Troubleshooting

  • App doesn’t come to foreground
  • Some windows may block programmatic activation; try clicking the slot again or ensure the target window isn’t minimized/hidden.

  • If you run AppSwitcher elevated and the target app is not (or vice versa), Windows focus rules can interfere.

  • Hotkeys not working

  • Another app may already use Ctrl+Alt+.

  • Only up to 9 hotkeys are registered. If you reduce visible slots, hotkeys above the new count are unregistered.

  • Drag‑and‑drop doesn’t assign

  • Ensure you’re dropping a .exe or .lnk. For .lnk, the target is resolved automatically.

  • Chrome favicon/URL not shown

  • Favicon retrieval is best‑effort (Google favicon API or /favicon.ico). Some sites block it or require internet access.

  • The URL is read via UI Automation when possible and may not work for all locales/versions.

  • Custom icon not updating

  • Reopen the menu or resize the window to force a refresh. Verify the image path is still valid.

  • Reset everything

  • Exit the app and delete %APPDATA%\AppSwitcher\config.json.
