HideOS running despite hide desktop disabled

Recommended Posts

Permission to shoot me as I'm probably missing something really obvious. I have "Hide Desktop" set to No in Display settings, yet HIdeOS is still running on game launch. Searched through settings, can't find any others to trigger HideOS. I'm sure I've asked this before, but can't find the thread. 

Any ideas? Papers attached.

In some events where I have had a game abend unexpectedly,  I was unable to gain control, as if all focus was lost and a black screen was displayed.  The only option was to shutdown. The log.txt file does not show anything useful.

On mine, both Hide Desktop set to No and Show Desktop set to Yes for specific Emu. However, GE still seems to run HideOS between GameLaunch and Emu start. A process/focus map:

ignore "Focus Spy" - that's the process logging the active window/process. 

My worry about deleting the HideOS file is that it'd be re-installed on update. Wonder if any way to have global setting "disable HideOS" or whether this'd be a ball ache? Could easily knock together a script to check for and delete the exe on GE startup, I suppose. 

Bet it feels like "small beer" in comparison to getting Evo ready + out!
