Great. I don't know why the issue happens, maybe an obscure Windows bug, but I changed the implementation such that the initialization should no longer be affected by it. You can update to v5.12.3.2 beta, please let me know if the issue occurs again.

Interesting. It looks like the operations to apply the disable_taskbar_transparency advanced option cause this. That's probably why no other users reported about it - it's not a commonly used option, and not all users report about all problems.

Can you turn it off and see if that fixes the problem?

OK, so it looks like something in SetOptions might cause it.

Here's a new build with debug logs in SetOptions:

I also added a slight delay for more deterministic output, initialization might take about five seconds instead of being instant.

Something very strange is going on there. The tweaker communicates with explorer and waits for a reply. The message goes through, but instead of a reply, the communication tears up early with an error. I have no explanation for this yet.

Here's a build with more logging. Please try it and attach its log, perhaps it can shed some light.

Here's a debug version:

It prints some tracing on initialization and saves them to a log file in the installation folder. Please install it, and once you encounter the issue, send me the log. I have some idea for the reason of the crash, it can happen if one of the functions fail, but I don't know why it would fail.

I looked at the dump. Something went wrong when setting up the initialization hook.

I haven't encountered this problem before, and it's tricky to understand what's going on from the dump because the dump doesn't contain executable sections.

I don't believe that the portable version or file permissions have any effect on this problem, it's more likely that you're just lucky and don't see this problem for now.

What I can do is send you a debug version of the tweaker which prints extra diagnostics. Perhaps it will allow me to understand what's the reason for this problem.

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.

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?

Making the taskbar too narrow, such that the icons are being cut off, causes the issue that you're describing. You posted two screenshots, and in both the icons were cut off and the taskbar was too narrow. Now it looks like you made it wider to post a screenshot, but it's possible that your taskbar is already in a bad state. Once you made it wide enough for icons not to be cut off, restart explorer and then see whether the issue persists.
