Support and Feedback / Re: Multi Commander startup time is about 70 seconds
« Last post by Mathias (Author) on Yesterday at 13:30:58 »Normally the timeout is not 40s.. not sure why it is that long for you. MC has no control over it.

Support and Feedback / Re: Multi Commander startup time is about 70 seconds
« Last post by Barney63 on Yesterday at 12:19:14 »Other applications display the drives, and the timeout (typically 5 seconds for network drives, not 40 seconds) only occurs when the drive is selected. No Windows application I am aware of takes 40 seconds simply because there are disconnected network drives.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Faster detection of offline network drives when starting Multi Commander.
« Last post by Mathias (Author) on Yesterday at 09:01:40 »Not possible since MC is not handled the network for remote devices it self. it is handled by Windows. and Sometimes windows does not know if the device is available or not, and it takes time for it to check,, It is possible to tweak Windows so it will timeout a lot faster

Support and Feedback / Background Colors Stop Working
« Last post by Kevin Parr on August 10, 2026, 19:49:01 »I am using MultiCommander version 16.1 build 3200, regular (not portable) version, running under Windows 11 Home version 10.0.26200.
I set background colours for the active and inactive explorer panels (Configuration / Explorer Panel Settings / Colors (tab) / Background / Active panel & Inactive panel) so that there are alternative colour stripes behind the file names.
After a while - a bit random and I haven't timed it specifically - the background colours stop working and the background of the panel is all white. If I close MultiCommander and restart it, the background colours are used again. If I open a new tab, including from a tab where the background colours stopped working, the new tab uses the background colours.
I had the same problem with previous builds of version 16.1. I don't recall it happening with the 15.x versions but (with apologies) I can't say that with 100% confidence.
My computer has 32GB of RAM. Process Explorer shows that about 26GB is in use.
