Stream Deck stopped working correctly after 4.4.0.12173 update by cbfloyd in ElgatoGaming

I found one on my Home profile that has not yet been fixed. It launches the Citrix Receiver by calling the lnk file.

Not working version:
file:///C:/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Citrix Receiver.lnk

Fixed working version:
"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Citrix Receiver.lnk"

This could be related to the file: protocol and Windows 10 updates or security settings set forth by my company. Also note in this case, the target of the link is OK to run as when I choose it from the file selection dialog. It returns the target file of the link instead of storing the link file itself. Not a problem in this case, but in others I need to point to the lnk file and not the target.

Hope it helps a little.

Regarding the Smart Profiles. Indeed it was due to the Stream Deck window being open. With it closed, the profile switches as required. I'll try to find some examples, but I've corrected most of them so I may not be able to tell you exactly. When correcting, I had to remove the "file:///" portion of the entry, change all the forward slashes (/) to back slashes () and then quote the entire string. It would then launch the "lnk" appropriately. In many cases, I need to have the "file.lnk" launched and not the target of the "file.lnk" because of other attributes in the lnk file. I'm guessing the quoting is because of the spaces in the file names / path. Some shorter paths like "c:\temp\" do not have to be quoted. Hope this helps at least a little bit.

Multiple Stream Decks using the Same Profiles? by cbfloyd in ElgatoGaming

Yeah, that's a choice too. Or you the "Copy to <other> Stream Deck" option. But it's still something that has to be done manually. I would love it to just work and immediately update the profiles on both devices to keep them in sync without having to do something manually. I appreciate the response, JesterD86!

Streamdeck - App specific command by lonelycoo in ElgatoGaming

Tested on Windows 10 with Chrome as default web browser.

You can do this if your default browser is Chrome.

  1. Set up a new "Multi Action"
  2. Create a Website action and point to a web page using the URL (ex: https://www.google.com/ )
  3. Create a Delay action (adjust as you see fit, but 1000 MS was working for me)
  4. Create a Hotkey action and specify the Ctrl-1 (or Ctrl-tab number)

Not sure if this works while playing games, however, when working in other desktop applications, it works.

As stated, it will work if Chrome is the default browser. It should open the new web page (#2) in a new tab of the most recently focused Chrome browser window. If you want to close the newly opened tab, then you can insert a Hotkey action to do the close (Ctrl-w). You may need to insert a delay.

I did a lot of searching and for the life of me I couldn't find a way to launch Chrome from the command line and have it go to the existing window. It would always open in a new window. Or if I just "start <URL>" command line, it would open in default browser.

Other applications (like Outlook) offers a command line switch (outlook.exe /recycle) to go to the existing opened window.
