Just fyi future info, short story. This should help in other things and not just games.
I have a logitech g502 lightpseed mouse. It uses a program called lg hub, which lets you set like gaming profiles or macrs and such, for 1 click macros, which is nice.
Well I ran into a snag where I couldn't get my profiles to work in a game.
Come to find out steam does their pathing to the exe weird, they launch the game but it has a path to the exex where it makes steam launch it, not like your typical single folder exe launch of the game. The way lg hub functions is it goes off the direct exe file, and if another exe is being used first to lauch something it won't work, kinda like this program.
So this is what I did to fix it:
I launched the game regular thru steam. Once the game was up and running I did alt+tab and ran task manager, and found the game running, clicked on the exe/game running and hit properties. It pops up a properties box just like it does in windows and under "location" it gives you the path its running. You just copy and paste that where you need it.
Steam runs like steam.exe the a long string to the games exe, kinda like windows it uses scripting of sorts like %wind% and such, so since lg hub/taskgroup programs don't see the scripted line it doesn't work.
So maybe if you find a program that you can't find the exe for, next time do this trick, start the app, run task manager and find out where it's runng the exe from and use that path in the task group shortcut. It works for LG hub I'm sure it'll work the same for most anything else in windows.
Anyways glad it worked, this means windows won't block it, because it's withing the new wwindows 11 taskbar coding now, and not windows 10. They are nixing ot re-writring the windows 10 taskbar out of the code now for future windows 11 versions this is why it's gradually breaking all the 3rd party progams from working.
