As long as this thread has been revived, the issue remains with version 1709, which is the version I'm currently running. SD support believes the issue is resolved with the Fall Creators Update, but I've done everything I can to delay/avoid feature updates in self-defense (shoutouts to Jafo & DrJBHL), so it may be a while before I can confirm whether it is indeed resolved with the FCU.

Since it had been a while, I decided to take the current version of Brave for another spin. Remains lightning fast, very noticeably faster than FFQ and Opera. Far and away the best at rendering & sizing window content of all the sites I regularly visit/use, and I mean flawlessly, with one ironic exception: JU - the Quick Reply dialog will simply not appear (I'm back on Opera for this, obviously) despite lots of hunting around in settings for something that might let it s

Jorge - What people do voluntarily to allow intrusion of the internet into their lives is one thing. Not for me to say whether that is a good or bad idea for them. My opinion is irrelevant to their needs and wants. But the inexorable march of OS's & software to subscription-based access (I'm typing this on one of Stardock's sites, ironically, to which I willingly subscribe because I see value there) is both unfortunate and unavoidable because there ha

If you've modified any of the Windows Update 'features' with Group Policy Editor (available with Pro version only, I think), it will give you that message; at least it has here. It assumes GPE is managed by your IT department, I guess, even when it's just you.[e digicons]:\[/e]

As regards page rendering, Brave has been by far the best I've used, flawlessly rendering every page I ever visited and very fast. Its Achilles heel, and the only reason I don't use it as my daily driver, is it doesn't handle PDF rendering internally well and breaks my daily workflow which involves viewing & editing PDF's regularly. That's based on its version from 6-8 months ago at which time it wouldn't accept the Adobe PDF plugin, so things might have changed. </

The short answer is 'No'. Application updates are not available after a subscription expires. Stardock can't anticipate or take responsibility for what Microsoft does with Windows updates. There is simply no way to 'future-proof' such software. If a Windows update breaks an SD app, you'll have to have an active subscription to access the fixed app when made available.

Should have screen-capped or quoted it. They edited the article to fix it later that day.

Thanks, ID. Then may I humbly request the design team redesign its appearance to blend better. Just a suggestion, since you've gone to all that trouble to do the forum makeover.

Is there a way to toggle off the sidebar on JU? If there is, I can't find it. If not, that's my suggestion box item for today - it's redundant, not to mention ugly & inconsistent with the forum redesign. Thanks, Daiwa

[quote who="jrpetit" reply="14" id="3703928"] Since I need Object Desktop to install available software it gives me, all uses of such software effectively become bound to that license. [/quote] That's actually not the case. The phrase "Object Desktop" is a trade name which refers to the suite of applications that are bundled under the subscription. There is no "Object Desktop installer or application" to be needed - one doesn't exist. The individual applica
