And finally it's out.
SyMenu is entering into the future with the newest MS programming framework.
I'm pretty sure we will experience a lot of issues with this 8 version but, guys, it was time... A new era has started!
In the next few days I'll update the manual and the other materials. Please be patient with these.

Wow! New update! Thanks Gian... I didn't even know it was in the works. 
No issues so far my end. Just a standard HD TV.
Except... I can't close the About window.
Thanks for your continued work on this amazing app!

Hi sl23,
the About windows should close clicking outside of it. Otherwise it's a bug.

Yeah, the only way to close it is click the version number which also takes you to the home page.

If you have an issue like that, try pressing the ESC key on the keyboard.

A quick update on my end.
I recently changed my GPU from AMD 5500 to an Nvidia 4060.
I was hoping that the previous issues encountered in the Beta - with many UI elements improperly scaling - were tied to AMD's instruction set.
But alas, that is not the case. The issue persists with Nvidia as well.
As for why the program displays properly in Win11 virtual machine's VMware SVGA driver, I cannot say.
Unknown if there is an issue with HP machines specifically.

It's probably because the graphical issues are on the Windows side.
Rendering a form is not a complex thing... It's a 2D draw.
What's difficult is calculating the distances among elements when you have more space available for them and they need to be resized.
But MS asserts the new framework is able to do the magic by itself allowing a smart resize.
And instead we experienced that the only working resize mode in zoomed screens above 150% is the virtual resizing and not the real resizing.
So WTF are you doing MS?

Interesting enough the machine where I experienced the issue was a virtual one running on VirtualBox with VBOXSVGA driver.... I should try to execute it with the other available drivers but, I wonder, what's the point in that. MS is not paying me to catch their bugs, rather it causes me to lose a lot of time for this issue.

Well, my tests are on a HP PC too but, at this point, I'm pretty sure the problem is on the software layer.

MS has burned many devs over the years. Windows Mobile. Silverlight. WinRT. And many more.
Just read MS is joining Google. They're getting their own "graveyard" website.
Unaware if updating the NET release breaks any dependencies, but I get your point.
Benefit-cost ratio: Suppose it's better to wait and see if it gets patched.
Despite the graphical glitches, no issues with functionality.

The program does not open in the line command if you specify the path to the exe file
Example:
I:\Programs\SyMenu\SyMenu.exe
I use a bat file at the root of USB:
@echo off
set syMenuPath=Programs\SyMenu
set syMenuExe=%syMenuPath%\SyMenu.exe
start %~dp0%syMenuExe%
UPD
FIX:
@echo off
set syMenuPath=Programs\SyMenu
set syMenuExe=SyMenu.exe
cd %~dp0%syMenuPath%
start %syMenuExe%

Yes, I was replying you that the first script lacks the working directory definition.
You solved it changing the current dir.
Good for you but please next time open a new thread in the right forum topic (Troubleshooting & Bug Reports).
