Hello. I am running Win 11 24H2 and Open Shell, to make the Win task bar and menus look like Like Win 7. Does anyone know how to get the Activity Indicator icon to show in the tray area, of the far right hand corner of the task bar, next to the sound and network icons? I tried the "Stay On Top", to no effect. I then tried "Show Extra Indicator", which put an icon on the lower right of the desktop, which is not really where I want it. I installed the Indicator, to have in the tray ares. so I could...

When installing Windows updates, this app starts to consume 100% of CPU and is leaking memory like crazy. The same can be observed when creating/deleting/renaming/touching tens of thousands of files. Please fix.

It would be very nice if the program could be enrolled in various package managers like WinGet, Chocolatey, Scoop, etc. Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your handy Activity Indicator program. It is very helpful on my laptop. I've made a small donation. Is there a way that the extra indicator could be shown over the Windows lock screen and screen saver when the PC boots up? I like to wait for the disk activity to mostly stop before I logon to Windows. I may pursue the Wifi HDD LED but it seems like it would be an awful lot of overhead. Thanks!

About the possibility to show the activity of more then on drive/partion. As explained above, two instances needs to settings whta is not possible at the moment. For me it would be enough to get all partitions of a/all disks with one instance displayed. So that the "LED" flashes when something happens on any paration. TIA

Found that possibility after messing with autostart which led to start two instances. Unfortunately settings are saved in registry thus I'd need to change drives after every boot which is not satisfactory. Is there maybe a solution for having multiple instances with own settings, as option's path in registry HKLM\...\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\Activity Indicator\Settings1 suggest there could be also Settings2, 3, and so on

Conflict with Activiy Indicator driver and NumLock on keyboard. When Activity indicator is started it takes over the number keypad on the keyboard. Numlock led on keyboard flashes on and off with drive activity and number keypresses don't work on keypad. The number keys across the top of the alpha keys still work OK. This happens when using a Logitech G910 keyboard or a Razer Black Widow Elite keyboard. ***Default when installed uses the NumLock key as a visual indicator. It can be disabled in the...

It seem to interfer with the screensaver (Specifically turning off the monitor) as well. Don't know if this is pertinent to previous versions as well. Also noticing some flickering while using streaming video in fullscreen mode. Seem to be the same type of player as YouTube, or at least it looked the same with the "Press esc to exit"-message.

Hmm, just realized something. The drive selection doesn't quite work in the program as I'm using drive mappings. I get no "reading" from either disks unless I open these in explorer or something is using it. Isn't there any other way of accessing the drives, like through WMI or something?

Do you mean to have seperate indication for reading activity only? I'm not sure that the current structure of detection supports that... but it is indeed a good idea. I will dig to the source code to see if it is possible.
