Reply to Cannot reinstall Groupy 2 in Groupy WinCustomize Forums

Curious, was the original drive letter for your external drive reassigned to another drive? If not, you could change the external drive letter back to it's original letter using Disk Management. Another thing to try is to purge Groupy 2 using the purge tool located here. and then reinstall using the latest version available on your Account Download page <a href="https://store.stardock

Reply to Windows 10 no longer enabling me to customize desktop icons in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="JuniorCrooks" reply="3994017" id="541755"] Yes, but that is for a shortcut, not for the program .exe file. [/quote] Junior, Please look at Reply #2 where Reaper explains the process he was using to change the icon of a shortcut on his desktop. "I'm just right clicking on the shortcut, clicking properties, and clicking change icon. From there I go to various folders, where I have tons of ico's I have accumulated over the years and choose one

Reply to DeskScapes 2026 doesn't Survive Explorer Restart in DeskScapes WinCustomize Forums

Neil, For some reason Deskscapes64.exe isn't running properly after a restart of explorer.exe. Something must be blocking it. If I go to the Task Manager > Details, it says it's running, but if I "End Task" there, and then go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\DeskScapes\Deskscapes64.exe" and launch it, the desktop goes black and DeskScapes then loads. Or, if I Shift + Right-click on the deskt

Reply to DeskScapes 2026 doesn't Survive Explorer Restart in DeskScapes WinCustomize Forums

I updated to DeskScapes2026_26.0.1.0-j54-Setup yesterday and am still experiencing the explorer restart issue not starting DeskScapes. I have been searching the internet and my system for clues, but have not found any solution. If I understood what happens when Shift + Right-click on the desktop is executed, maybe I could narrow down where the issue originates. I will add that my setup has not changed from DeskScapes 11.0.2.0, and this did not happen then. Something has change

Reply to DeskScapes - Info pane in DeskScapes WinCustomize Forums

This is not what you are asking, but if you have "Show time and date in the System tray" turned on, you can add two additional clocks in the Notification panel. Once these are set, you can turn off the time and date in the system tray if you like. Go to Settings > Time & Language > Date & time > Show time and date in the System tray; and if "Show time and date in the System tray" if turned on, you can add two additional clocks to the Notification panel.

Will WindowBlinds Survive the next Major Update (26H2) in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Just read an article in Windows Latest By Mayank Parmar - May 31, 2026 In the article he talks about Microsoft replacing all the legacy dialog boxes being with WinUI 3 based dialogs. "Microsoft says it’s working on a major redesign of all existing legacy dialog boxes in Windows 11, and it’s going to be more than just a dark theme. Right now, Windows barely has modern (WinUI 3)-based pop-ups or dialogs, as most of the operating system falls back to the legacy side. This will

Reply to New Secure Boot Certificates for Older Computers in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Junior, That's a scarry moment for sure! There is no requirement to activate secure boot for Windows 10, so I would just let it be. There probably hasn't been a BIOS update for that motherboard in quite a while. I built my machine in 2017 and the OEM has not provided an update since 2022. As long as you are vigilant with security and keep Windows 10 updated you should be fine. MY wife's computer, a DELL from 2015 died recently and we replaced it with one of those mini PC's. It
