QB64 program icons dont open in Win11; drop onto the taskbar

Welcome ozzie

Thanks for reporting this. I haven't a clue what's going on but on QB64 side of things I'd try toying around with ./ or is it just / or is it just . or is it? add or subtract for locating the path to the icon file. QB64 always sucked for some reason at finding the icon file. Haven't a clue what Windows 11 might have done, just another reason I am not eager to update to another Windows level.

BTW make sure Run: Output EXE to Source Folder every time you update your QB64 version unless you purposely want the exe to go into your QB64 folder and clutter it up!

Thanks Ultraman, I already know I am not the best comprehender of reading other people.

OK so after these programs are compiled to exes, I would say it's a freak'n Windows problem ie the exe worked before the Windows 11 Update and stopped after updating. The only change was the update to Windows so the logical blame is windows Update. What say you Ultraman ?

I can only suggest an experiment, try recompiling the bas's in the Updated Windows 11 version causing trouble?

Now I am trying to remember: exe's still need asset files like sounds and images, to work so maybe they need icon files as well?
My experience is that Icon files are notoriously funky ie very tempermental about pathing to correct folder while working in Windows while other asset files remain solid and dependable using the bas source folder as default folder for asset.
