Checking notifications is disabled by default now for new users, but previous users will have it enabled, and it obviously requires and account

OK, I have to ask a silly question. I accidentally switched to BG mode 'on purpose' Edit: I was curious about something. Now need to know: How do I Switch OFF BG mode? It's stuck. Do I need to uninstall? v11.0.1

if i know right, it should be that option marked there. Your FS checker is in the notification bar, it might be hidden in the up arrow, the Show hidden icons.

It's in the system tray. Bottom right of taskbar. Windows hides new icons by default, so you need to click the little arrow to show all icons (then you can move the f95checker one to the main taskbar tray area so it's always visible). You can click it to open the gui, or right click to do some other things while in background mode

I have the icon dragged out.
Switch to BG changes to switch to GUI, and vice versa. but system tray icon always remains. how to get rid of it?

You don't, it's always been there (atleast for like the last 2 years or something). Put it into the overflow menu if you don't want to see it. But yeah always been there, even before you accidentally switched to background mode.

Not really an F95Checker question, more of a Windows question - but here goes (assuming Win11):
- Right click on the task bar and select 'Taskbar settings'
- Expand 'Other system tray icons'
- Find F95Checker.exe in the list and turn it off, it will now be in the hidden icons that only come up when expanded

No it hasn't. Trust me I'm fully aware of what icons appear on my computer. The first time it appeared is when I clicked switch
.I am familiar with this method of hiding the icon.
I guess this has never been addressed before, or nobody cared, but right now the icon comes up whenever the app is run. I guess I need to know where the BG Mode value is stored so I can delete the reference so it stops going into BG Mode.
Edit: I am thinking it won't do any good to uninstall / reinstall because of where the values are stored.

I kinda figured you could figure it out, lolz. I've been using it for years now and it has always had a system tray icon.
Are you looking to make it so it exits instead of moving to the background maybe?

I mean no disrespect, but the tray icon is always enabled regardless of what options you set. The app won't start without creating the tray icon. You just never noticed it, maybe windows had hidden it in the overflow menu by default so you never saw it until you looked for it? But no amount of uninstalling and reinstalling will make it go away, as it's always enabled and always been there, hidden in overflow menu or not.

Yes, I was looking to make it exit. But, according to Willy it never exits. Oh, well.

That's not at all what i said. I said the tray icon is always there when the tool is open (background mode or not). If you quit the tool, the tray icon goes away.
Whether clicking the X at top right of the window quits out of f95checker entirely (including removing the tray icon), or instead goes into background mode (closes the window but keeps the tray icon) is an option: the one WhiteVanDaycare showed you.
This option is intended for people who always want f95checker in background and don't want to click the "BG Mode: Switch" button, they can just close the windows and f95checker remains open in background mode.
This setting (and all other settings) has no impact on whether the tray icon is present while the window is open, it's always there, and that's what i thought you were saying wasn't the case.

Ok. What I'm saying is that I've never seen the icon in the system tray. From what you guys are saying the icon has always appeared in the system tray so I can admit I may have missed it or overlooked it. I now understand what you guys are saying.
Thanks for your persistence in helping me to understand, both you and WhiteVanDaycare.

There are a few known games that give this error, one being Law School. It was discussed a few pages ago

If a thread gives an error that it can't be found, then this is very likely the result of the thread having been temporarily set to private for reasons. Most likely reason downloads being examined for possible malware. If the cache happens to recheck that thread when it is in that state, it'll very likely stay in that state until the refresh period expires in the cache (even if the thread has become publicly visible in the meantime). Or until WillyJL gets the chance to manually force a refresh for the affected threads. As he stated, he's currently not in a position to do so...

For some reason I think since the latest version, the thread - 'https://f95zone.to/threads/panophobia-final-black-stain.30658/'
does not update, gives this:
I've been ignoring it, but figured I'd ask, since the game thread still exists, the error remains if I remove and re-add it.

Add it to archive, it will remove the error while letting you know is archived by having grey name, easy to unarchive it and recheck at a later date. As it was discussed a few pages behind on a few other games that give the same error, it might be Cache API issues and Willy will look into it when he can.
