Title: Activate Windows?????
Post by: hvdh on October 18, 2017, 06:42:33 pm
Peter,

After I "upgraded" from Win10 10586 to Win10 14393, I've noticed one small change that I did not expect:

The "Activate Windows" message is (sometimes) still visible during Unattended Play.

It's probably nothing to worry about, and I know I can get rid of it myself by killing Explorer in the Task Manager, but still.

Are you aware of this change in behaviour between 10586 and 14393?

Is it possible that this change is caused by my starting to use Imdisk?

Henk

Hi Henk.

All normal.

Attended, I reckon.

Yep, that message sits down in the bottom right of my screen as well during unattended playback.

Well, I can't reason out how that would work.
All I know is, Henk, that I heard you talk about starting Explorer etc. which makes me scratch my head.
And of course if you bring up the GUI (still playing in Unattended mode).

I'd say there isn't even an opportunity for Windows to show that, when in Unattended (there's no canvas for it).
Maybe when you don't use the Wallpaper Coverart ?

Hi Peter,

I'm afraid this is a Babylonian speak distraction, to say it in dutch:)

I may have mentioned starting explorer in unattended, which isn't very difficult to do, in unattended.

But it has nothing to do with me noticing the "activate windows" message in unattended.

Neither is a problem, it just surprised me to see the "activate windows" message, and I was wondering if you had noticed the same....

By the way: If you want an explorer window in unattended:
- open task manager before you play any music (CTRL-Shift-Esc)
- Start the music
- In Task Manager: File -> Run New Task -> explorer
explore away, It's that simple:)

Gr,

Henk

Edit:

I just realised why peter mentioned me killling Explorer to get rid of this "activate windows" message in unattended.

I never do this. I only kill explorer from the task manager (in MINos) to get rid of this message AFTER I am done with listening to music.

I use Jriver to view movies on the same PC, and the "activate windows" message is a bit annoying when I watch a movie, that's all:)

I know. And it is a "stupid" thing to do, because you start many services and things which should not run and which won't be killed again unless you stop and restart playback ...

Then activate your OS. :swoon:
Which will upgrade it as well. :swoon::swoon:
