Two instances not working

Post by kentcl »

In XYplorer 28.40.0400 (running Windows 11 Pro) I can't no longer open two instances of the program with "Allow multiple Instances" checked. It works if I add /ini to the second instance.

Did you already try to tick Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Open new instance always? It should help.

I normally start with the version on the taskbar. Then if I need to, I (try to) start the second one via the shortcut on the desktop.

I tried this on another pc (Windows 11 Pro, administrator, 28.40.0600) and on that one it worked without problem (just with "Allow multiple Instances". So forget about it. The problem was within the first pc. On that one I keep it working with /ini.
