SAB might be at fault!
Maybe @Tihiy knows a fix.

Well I guess I'm glad I posted then

.

So why does the other version of sab work when everyone's saying it's not supposed to worrk?

Only issue I'm facing is the quick launch icons are rearranging randomly on a reboot, aside from that everything works fine.
I did a little search on the icons rearranging and it seems it's been a windows issue since back in windows 7 days. Saw some post on forums of people having issues and they were using 7, xp and 10 and people were experiencing the issue. So weird

That's how I interpreted the whole, did not yet test SAB testversions, because I am not on 24H2.

Indeed, I interpret it in the same way. If installed, "User beware". Users may or may not experience issues.

Reporting a bug. When using the taskbar with StartAllBack 3.7.11 , Windows 11 Pro 24H2, Google Chat app won't show the "red dot" badge on the icon (never combine) when new message comes.

That is an Insider version of 24H2 and if you had carefully read this whole topic, you could have know that the 'old' versions of StartAllBack (SAB) do not function anymore in 24H2, as far as the (Windows 10) taskbar is concerned. It was originally blocked by MS, then altered by the dev of SAB so that it would sense 24H2 and switch off the taskbar functions if that version of Windows would be detected.

That is why the dev (Tihiy) is doing his utmost to get a new version ready, for which he made a testversion as was announced in post #1354.

So you might install that version to see what it's doing, but you might get all kinds of problems with it, because "It's unfinished preview and is for testing only."

I don't know what exact version you are using, but as you wrote you are on 24H2, please read this topic, at least from post #1354.

I can no longer edit that post, but that was a typo, it should have been 23H2

I cannot edit your post either, but you could edit your system specs, so that there's more there than just 'Windows 11'
If you click 'My Computer' below this post, you can see an example of how to fill that in.
Your own system specs are to be found here.

In the upper quote I changed 24H2 to 23H2 and react to that:
It seems to me very unlikely, that the developer of StartAllBack (SAB) @Tihiy will correct any bugs for the present version for 23H2. He is much too busy programming the new SAB for the future 24H2, that will come out rather soon (general release expected about September 2024). Only 2 month to go...

I think you will have to accept SAB as it is now. Even if a certain app does not do what you are execting of it. But as I have no contact whatsoever to Tihiy, of course I don't know for sure what he still is intentending to do about older versions of SAB.

What? No more panic to be had? What will people freak out about now though?

Can you please link to the installer ? It does not autoupdate from the 3.8 BETA, nor does it find any update when trying manually.

PS. Found, thank you.

Hello, I have an issue with Atomic alarm clock from build 3.7 (on SaB 3.6 is works normally). Each time after boot I got to state on the first picture and after changing checkbox "Use a new font for classic UI" in Advanced tab (doesn't matter if check or uncheck, simply change state) it starts work properly (on tle last pic). Is possible to check, where is the issue? Thanks I forgot Os Win11 23h2 22631 and SaB 3.8RC, but I have the same issue on different builds of Win11 and SaB all versions after 3.6.16

3.8 doesn't even have that option.
Try adjusting Clock defaults under Tray icons...
