Windows 8 Store Apps get bugged after desktop change

Postby LesmoCasanova » 25.10.2013 21:46:34

Hi!

I'm enjoying Dexpot so far, but I'm having a problem while switching desktops and having Windows Store Apps (the Metro Apps) open. For example, I have Internet Explorer and then switch to another desktop the App hides... as expected. When I return to the desktop where I opened the App, I'm sent to the desktop, and I have to choose the App again from either the left side bar or the Start Menu. The App would launch all over again, as if I closed the App before.

This happens also when having various Apps open in more than one desktop. Can this be fixed? I've tried adding a new rule to prevent Dexpot from hiding the App (which would be to copy the Windows.UI.Core window class) but apparently doesn't work.

Thanks in advance!

Save the attached file to your Dexpot program folder and restart Dexpot.

I have the same issue. Mostly with the mail app, since I tend to open that a lot.

Downloaded the ini file. Hopefully that works.

Great it worked. I can now switch from any desktop into a Windows 8 screen (Metro app) and it works perfectly :D
