Crash On Launch

Post by Cassiel »

Since upgrading to Windows 10, I seem to be getting frequent crashes on start up. If I'm quick to switch tabs it seems to stop it from crashing (bizarrely).

I'm running in admin privileges (always have, so no prompts on protected folders) and 64bit edition.

Any ideas? Are there any logs I can provide that might help start investigating?

Hello and welcome,

First time I hear such thing.

Do you also get crashes with a fresh instance? (Maybe one of your XY configuration files is corrupt.)

Hi Don I followed the link you provided above to see what it said about fresh. Shouldn't that statement...
Type fresh; into the Address Bar and press Enter.
state "type ::fresh; into the address bar" especially considering it would be relatively new users being directled to the page and may not know you have to start a command with :: in the AB.

Well, by default you don't have to start a command with :: in the AB. Only a tweak can make it necessary. (This was different some years ago.)

Interesting that you said that because I was wondering when I wrote if there was a tweak involved. :whistle: I don't remember ever applying a tweak and I don't know why I would have, but I do know I have to use :: as it stands now to make fresh; work or I get no such directory exist message or similar. So I suppose I ought to apply that tweak. I wonder if it's because I've been using XYplorer long before the tweak came into existence? Thanks

Code: Select all

ScriptSmartDetect=1
:)

However, to work it makes another thing obligatory: the trailing semicolon.

Always works:
::fresh;

Always works:
::fresh

Works on ScriptSmartDetect=1:
fresh;

Never works:
fresh
