reapply on explorer reload

[oatmealcookiec]

Great utility, work on Windows 11 23h2.
But there is a small problem - after restarting explorer.exe need restart start.exe
Is it possible to fix it somehow and keep the program constantly?

[oatmealcookiec]

Thanks for the quick response.
Will be waiting for an update!

it happens because after restarting explorer, StartMenuExperienceHost.exe also gets restarted

this is understandable, but there is 100% a way for it to work even after restarting explorer, as the author of the program wrote

[rounk-ctrl]

._. i am the author. Sure there is a way, but that would require the app constantly running in the background

Oh, sorry. I didn't notice that you are the author.
Is it possible to make a .dll library that can be registered using the regsvr32?
Well, or at least a version that will work constantly in the background?
With respect.

[rounk-ctrl]

yea i plan to make it a regsvr32 dll

Great news. Waiting for update. Thank you

Yes, I didn't look at who the author was at first :)
it would be ideal if the author also added the function of deleting (hiding) the 'recommend' section
I know about the scheduled task in the scheduler, but it's still better to wait until the author does it in the .dll regsvr32

use Explorer hook like ExplorerBlurMica?

[rounk-ctrl]

how will explorer hook help with start menu, which is hosted in a diff process

[AlexanderJustin183]

shellexperiencehost.exe hook?

[Kelerexto]

that is something that could be added in down the road, but for now there are a few good workarounds. I'd suggest to create a task in Task Scheduler, have it trigger when explorer.exe starts, and point it to start.exe, this should have the effect of automatically restarting TranslucentSM along with explorer cheers

How do i set it so that the event trigger is when startmenuhost.exe starts up?

haha yes I am just a guy who likes to help ;) All credit to Rounk-ctrl!

If Rounk is making this into a registered dll, that will be a better solution than my above work-around, and I would probably suggest to just wait instead.

That said, I have it auto-restarting now with v0.4 using a scheduled task that launches start.exe every time startmenuexperiencehost.exe is started, and the cmd window is hidden using advancedRun (also useful for other mods like TranslucentFlyouts v2 for example)

@bbmaster123 I tried making a task but it won't execute (on logon) but runs fine manually. Could you export and share your task?

[Undisputed00x]

Why is this issue still open, another guy have already provided a workaround #13 (comment).
Make a logon scheduled task of that and you are fine to go.

[rounk-ctrl]

because i need to implement it?
