Support and Feedback / Re: OneDrive cloud icon not shown in Windows 11 (same MC version works in Win10)

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on October 04, 2025, 01:02:12 »

MC do not read overlay icons it self. It ask Windows about the overlay icon. So it should return the same as explorer. Just makesure you reboot window after modifying the registry for the overlay icons.
However it can also be 32bit / 64bit issue.. make sure you modify both locations

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\

Support and Feedback / OneDrive cloud icon not shown in Windows 11 (same MC version works in Win10)

« Last post by danga on October 03, 2025, 20:55:02 »

Subject: OneDrive cloud icon not shown in Windows 11 (same MC version works in Win10)

Multi Commander Version: 15.5.0.3102
OS Affected: Windows 11 (working fine on Windows 10)

Description:
I'm using Multi Commander 15.5.0.3102 on both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
In Windows 10, the OneDrive folder appears with the correct cloud icon (showing sync status).
However, in Windows 11, the same version of MC shows OneDrive only as a normal folder.

Technical details:

The OneDrive folder has the same path and ReparsePoint attribute in both systems

ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers registry entries are identical and prioritized

The cloud icon is correctly displayed in Windows File Explorer

This seems to be a limitation in how MC reads shell overlay or sync status in Windows 11.

Would it be possible to update MC to support OneDrive's cloud icon in Windows 11, or to integrate with the newer Windows 11 shell/cloud APIs?

Thank you for your continued work!

Support and Feedback / Re: Issue with Veracrypt volumes on external drives

After saving my config, using "Cleanup User Data", I wiped out the settings, restarted MC and ran the tests again.

Everything works as it should. This leads me to believe that a setting in my MC config may have been the cause of this issue. ofc there's no way to know for sure what precisely that was all about.

Support and Feedback / Environment variable in autostart.ini

Hi I'm new here,

is it possible to set the path in the autostart.ini using an environment variable (%env%)?

Thanks

I can't replicate that.
External VC devices show up for me. If I enable override and uncheck removable HD.. than it goes away. and it should. But else it is shown.

Don't know why it different for your system.

Yeah, weird - I know. But I've seen more elusive bugs than this. lol

As you can see from the images, I have all the sub-items enabled, with only the top-level option checked or unchecked depending on the test.

Is it only if you connect it while MC is running ? If you restart MC after VC drives is connected does it show up ?

It doesn't matter whether it's running or not. From the test, I exit MC with each test.

I will test with a clean MC profile that has all default settings for Core & Explorer to see if that makes a difference. I just have to figure out how to wipe out the current config and start clean.

But you got it working so no issue anymore.

It's a workaround - not a fix. To be sure, I just ran another test, which I hope you will run on your end.

1. In MC. ENABLE "Override default settings" in device filtering (see image 1-4). Apply, Save, Exit, Restart MC
2. Plug in external VC drive (HDD or SSD). Login using VC credentials

The VC drive WILL NOT appear in the UI, though can still be accessed via the Explorer input box

3. Unplug external VC drive
4. In MC. DISABLE "Override default settings" in device filtering (see image 1-4). Apply, Save, Exit, Restart MC
5. Plug in external VC drive (HDD or SSD). Login using VC credentials

The VC drive WILL appear in the UI, and can also be accessed via the Explorer input box

In the attached images 5-7:

- D & E are VC partitions on an internal drive - which appear as normal, regardless of the above settings
- K is an VC partition on an external drive - which is subject to this issue as per above
- F (normal exFAT partition) & J (VC partition) on the same external drive - only the mounted VC partition (J) is subject to this issue as per above

My conclusion is that there is likely a MC bug that's affecting VC partitions hosted on external drives - but only if "Override default settings" in device filtering is enabled.

The Removebale HD option will enable/disable for USB connected devices.

But you got it working so no issue anymore.

Yes But if you expand them. there are individual options under each section.. on what devices should be shown for each UI place to show devices..
Some of the option for the place where you did not see the device was probably not checked.

Yup - I am aware. That's why it's the first place that I checked when I was trying to reproduce this issue. I have all of them checked - except "Floppy" (which appears to be unchecked by default)

I don't think VC version matter.. MC does not see it as a VC device. it just see a removable harddrive. it does not know if it is VC or not. all that is handled in kernel level in Windows
