Hook error

[IdkWhatToCallMe123]

After this popup I get the notification and my mouse lags a bit but then it crashes.

Do you use StartAllBack or ExplorerPatcher?

I managed to get it working once by adding the settings.cfg file but it only worked once, after which the following message appeared:

After that it didn't work anymore. (I don't have ExplorerPatcher or StartAllBack installed)

Please provide more information about your windows installation (build number, version, sku, screen resolution, and screen scale)

Do also keep in mind that, these errors will be frequent, as i said, this is a proof of concept software.

I view the source code , the FindAndActiveWindow function using keyword Start, but windows start window name is the localized word of Start. For example, my Windows language is Chinese Simplified，it named 开始, so i switch the system language to English(USA), the Startify work normally.

Thank you so much for pointing that out 👍, i didn't think about that this window can have its name localised, sorry

I will look into making a better start button hook. If someone has an idea for a better way to hook the original start menu (make startify open instead of the stock windows start menu when using windows button on taskbar or on keyboard, let me know, thanks again to you all 😀)

If someone has an idea for a better way to hook the original start menu

Would it be helpful to look at how openshell does it?

Well actually i tried that before, but i couldn't understand anything from that because it was too cluttered
