#211 Help: Capture2Text icon disappears when I hover over it with the mouse

[Ron Gärtner]

As soon as I open the Capture2Text exe, the icon appears in the corner, but as soon as I move the mouse over it, the icon is no longer displayed. It's not hidden either. So I can't open the settings and bind a key other than Win+Q. So I can't use Capture2Text because of the windows device manager. I was also quick enough to click the icon when it was there, but it had no effect. (both right and left click). Furthermore, when I open the Capture2Text_CLI-Exe, it closes again immediately.

Note: I have Windows 11 and a 64bit-system. I downloaded the latest version from the website. The folder of the unzipped Capture2Text version is excluded from scanning by my antivirus program. The problem is still there after my restart.

My short video attached shows my problem

Hi,
Here Win10.

• Got the same problem with last versions: starting the application, it disappears soon without being able to use it. . I continued to work with [Version 4.5.1 (11-04-2017)]
• With new version I tried: Capture2Text.exe --help.
  • Capture2Text.exe -d: debug modus doesn't give anything, nor a log or so...
  • Capture2Text.exe --portable: using this setting it works for me!

Hope this helps you.

@developer: thanks for this application !!!

I have the exact same problem, but I still don't get it, I downloaded the 4.5.1 Version but it didn't work, and what do you mean with "Capture2Text.exe --portable: using this setting it works for me!"?

Please be more clear.
