After clicking on Help --> About XYplorer and then the Close button, XYplorer does not stay properly maximised.

What XY version and what OS?

Can't reproduce with XY 27.00.0027 on Win10.

I can confirm this. Must be related to the other problem I mentioned about the main screen shifting up after using the F9 config menu.

When this happens I also notice the font in the address bar changes, so maybe that's related as well.
The crashes I mentioned in another topic however did *not* come back, but looking back my guess is that also was somehow font related (not 100% sure however).

Yes, it's all the same error. I see it here, too, but only if I start the EXE from a LNK. The TB guys know about it but they are on summer break currently. I guess business goes on over there in September.

OS: Windows 8.

Windows 11 24H2 / XY 28.00.0000: XY remains maximized. Cannot reproduce the issue reported.

Just curious. Why is anyone still on any version of Win8?

Possibly because their hardware can't accommodate anything newer. Personally I'm still on Win10 because my three PCs don't have the hardware W11 "requires." And i'm not about to update one, let alone three PCs just for W11. When they release a version that might possibly introduce new features that I might need, then I'll think about new hardware. Until then, they can pry my W10 PCs out of my cold, dead hands.

If your system can run Windows 8/8.1 it can run Windows 10. FYI, the following web page provides detailed instructions for enrolling in Extended Security Updates (ESU) on Windows 10 to protect yourself due to end-of-life. I am not sure if links are legal on this forum so i changed all / to <slash> and : to <colon> and . to <dot>

That will be October, but the fixes will come.
