cannot close a window, WinClose doesnt work, please help Topic is solved

[morkovka18]

hello, AHK
i have the following issue

Im using app WindowManager

I try to launch it on startup, and then close it or minimize it to tray (because by default this app goes to the tray if windows gets closed, so no difference)

the problem is : I cant close it with the script
here is WindowSpy info
WindowManager
ahk_class #32770
ahk_exe WindowManager.exe
ahk_pid 6392

and this is my script

Code: Select all

winTitle = WindowManager ahk_exe WindowManager.exe
WinWait, %winTitle%
WinClose
return

it doesnt work, the window is still visible, and nothing happens.

I tried to replace ahk_exe with ahk_class , I tried to run without ahk_exe, I tried another combinations in the script, but even WinKill also not working.
whatever I try, no result.

can you please help ?

another problem is minor one, i created a script to run this app on startup , of course copied it into shell:startup

Code: Select all

run, "C:\CEO\software\system&service\WindowManager\WindowManager.exe"

and the funny thing here - it just doesnt start on starrtup
it becomes more funny, that if I create link to the script to run the app, and create a script to run this link on startup, it now opens on startup [/i]

Could be UAC-related: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v1/FAQ.htm#uac
WindowManager sounds like something which needs elevated rights to work.

Could be ...

you are right. I launched the script with admin preveledges, and it worked.
but my UAC is already disabled on system level manually, and also this is not a system software, this is a general 3rd party software ...
anyway, thank you very much for the suggestion !
