If it comes back just let us know.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Windows Explorer crashes and restarts every time a macro runs https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crashes-and-restarts-every-time-a-macro-runs/?ID=018d9a1e-a778-72f3-846b-dd0f7b328980#7 Tue, 05 Mar 2024 21:02:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crashes-and-restarts-every-time-a-macro-runs/?ID=018d9a1e-a778-72f3-846b-dd0f7b328980#7 ClipboardFusion Hi!

So, there have been some Windows updates, including a major update to Windows 11 23H2, and Start11 is still running. Today I have been able to successfully run several macros without crashing! I've attached the settings, but have a good feeling the problem has been circumvented.

Thanks,
-Ken ]]> RE: Windows Explorer crashes and restarts every time a macro runs https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crashes-and-restarts-every-time-a-macro-runs/?ID=018d9a1e-a778-72f3-846b-dd0f7b328980#6 Tue, 05 Mar 2024 15:59:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crashes-and-restarts-every-time-a-macro-runs/?ID=018d9a1e-a778-72f3-846b-dd0f7b328980#6 ClipboardFusion Could you send me over a backup of your settings?

It definitely appears to be a problem with Windows 11. ]]> RE: Windows Explorer crashes and restarts every time a macro runs https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crashes-and-restarts-every-time-a-macro-runs/?ID=018d9a1e-a778-72f3-846b-dd0f7b328980#4 Mon, 26 Feb 2024 16:37:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crashes-and-restarts-every-time-a-macro-runs/?ID=018d9a1e-a778-72f3-846b-dd0f7b328980#4 ClipboardFusion Thanks for sending that over, we haven't had anyone else report this unfortunately. It looks like you have Start11 installed as well, if you trying running without that, does the issue persist? ]]> RE: Windows Explorer crashes and restarts every time a macro runs https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crashes-and-restarts-every-time-a-macro-runs/?ID=018d9a1e-a778-72f3-846b-dd0f7b328980#3 Fri, 23 Feb 2024 18:03:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crashes-and-restarts-every-time-a-macro-runs/?ID=018d9a1e-a778-72f3-846b-dd0f7b328980#3 ClipboardFusion Sure! Here you go. I don't believe this is being caused by ClipboardFusion, but I'm struggling to find out what is happening.

Thanks!

Every single time a macro runs, whether triggered manually or automatically, Windows explorer crashes (Task bar and icons all disappear and come back), even the built-in "Scrub ext, Show Notification if Text Changes...". It does seem to complete whatever the macro is doing,but explorer.exe restarts again.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? I'm on the latest available version of CF. ]]>
