Ok, windowblinds reinstalled, no other Stardock apps. Crashing has stopped. So it has to do with the combination of windowblinds and start11. I'm gonna install Start 11 now and see if the crashes and non startups come back.
Ok, so what happened to the ability to deactivate apps from My Downloads page? I may need help with activations.
For the record, after the uninstall of windowblinds beta 2 and start11, and a reboot, all the startup programs once again run at startup. No explorer crashes. These are CursorFX, Razer Synapse, O&O desktop info, some widgets from MS Store, and GSkill RGB software.
Ok, ObjectDesktop repeatedly asking for a WB update. I am still getting crashes, and several programs that were running at startup with beta 1 will not auto start with beta 2. Only changes made today is beta 2 and everything was fine this morning. I figure the first response is gonna be, "Windowblinds would have no effect on startup programs." But it is. Now, with the stress of my son's illness, I will try to be patient,
Is this Beta 2?
Me either.
Nope. Ran FurMark and it immediately shut off.
Hmmm, well, for shits and giggles, I tried something. My PSU has an 8 pin and a 6 pin. I used an 8 pin extension on the 6 pin along with the 8 pin, and played the game with no issues. But since I already ordered the new PSU, I'll go ahead and use it when it gets here.
Thank you Paul. I'll hop the big pond sometime and you can teach me. [e digicons]:beer:[/e]
I just bought a new PSU with 2X8 pins.
I can't seem to find that info anywhere.
Thanks everyone.
Fuck it.
Dammit.
Guys, I need you once again. I was told today that my youngest son is in ICU and may not see the morning. It involves a stroke and a bad infection. He's in Virginia, so I haven't seen him. I'm told that if they have to intubate him tonight, he probably won't come off it. Prayers and vibes, thoughts, etc. needed.
Good idea! Thanks!
[quote who="Jafo" reply="4" id="3868305"] The reason a card might have 2 cables is to increase power consumption [capacity]. The splitter simply halves what is needed to each so simply won't work at 'capacity'...instead the PSU will trip and shutdown totally...[e digicons];)[/e] [/quote]Pretty much what I thought was happening. I guess I need a new/better PSU.
BUMP
Hey gamers! I have a gamer question. Ok, I have a graphics card that requires 2 x 8 pin cables. I only have one 8 pin on my PSU. So I bought a cable that splits one 8 pin into two 8 pins. It works fine until I play a game and then it shuts down my PC after just a few minutes. So, I ran a graphics card stresser, Unigine Superposition Benchmark which also shut down my PC. Is it because of the splitter? Do I need
I expect the frames and titlebar buttons to remain as the skinner intended. Just like they did in WB10.
[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="24" id="3868088"] The ideal world has skin authors creating dark mode images (and also high dpi images really). Then this help WB has to do is no longer needed. [/quote]Do the skinners know this? All that said, Neil, I know what I'm about to say isn't gonna scare Stardock in any way, but I will totally abandon Windowblinds if this isn't fixed in some way. Then, most likely, I would eventually drop Stardock altogeth
[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="23" id="3868087"] There are also options to disable that feature or alter the amount of darkening. [/quote]Where might I find this option?
Just to reiterate, when you get beta 2 fixed, can you fix this? It really sucks. I mean no longer using Windowblinds kinda suck. The frames shouldn't change. I use dark mode "in windows" exclusively, and this is enough to cause me to abandon Windowblinds. Pretty sure I'm not alone.
[quote who="sdRohan" reply="3" id="3867938"] 11/01/2022 We have rolled back the Beta 2 build, reverting back to Beta 1, as we found some possible Windows Explorer Crashes with AMD video card PCs. [/quote]The rigs I posted about in the other beta thread all have AMD video cards and were having the explorer crashes. Hopefully you found the issue that is causing my issues. I will say though that having uninstalled Start11 stopped my crashes. Ad
I have been having explorer crashes quite often on multiple rigs. It seems to be connected to having multiple Stardock apps running. These include WB11, Start11, WinFX, and CursorFX. Latest versions of each. CursorFX failed to load at startup, WinFX animations would freeze and crash explorer. I uninstalled all that and the issue is gone. Oddly, a few other apps like Razer Synapse and GSkill RGB ram app also failed to load at startup, but they are fine
