Go to Settings and change to use the More windows option. After the required PowerTools X restart, you can have two PowerTools X items on the task bar, neither of which brings up a window when clicked.


Using right click on one of the items and selecting jv16 PowerTools X does bring up a main window, but now there are THREE PowerTools X items on the task bar. The first two still do nothing when left clicked.


This is with Windows 7 and jv16 PowerTools X (4.0.0.1485).

  • Added via edit: similar behavior occurs with the Backup tool, and probably other PowerTools X functions.


    Workaround: don't use Settings-->More windows.

Good call! This problem is now confirmed and fixed. The fix will be included to the next released build, scheduled to go out later in this week. Thank you for reporting!
