I'm using it too, I don't know if it still doing anything useful, but originally it was to keep focus when I was using external players.

Has anyone tested whether this works for Windows 11?

Hi
Since the last Windows update I get the following error message:
Warning: This variable has not been assigned a value.
Specifically: OSVersion (a global variable)
Line#
116: if (OSVersion > = 6.2)
For more details, read the documentation for #Warn.
Windows 10 22H2, unfortunately a reinstallation does not bring success.

I had this problem a while back. There were also some other strange issues with my set up. I discovered that an upgrade had corrupted my windows set up, probably due to my power supply being interrupted during the upgrade.
Anyway, I followed the instructions at "https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/reinstall-windows-d8369486-3e33-7d9c-dccc-859e2b022fc7#bkmk_reinstall_windows_10_using_installation_media&WindowsVersion=Windows_10" and took the option to Reinstall Windows 10 using installation media and "Keep Everything".
This solved the problem for me.

Thanks for your answer.
I tried to restore it, unfortunately the problem came even after the restore. So now I have reinstalled Windows completely.

Hello,
i have a problem with Launcher4Kodi on Windows 11. After the Windows Update May 2024 (was also a problem on the preview update for may released in april) Kodi will not start after sleep anymore. On reboot its all ok.
Hope its just a windows bug, not a change in Windows 11. Is there an alternative to start Kodi after resume from sleep?
Regards,
Andreas
Edit:
i found a solution, to open Kodi after sleep without Launcher4Kodi:
I used this tutorial / info:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answer...mes-out-of
Here is my config for the Task Scheduler (save as xml and import, change Path to Kodi, i use the portable version, otherwise remove the param -p. Starts 3 seconds after resume "PT3S")

Hello all,
I'm still using Launcher4Kodi to start Kodi as shell (I like my Media Center PC to not start explorer at all). Here's a problem I'm facing. When using Kodi as shell (windows explorer does not run), although Edge is running from Kodi normally, Netflix YouTube and store apps pop out a message "class not registered" (the apps are running through a program launcher in Kodi).
When I disable the Kodi shell (and Windows explorer starts before Kodi startup) the apps work normally with no error.
I tried clean installations of Win10 and Win11 (in VMs) and I get the same result (so it's not something that is missing or corrupted on Windows)
I also tried it on a Win11 VM at work and for some reason, this is the only machine that Netflix is working with Kodi shell enabled! I checked updates, installations and services, but I can't find why in two similar Win11 machines I get different results.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: I found a solution and why in one Windows 11 machine it works fine and in the others it doesn't.
I figured out that the working one has a different Netflix shortcut (from which kodi launches Netflix). It isn't the default MS store app shortcut created after it's installation. It is an "Edge" shortcut that runs the app.
You can create one by opening the MS store Netflix app and going to "app settings" -> "create shortcut".
This one does open Netflix in Kodi with Kodi shell enabled.
It works with other MS store apps also. YouTube for example.
