Objectdock does work on Win10 but is not yet supported on that OS. I'm running Win10 with Objectdock installed and it works good.

ObjectDock has some known issues on Windows 10 such as blank running tasks showing.  This is why it is not supported on Windows 10.

For the most part, ObjectDock installs and works fine on Windows 10. As mentioned above, there are a few issues so that is why it's not officially supported.

As was mentioned in another thread objectdock is more or less a hit and miss on Win10. For some it works but not for everyone. I just got lucky I guess. I do have the issue with the running task with no icon on the dock but I know what program that is, Settings. For me its not a big deal.

Freezes and hanging on Windows 10! It works, but very bad. I disappointed, that such little app cannot be optimized well! Even Rocket Dock works better! Shame on you Stardock, I had better opinion about you..

ObjectDock is not supported on Windows 10.

We have been very clear about that.

Okay, how will you explain the same problem on other OS? Windows 7, Windows 8?

I understand that you say it's not supported on Windows 10, yet you keep sending me emails asking me to buy it to use on Windows 10 along with all your other products.  That's the part I don't understand.  Also why I usually don't pay attention to them much any more.

As for me, it usually works well, but will often hang when I close a window of any kind and force me to wait indiscriminate amounts of time before allowing me to use it again.  Had similar issues with Windows 8.1, but never this bad (which is funny, considering 8 is supported but 10 isn't).

Still using it, though, if that says anything.

Can you post a screenshot of the emails you get asking you to buy it to run it on Windows 10?

Hi guys!

An old thread....many ask about support for Windows 10 and the reply is it isn't supported....

Is there a plan to support this version of Windows as it is the latest and the last one from Microsoft...

I, like many others, have paid for objectdock and would like a straight answer to this question and not that it isn't supported...

Please forgive me if I am not aware of updated information regarding Windows 10

 

Thanks!

I think this is no indication of being obfuscated about condition of ObjectDock for Stardock: it's on hiatus. No Win10 supported yet. Crystal clear.

Hi again!

I for one would gladly pay for a new version of objectdock that is designed for Windows 10. I never assumed that once I bought the product it would mean for all versions of Windows....

For the most part the dock is working....

One thing that others may have noticed is the fact that even if you turn off the background apps in Windows 10 a white dot appears on the dock to signify an app is active...and when you click on it it then opens it to the "settings" window....once that is shut there is the "store" app to shut as well....

This happens after running windows for a while and when they are shut "xbox" app window opens....

Is anyone else experiencing such problems?

Right click on the dock and uncheck show running programs. Its a workaround of sorts.

Hi Uvah!

Thanks for that workaround....

One wonders if objectdock is too sensitive or that when these background apps are supposed to be turned off...they are in fact still on....never been a real fan for Windows 10 but have set up computer for my license for when Windows 7 is too old...

I am sure there will be advances in objectdock by then and I will be tweaking Windows 10 to get rid of all the spyware...doesn't leave much but I am like many others and think Microsoft have crossed the line with invasion of privacy with this version of Windows...

 

Thanks again!

P.S. Only one thing wrong with turning off running programs is that a space appears on the dock and if you click there Windows services opens, so these serivices are still affecting objectdock...

I looked at mine and 'show applications' is unchecked. Try that.

Hi guys!

What I have done that seems to have stopped the little rascals from starting is...

I have disabled Superfetch in services and then en the registry turned off superfetch and prefetch...

In the registry HKEY_LCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM >CurrentControlSet > Control > Session Manager > Memory Management > PrefetchParameters... On the right you have EnablePrefetcher and EnableSuperfetch... change both to 0 from 3 and that seems to do the trick...

Lets wait and see who chimes in. Registry editing is not my thing.

I am disgusted with the apparent lack of support and good customer service regarding your ObjectDock software.

One might assume by your actions that Stardock itself, is on the decline, so support of product is pointless.

What an awesome, winning business model.

I just built a Win 10 computer and planned to purchase WinFX, Start 10, and Object Dock. The lack of a fully supported Object Dock for Win 10 is a deal-breaker. Sorry.

The free version of ObjectDock runs better on Windows 10 than the one that I bought in March 2016. That one kept disappearing or reverting to the default with four icons.

Stardock sent an email today (16 July 2017) inviting purchase of ObjectDock. If you click on the "Get it now" button you are taken to an online order page that makes no mention whatsoever the ObjectDock is not supported in WIndows 10. This is very poor form shown by Stardock, because you would only diiscover this after you've paid for and attempted to run it on your WOndows 10 system
