on any part of the Start11 panel (if Dragon is running) instantly causes Explorer to crash and restart. This is completely reproducible. If Dragon is closed , the crash issue disappears . This also is completely repr
