ReStart 1.5.1 improves first-run and reset layouts while preserving existing saved pins.

Changes

  • Select familiar installed apps by role using stable app identities and exact translated names. Avoid helpers, installers and unrelated substring matches, and deduplicate app identities and launch targets.
  • Fill sparse initial groups to at least six tiles with distinct offline bundled examples. Weather, feeds and other connections are not configured automatically. This applies only to first launch and an explicitly confirmed layout reset.
  • Add repeatable native platform checks for connected-monitor working areas, Windows/WPF DPI agreement and accessibility providers in eight languages and both themes, using fictional apps and a hidden host.
  • Update all eight READMEs, the website and developer/testing documentation with initial-layout behavior and measured platform coverage.

Updating

Exit ReStart from the tray, extract the complete ZIP and replace the previous application files. Keep the supporting folders beside ReStart.exe. Local settings and saved layouts remain separate from the installation; updating does not reset your pins.

Choose win-x64 for most Intel/AMD PCs or win-arm64 for Windows on ARM. SHA-256 sidecars are included for both ZIPs. No separate .NET installation is required.
