I have downloaded from that link and I get as far as 9.lnk and the install crashes.

I see the broken "Games" link has still not been fixed.

This has been around now since version 1.5

Pretty poor effort for a paid-for utilty

FYI... I'm getting this BattlEye error while running Atlas game after updating to Start10 v1.7:

 

21:51:19: Starting BattlEye Service...

21:51:22: Launching game...

21:51:25: Note: File blocks can be ignored if they don't cause problems with the game.

Is it causing issues with the game?  It says you can ignore that message if it is not causing problems.

Later versions of win10 removed the special games folder in the OS.  It is nothing to do with any start10 update.

Complaints on that would have to go to Microsoft, we just show the folder contents but it would have to exist first.

Neil, if Microsoft listened to customer complaints, there would be no reason for Start10 to exist.

Why not just admit defeat and remove the annoying broken link. It's not rocket science.

Microsoft do listen on occasion, though in this case it is unlikely.

The link isn't enabled by default and remains in case you run Start10 on an older Windows 10 release.  There are still some older versions being supported by Microsoft, not everyone is forced to update every 6 months.  Long term it will go away in Start10 too.

Solution :

1: I used Bloatware Uninstaller for uninstalling Start10, also the registry leftovers where removed.

2: No restart, but Shutdown the computer

3: starting up the computer, than i take a look after start10 in Configuration screen under Apps, no tracks of Start10 anymore, so the program was good removed.

4: Running the install of 'Start10 1.70.exe' under my downloadmap from Stardock.

5: Start10 1.7 installs correctly in Windows 10 Pro 1903 with build number 18362.53

6: I opened Start10 to configure my Start10 Layout and Settings, they working correctly.

7: I restarded my computer and Start10 works fine

8: Object Desktop Manager doens't show up the 1.61 version installed it's now 1.7 version that showed up. ther is no more a conflict between the 2 versions in Object Desktop Manager anymore.

 

Hopefully this information may help other members.

Kind Regards,

Mike

Hi Neil,

Atlas game is functioning normally, but I was concerned that Start10 might have been disabled.

When I Alt-Tab from Atlas, Start10 does appear to be working fine.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with Issues on the New Release. I miss not having it working at All.
