[quote who="LightStar" reply="4146760" id="542403"] But I am on Windows 10 pelaird. [/quote] I knew that. Sorry. I copied this from an email I had sent to my brother who was having the same issue.

That is a known issue with Windows 11. Here is a link to an article on the false notification for Windows Defender. https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/08/30/windows-11-is-warning-virus-protection-is-off-but-microsoft-confirms-its-false/

Here is the AI Overview from Google for that notification. <div class="OZ9ddf WAUd4" style="font-family: 'Google Sans', Roboto, Arial, sans-serif, 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: -8px 0px 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(22, 23, 26);" data-copy-service-computed-style="font-family: "Google Sans", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif, "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: -8px 0p

[quote who="jacrowell" reply="4146712" id="542167"] Nope. No effect, hence my original post. [/quote] That's unusual. It works on my system everytime. As a test, open the AltTabby Config app and once open, right-click the AltTabby icon in the taskbar and select Pin to taskbar. Now choose Disable AltTabby and close the config app. Then click the AltTabby icon in the taskbar to open the config app and select a style. This should reestablish the AltTabby s

[quote who="jacrowell" reply="4146706" id="542167"] Also just noticed that the "Disable AltTabby" button is irreversible within a login session, I had to sign out & back in again to get AltTabby to work again. [/quote] All you have to do is open AltTabby config and select a style.

[quote who="LightStar" reply="4146697" id="542404"] Yeah, that is what I see too basj, but why the change? I preferred the way it was. [/quote] Just a suggestion. You could create browser shortcuts to the Forum categories you frequent most often.

I honestly can't remember what was in the side panel before, but perhaps they should make the WinCustomize Forum similar to the Software Forum with the main categories listed at the top of the Recents as in Reply #1 above. EDIT: I just realized that if you click on a Category on the right column, it does display the main categories at the top. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/69/28/6928565/d/7d041700-6ed8-4446-8be1-cb562ab4e502.jpg" alt="" width="471"

[quote who="basj" reply="4146694" id="542404"] Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, I see this on my system. [/quote] Had to widen my browser window, and then what was displayed at the bottom jumped to the side as you pictured. Turns out I had my browser set at 110%.

If you go to WinCustomize Home and hover over Forums and then select View Forums, you get redirected to a page of Recent Posts. Now scroll all the way to the bottom and you should see a list of links to the Categories.

Yes. They appear to be making a few changes. This is what I see. Categories at the top. If you click the small arrow next to Stardock Software there are few more choices.

I don't and never have used Core Isolation. As far as I'm concerned, it's unnecessary if you are vigilant with your security. One saving grace is that it doesn't like some older drivers, so many of those older PC's wont get it turned on. I believe this is why Microsoft has been focusing a lot of attention on hardware drivers lately. To get ready for this action of turning on Core Isolation. I remember, years ago, that Microsoft wanted to lock down the Kernel, but too many deve

I asked because usually when an .ico or .png file has a black background, it's because the Alpha channel is missing, so it gets displayed as black. Files of .ico and .png types that are synced with OneDrive are notorious for this, and it has been going on for years. However, they usually display correctly on the Start11 menu.

[quote who="c242" reply="4146499" id="542312"] My desk at work with my own SysCanvas and FlickDock, Unfinished iconset 1/3 and EmilyDesk Widgets. I really like what JuniorCrooks has done here until now. And I really like the small RAM footprint of all the new tools we can create now. [/quote] Nice! 😊

[quote who="ByteX" reply="4146460" id="542343"] What a web-only shell changes is not the billing, it is whether you get to keep a copy of anything. That is the part worth defending, and it is worth arguing separately, because the subscription fight was over years ago. [/quote] Usually what happens when a software subscription is allowed to lapse, it looses it ability to edit files. For instance, if your subscription to MS 365 lapses you can still run the software and o
