Hello, Christian.

Have repeated the test to reproduce the reported problem on Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, 64-bit, Aero Theme in use, glass effect off, running Total Commander 8.0ß17a 64-bit.

Result:
Nope, cannot reproduce the problem.
So there must be an additional pre-requisite, which has not been mentioned in this thread so far and which is not fulfilled on my machine.

Hi, I could reproduce it using these steps:
  1. Extract TC8.0x64 beta 17a from installer (don't bother installing it)
  2. In its directory create a wincmd.ini (use your own resolution):

    Code: Select all

    [Configuration]
    UseIniInProgramDir=7
    StartupScreen=0
    DirTabOptions=1
    FirstTime=0
    [1920x1080 (8x16)]
    maximized=1
    
  3. Create a shortcut to TOTALCMD64.EXE and set it to run minimized.
  4. Run that shortcut, close nag screen and restore TC from taskbar
I just retested it on Win7 x64 - it doesn't matter if I use Aero or Classic theme, the result is the same.
Windows 7 Pro x64, Windows 10 Pro x64

Hi, umbra.

Thanks a ton for your support. :) - Yet, this is the approach we I used, too (manually extracting from the installer package). And the settings which you quoted - again thanks for bothering to do so - were all present in my wincmd.ini as well. Nonetheless, my Windows 7 Home Premium refuses to reproduce the faulty behaviour. :shock:

There is a difference, your maximized=1 entry is in the resolution specific section [1920x1080 (8x16)] . But here T.C. uses the [AllResolutions] section instead. (ResolutionSpecific=0 in [Configuration]) This might make the difference. ... Might, but does not do so here with respect to the reported display problem.

Cheers,

Did you follow this step too?
Create a shortcut to TOTALCMD64.EXE and set it to run minimized.
This is causing the problem (running TC both minimized and restore to maximized).

Yes, I did.
This is causing the problem (running TC both minimized and restore to maximized).
Followed this procedure, too:
Launch T.C. using the link. T.C. starts up minimized. (StartupScreen=0, i.e. no splash screen, a prerquisite, too.)
Click on the taskbar icon thus causing T.C. to return to the maximized window size (fullscreen). But the display bug refuses to show.
