search in start menu does not work each time (~50% times it does not work)

Dennis 3 years ago updated by Michael (Ramen Software) 3 years ago 5

steps to reproduce:

- ensure 7tt is up and running

- press start button (or windows key on KB)

- start typing: cmd

=> nothing happens (i.e. it supposed to show "cmd" in search field and show results corresponding to "cmd")

- press start again and once again

- start typing: cmd

- it writes "cmd" and shows search results

it reproduces already really long time - more than a year afair so many 7tt versions are affected as well as many windows versions

some details below:

Hi Dennis,

I wasn't able to reproduce the problem. Also, the tweaker doesn't have any start menu related tweaks, so I don't believe that it's related. Do you only see this problem when 7+ Taskbar Tweaker is running? Do you also see it if all options are turned off?

right after these steps to reproduce i exited 7tt and tried again - and it started to work every time

after this - i started 7tt and again it issue is here

-1

also it is not always reproducing each time i try - sometimes issue does not reproduce even after first press of start button 
sometimes it is required to press start few times to make issue disappear,

most of the time i face this issue after several hours after startup (several hours of using laptop)

i.e. it is kind of flaky but statistically it happens quite often - from my impression close to 50%  

also it is worth to note that i don't have any other tweaking SW installed 

so yes answering your question: 

1) i only observe this issue when 7tt is running 

2) i've never tried to disable all 7tt options and run it 

2) Try it, perhaps you'll be able to find a single option responsible for the problem.

And in general, unfortunately I can't do much without being able to reproduce the problem. If you find a way to reproduce it, let me know and I'll investigate it further.
