Well Sean, I found the smoking gun! Auslogics Boostspeed 11, Protect Tool, Privacy Cleanup report, Traces in Applications header: C:\ProgramData\STARDOCK\DeskScapes\License.sig Application Usage History and Recent Document History item. Removing this item is recommended. removed This was being removed every night
No. I looked in history of all 3 programs I mentioned. I was looking for anything StarDock related, not specifically the License.sig file, but didn't find anything, sorry. The exclusions did fix the problem though. You were right, 1 of the 3 were definitely causing the issue. It has ran clean for 2 days now. If you'd like I could remove the exclusions 1 at a time to find out which program blows it up. I do appreciate you and the others that helped me out on this.
Thank you all for the help. CursorFX is back up and running. I have excluded all Stardock folders, especially the Program data Stardock folder from Defender, Malwarebytes and Boostspeed. I will report back tomorrow with the results. I think you've got it though.
AzDude, I appreciate you jumping in to help me out. I like your work very much. I have done as you asked and will report back after letting it run for awhile. Thanks again.
Update, I have followed your suggestion for deleting deskscapes in program data and registering several times with and with out reboot after deletion. It says registration was successful, runs all day unless rebooted or sits idle over-nite and then goes to black background. If I open deskscapes it asks for product key, I put it in and it says it was successful. If I enter my stardock login credentials that also is accepted. That is the pattern.
DUH, that was pretty dumb of me! I'll delete that. Yes I went to my acct and CFX does not have manage option. the PC it was on was named Insanity7. Thank you for your help and patience.
Basj, Thank you for the quick response. I went to the program data folder and the PRODUCTNAME folder was not there. I will update post tomorrow if it continues to act up. As far as CFX is concerned, I had cursorFX on my win 7 PC and bought CFX Plus as a guest and had it installed on it. I have built a new win 10 machine and I installed it on it thinking once I owned it I could put it on whatever I wanted. The Win 7 machine really no longer exists to deactivate. Any Ideas.
Hello all. I recently purchased Cursor FX and Object Desktop. I have CFX and Dreamscapes 10 installed on latest update of win 10 pro. PC is always on. Both programs ran fine for about 3 weeks, then starting with DS10 desktop was black and it was asking for me to enter a product key which I did and it said activation was successful. This happens overnite and each morning it is the same routine. To add to my frustration, Cursor FX started doing the exact same thing. Now both apps forget they ar
