Issue: After upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11, a link to a UNC path does not work in SystemTrayMenu but functions correctly in Windows.
Workaround:
If you encounter a situation where a link to a UNC path doesn't work as expected in SystemTrayMenu after upgrading to Windows 11, but functions fine within Windows, you can try the following workaround:
Create a Share for the UNC Path:
On your system, create a share for the folder that has the UNC path you want to access.
Ensure the share has appropriate permissions to allow access.
Generate a Shortcut from the Share:
Navigate to the base path of SystemTrayMenu (STM) on your system.
Create a new shortcut and specify the network share path you created (e.g., "\Server\Share").
Test if the new shortcut functions correctly and opens the target directory.
This workaround involves accessing the UNC path through a network share, and it might help resolve the issue when SystemTrayMenu cannot handle the UNC path directly. By creating a network share, you provide an alternative method for accessing the target location within SystemTrayMenu.
Note: This workaround is intended as a temporary solution until the root cause of the issue is identified and addressed. It is recommended to follow up with the SystemTrayMenu developer or check for any updates to the software that might address the UNC path handling.
Please be aware that the effectiveness of this workaround may vary depending on the specific system configuration and any underlying issues related to the upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11.
