I am currently testing AWM. I like it, I like the support, I am confident, and I was about buying AWM as soon as my trial period ends.
I am an elctronic musician and do mainly audio related tasks with a multiple laptop based multimonitor setup.
I use for example "Maschine" from Native Instruments. This Software has a "Preferences" dialog, with mutliple tabs. One tab is for VST plugins. it has a button "rescan", with which the Maschine software starts a process to scan the configured folders for VST plugins. I wanted to rescan all of my plugins, so I hit "restart" and Maschine crashed immediately.
I spend hours and hours searching the cause. I never had any stability issues with Maschine, or, the issues were "user driven" and I usually am able to sort it out quite fast.
I found out, that Maschine crashed, when AWM is running, and it does NOT crash, wenn AWM is stopped.
Now I am worried. How can a "Windows Tool" cause crashes???
I mean, I am a programmer, and I know hpw  BUT: AWM integrates in each and every application, in each and every window, and it is supposed to be "forgotten", as you get used to working with it. So, if anything is behaving wrong, I usually don't think about stopping/starting AWM. And so I spend hours yesterday, searching the possible cause for the crash.
So, my question is:
Is there a way to exclude EVERY APP and EVERY WINDOW from being manipulated in any way by AWM, and only include dedicated apps, ONE BY ONE...
This would be essential for a purchase, because I don't want to have apps crashing, which usually don't crash, just because it's app window title got an "alyways on top" button by AWM, for example, without me thinking about this might lead an app to crash...

Could you clarify what versions of Actual Window Manager and mentioned "Maschine" do you use?
What OS are you running (version, x32 or x64)?
Best regards.

Hello TabSel,
Thanks for the response.
Could you check whether the problem still persists with the 6.7.2 version of Actual Window Manager or not?
Best regards.
