#12 App crashes on suspend/resume

[Dylan]

I'm running 3.1.1.0 on Windows 10 with two 4k monitors. I find the app consistently crashes at every suspend/resume, but still leaves its icon in the task tray until I mouse over the icon.

NB that I have a little bit of weirdness with windows resizing themselves during suspend/resume, so this may be caused by the system changing resolution.

Hi Dylan, apologies for not replying earlier. Yes, unfortunately VDGS has to restart itself if windows explorer restarts which it attempts to do but if you change the current window while that is happening it does sometimes hang. This seems to me on happen on major monitor changes to me (unplugging from my dock). Therefore I try to do this with the laptop lid open and wait until it has fully switched after undocking before closing or suspending it. Is yours perhaps something like this or is it a desktop?

I have had a play trying to improve it but not got far and resorted to adding an Autohotkey script to kill it and restart it

RunWait, TaskKill /F /IM VirtualDesktopGridSwitcher.exe
Run, C:\Users\simonl\Programs\VirtualDesktopGridSwitcher\VirtualDesktopGridSwitcher.exe
return

Ha, fair enough. My battle station is an older Z77-based desktop. The issue occurs both with the iGPU and with a Radeon RX590 graphics adapter. But as I say, there do seem to be major monitor changes happening at every resume, so I imagine it's a symptom of the same problem.
