I just want to add my two cents to show that it was also possible to solve the problem using a Windows Command item. Add a new Windows Command item and fill the Command field with: start cmd /k "cd /d D:\Misc\Down" && exit Naturally, replace D:\Misc\Down with your own folder.
7 hours ago Topic: Win11 client machine takes long time to settle Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1358	Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1358 Topic: Win11 client machine takes long time to settle This is a really tough one… Above all because I haven’t clearly understood what your configuration is. For example, I still don’t know whether the SyMenu instance is running on the host machine or if it is launched on the Windows 11 client machines. If your setup is the last one, what happens if you launch SyMenu directly from the host? What exactly is the offline syncing doing? And why is this feature involved with the SyMenu files? At the moment, I don’t have a clear picture of what normally happens on your machines, so I can’t even imagine what the impact on SyMenu might be. Anyway, even if I had a clear idea, I still wouldn’t have a solution for you because the problem could be anywhere. So my suggestion for a possible resolution would be exactly the same as the one I’m giving you now. Download a clean version of SyMenu. If you download the ZIP version, remember to remove the lock that Windows adds to any package downloaded from the Internet. I explain how to do that here for a plugin package: https://www.ugmfree.it/manual#SyMenuPluginBlocked Unzip it into an empty folder on your host machine. Ideally, choose a folder without any security, authorization, or permission issues, so avoid locations like C:\Program Files or C:\Windows. The best option is always D:\SyMenu if you have a D: drive. Run the new SyMenu. Multiple versions of SyMenu can coexist on the same machine, even on the same disk. I assume everything will work fine: SyMenu should load in a few seconds and suggest installing some programs from the suite. Now, step by step, start adding the configurations needed to mimic your real installation. For example, add some programs, link network folders, or whatever your main installation normally does. After each change, run some tests: restart SyMenu and check for any strange behavior, try launching some programs, and so on. If the program starts to struggle, slow down, freeze, collapse, call home, or scream for help, you’ll know the reason, it will certainly be the last change you made. At that point, please come back here and we’ll try to solve the problem together.

First of all, do not choose "Add Windows Command" - that doesn't give you any option to set a working directory. Instead choose "Add a Program". Afterwards refer to the 2nd screenshot steps 1-4 below. edited by M4verick on 28/12/2025
1 days ago Topic: Win11 client machine takes long time to settle Shadohz Posts: 1	Shadohz Posts: 1 Topic: Win11 client machine takes long time to settle I have SyMenu running on a host machine with is networked to a couple of Win11 client machines. The client machines have offline syncing enabled (Win11 feature). The problem is that SyMenu is taking between 15-30 minutes to stop loading when Offline Syncing is disabled and 40minutes to +1hr when Offline Syncing is enabled. By "settle" I mean for SyMenu to stop scanning or whatever it is that it's doing that makes that its icon flicker. The times are from Reboot (i.e. startup) to when the Symenu program gives me access to installed SyMenu applications. The only thing I can say for sure is that Offline Files extends this abnormal behavior. I can't explain why there's a huge time difference in the startup-to-settle times. I read a couple of similar posts about applications being at the root of the SyMenu application folder but that isn't the case here. All the Symenu apps are under Z:\ProgramFiles\SPSSuite\SyMenuSuite. I installed custom apps to \..\SPSSuuite\Custom_Programs. Any explanation or resolution for this? Any way to stop this scan behavior on the client machines?

I wish to launch Windows Command shell into a specific directory. In another words, when I launch the command shell, I need the command prompt to already be at the following folder: "C:\folder 1\folder 2" I know how to configure SyMenu so that the command shell is launched but I'm at a loss on how to do this.

I think it's a great tool that can improve work efficiency. Furthermore, I don't want any abnormalities to occur in the tool during daily use, as this could lead to unforeseen consequences. At the same time, I sincerely hope that Symenu will become better and better. I am also an avid technology enthusiast, and I am extremely interested in software, systems, and network security. Thank your for your reply，Gianluca.

I really appreciate that. It's the way to achieve perfection. I confirm there is a bug, and I will fix it in the next SyMenu version. Meanwhile, you know there's a second executable in the same SyMenu root folder to launch the program with elevated privileges (it's called SyMenu.Admin.exe). I understand it's a different thing to start in a way and to switch to the other when needed, but it's only a workaround awaiting the final resolution. Again, thank you for your report.

For finding reson of this issue,I monitored actions of SyMenu when I clicked Elevate SyMenu function in Tools by using Process Monitor. Besides,when I was using Process Monitor, Elevate SyMenu function is perfectly normal.Conversely, it behaves abnormally. I don't know if others have encountered this issue.

I tested the links with Edge (Chromium) and they are working if you already are in the manual page and not working starting with an empty browser tab/window. Conversely they work in every case with Firefox. I never realized that. Crazy... Thank you I'll try to fix that ASAP.
19 days ago Topic: How to change floating icon and taskbar icon? viper Posts: 6	viper Posts: 6 Topic: How to change floating icon and taskbar icon? Yes These links are not working well, but they aren‘t dead links., they are just not accurately positioned. However, the keyword following the link reminded me to locate the correct section in the manual, such as "#Customization", "Advanced_menu_Options_Theme". So I successfully resolved the issue by searching in manual web page. About this issue,it works well to search "Customization for publishers" in the user manual.
19 days ago Topic: How to change floating icon and taskbar icon? Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1358	Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1358 Topic: How to change floating icon and taskbar icon? ?? What link? Maybe is there a dead link somewhere in the user manual? Are you talking about the links I suggest you before (https://www.ugmfree.it/manual#Customization https://www.ugmfree.it/manual#Advanced_menu_Options_Theme )? Aren't they working for you?
19 days ago Topic: How to change floating icon and taskbar icon? viper Posts: 6	viper Posts: 6 Topic: How to change floating icon and taskbar icon? Thank you so much,Gianluca. I even used Resource Hacker and Process Monitor to find the location of mainico. Besides, I suggest telling everyone the specific location directly, preferably pointing directly to the "Customization for publishers" section in the manual, because the provided link is not accurate and leaves people confused.

You can change the floating icon following the instructions available here https://www.ugmfree.it/manual#Customization Here instead you can learn how to change the system tray icon https://www.ugmfree.it/manual#Advanced_menu_Options_Theme Unfortunately you can't customize the taskbar icon.

However, every minor feature, fix, or modification is documented in the program changelog, available here: https://www.ugmfree.it/symenudownload#changelog

28/11/2025 Topic: [SPS Editor] Rename file after install Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1358	Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1358 Topic: [SPS Editor] Rename file after install The command: RemFile rustdesk- bla bla bla... works as these ones: ZipZapFile bla bla bla... ReadAloudFile bla bla bla... VaporizeFile bla bla bla... or any other one you can think. Indeed it's not working at all because the SPS scripting engine IGNORES anything it doesn't recognize. RemFile command is simply not recognized. It seems it's working because it apparently renames the file from rustdesk-1.4.3-x86_64.exe to rustdesk-x86_64.exe. Indeed the file is renamed directly during the download. RenFile as a command becomes necessary when you download a package that contains the file to rename, not the file itself. The thing I can't understand is why you got the error on the right command: RenFile rustdesk-*x86_64.exe rustdesk-x86_64.exe In theory the SPS scripting wouldn't throw an error if a renaming doesn't succeed. In fact I tried to add: RenFile Bubba.exe Bubba-x86_64.exe Bubba.exe doesn't exist but the process closed successfully because at the end it finds everything it needs and, who cares if Bubba.exe wasn't there? Maybe it was a remnant from a previous package version. So the interesting thing about this problem is: are you testing the SPS online or with a locally downloaded rustdesk file? In the second case, what is the exact name of the downloaded file?
