This is about programs that I have installed for a long time, like Windows Terminal. Every now and then, Listary doesn’t run them, but the Windows Start Menu does.
I then have to exit and restart Listary, after which it runs that program again.
Could this be that there is a change in the Start Menu shortcut that Listary doesn’t pick up? Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks. When you’re unable to open Windows Terminal or other long-installed programs, are you still able to open newly installed programs before exiting and restarting Listary?
It affects programs that I had already installed, mostly for a long time, but never all of them. It only affects one (that I notice), or maybe multiple but very few. When this happens, the other programs (and non-program targets like files and folders) open normally from the Listary launcher.
I can’t say for sure that this is valid for all cases, but the last few instances I remember were with programs I installed through the Windows Store (Slack, Windows Terminal). This is what triggered my suspicion that this could be related to auto-updates.
It’s possible because Listary caches the program list from the Windows Store to enable searching for programs installed through the Windows Store. When these programs auto-update, Listary might not sync the updates, which could cause them to fail to open. I’ve noted this issue and will keep an eye on it for future updates.
