focus problem since last update

Thu Mar 16, 2023 11:05 pm

Since the last MWP update I have been having a strange issue that I have decided needs fixing.

MWP starts with windows just fine. But when I go to open the interface for the first time after a boot, I have to close or minimize any open window or else MWP will not come to the forefront, or even show up on the taskbar. If I try to open it with open windows, then once I do close them, I can use MWP as normal, and it does show up in the taskbar. But when I have to restart windows, I have to go thru the whole thing all over again.

This is not a big deal, but does anyone have a possible fix for this?

I'm pretty sure that I haven't fully understood what is going on here, but since no one else is suggesting anything, here goes.

If you go to the Windows Startup folder, and show the Properties for the MailWasher shortcut, does setting the Run option to Minimised help?

You'll then have to click on the MailWasher icon in the taskbar, but they may be a whole lot less work than the current procedure. :)
