[BUG/FIX] Configurator Freezing / Crashing / Not Saving #980

Open fkix opened 2 years ago

fkix commented 2 years ago

Windows 10 Version 21H2 Build 19044.1826 TaskbarX Version 1.7.6.0

I have experienced the configurator freezing, crashing, and not saving. The bug is inconsistent and I could not find a way to reproduce it. However, I did figure out that something seems wrong with the taskschedule for TaskbarX on startup, making it run with default settings. Then when I try to change the settings and hit apply, the configurator becomes unresponsive.

The temporary fix is not using the taskschedule, and using a shortcut instead. I will explain the steps for anyone stumbling across this and wondering how to do it.

  1. Open and set up all the desired settings in the configurator
  2. Go to the Startup tab and click "Generate"
  3. Copy the text in the "Shortcut link" box
  4. Open the Windows startup folder by hitting Win+R on the keyboard and typing in "shell:startup"
  5. Right click and create a new shortcut
  6. Paste the text into the location
  7. Open up Task Manager and make sure the startup is enabled in the startup tab
  8. Go back to the Startup tab in the configurator and click the "Remove" button

Make sure not to hit the "Apply" button as it creates the taskschedule again.
