issues with explorer.exe #351

Open CristobalHV opened 3 years ago

CristobalHV commented 3 years ago

Hello! I've been having issues lately with this app, it makes windows explorer freeze and crash (won't respond unless I take task manager out to restart explorer)

I'm not sure if this is happening since the last windows update or the last sidebar update, but I've been having this issues for more or less a week

2. Your Operating System

Windows 10 Pro, 20H2, compiled ver. 19042.928

3. App Version

v3.5.8

4. Any Relevant Settings

Setting I have enables for the app: App runs at startup, always on top, auto updates, is on toolbar mode, is click through, only shows CPU, RAM and GPU

5. Steps to Reproduce

Boot my PC, log in, explorer freezes, sidebar and other programs load normally. Restart explorer via task manager, everything goes back to normal until I have to save/apply settings for sidebar, which freezes explorer again.

I disabled the sidebar at startup and PC boots normally, but once I start the sidebar app explorer freezes again.

Something else I noticed is once I restart explorer, explorer and the app will work more or less as intended, but having to restart explorer everytime I boot is annoying.

any help or pointers on what should I do would be appreciated :)
