sometimes porting profiles from older computers gets in the way. In such a case do a fresh install of xplorer2 and let it figure out DPI automatically
So I did another clean install of Win11 on my system, as I got my hands on some upgraded SSDs.
Lo, and behold, I had issues again - a couple of profiles refused to obey the High DPI System (Enhanced) setting.
I finally deleted the profile, and then created it again - and then something
REALLY stupid happened - the second pane, every folder, the column headers were not showing correctly.
- Deleted profile, built it again, and then my color coding was not enabled.
- Deleted profile, built it again, and then the column headers were broken. Again.
I think you're right - even though I exported these settings from the same exact version, 5.1.0.3, in December, they are not working well when importing them.
Thankfully, I can decipher most of the settings in the .reg file (assisted by an additional export in .ini form) but my gosh, this is gonna take forever. I have 3 personal profiles and 2 work profiles built with loads of customization in Advanced settings.
Sigh.
The multi-monitor manifest selection during installation did nothing to prevent this weirdness from happening. And I don't want to cleanly install Windows 11 again, so I'm just going to kill all instances of X² and then delete all of the reg keys and it should act as a new, clean install, right?
Or will uninstalling it actually clean the registry the way most programs don't?
FWIW:
Windows 11 21H2 v22000.469 (Installed 6 Feb 2022)
Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.469.0
Xplorer² v5.1.0.3 Ultimate
Pretty clean install, most drivers are from Microsoft, got my AMD drivers and RAID and GPU drivers installed, only customized 2 things in Win11 - permanently disabled the widgets and uninstalled the Teams chat app.
I'll do an export of my current config and keep it handy in case you want a looksie.
