Shutting down "hints" dialog

Post by *CWBillow »

Is there a way to shut off the dialog that pops up when TC starts saying things like "Press G to..."?

I know that eventually a option to shut it off shows up in the box, but it isn't predictable nor immediate. Can this be accomplished in the INI file?

That is easy:
Copy your valid license file (wincmd.key) into the TC directory.
With the very next start, there will be no nag screen anymore.

It's a known bug of windows 10.
Only way to prevent this is to disable the tips inside windows game bar or rename the totalcmd64.exe to something else:

Run this in PowerShell to get rid of it:

Code: Select all

gci "HKCU:\System\GameConfigStore\Children" | %{if ($_.GetValue("GameDVR_GameGUID") -eq "f9afb654-ed57-42b1-976e-41aff834d1e6"){sp -path $_.PSPath -Name "Flags" -Value 0}}

That might be it.

Thanks,
