I love this program! Just a heads up, though I don't know how many people are using them but, on the most current "Windows Insider Preview" Version: 2004 OS build: 19603.1000 Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.8400.0.0 that I installed on 04/10/2020, StartIsBack++ 2.9 no longer works.

Before the update was installed I did the usual thing of setting windows back to default theme and unpatching with UltraUXThemePatcher as to avoid any problems and then installed the update and applied the patches and what not afterwards I got an error with SIB++ saying that it doesn't work with this version of windows. So I completely uninstalled SIB++ and then reinstalled it and still got the same error message.

If you or anybody else is also on the same build as me and knows of a workaround please let me know. If not I don't mind waiting patiently until it's updated. I hate being on the "Insider Preview" thing as much as I like being on it lol.

I think this revision of SIB has more to do with the handling of 20H1, the tweaks made on the final release that is in the fast ring right now, when I installed it I got a message from SIB saying it did not work with that version. If I was a betting man, it probably works with that version now.

Hello

You know what is the new file "appsfolder.dat" which is created in AppData\Local\StartIsBack\Cache (with 2.9.1) ?
already asked the developer, but he never wants to answer

Thanks
