stretchly: Do not disturb is enabled and cannot be disabled

Hi, this build was most likely win7>win10 upgrade.

I have, however found a possible workaround from: https://community.getstation.com/t/station-cannot-detect-turned-off-do-not-disturb-mode-on-windows-focus-assist-is-always-on/3445/12

The problem Station most certainly uses ‘windows-quiet-hours’ module to check if the user is using or not quiet hours. Module Here 8 This module is not checking the correct registry key in windows. Thus never knowing if it’s on or off.

Partial Solution Go to Registry Editor and put the value that it erroneously checks to 1: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Notifications\Settings Put NOC_GLOBAL_SETTING_TOASTS_ENABLED to 1

exit and restart stretchly.

New release is up, you can now disable DND monitoring on 3th page of Settings.

Good job Jan! Seems to work. cheers

Hi! I’m running stretchly version 0.18.0 on Windows 10 home edition 1803, and I have the same exact problem as this. The stretchly program is stuck in “Do Not Disturb” mode and clicking on the setting in the tray menu does nothing.

There is now “Do Not Disturb” setting on my computer, just a windows settings function called “Focus Assist.” I have the setting turn “off” in the windows settings and in the Action Center icon on the task bar. It’s still won’t work.

I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app, i’ve restarted my laptop several times, I’ve checked the settings config, and nothing is working.

I didn’t even get to try the app out, because it was like this automatically the first time I downloaded it and installed it.

I dunno if this helps, but i’m also on an Acer Aspire E5-575 Signature Edition laptop, and already came with Windows 10 Pre-installed. I didn’t upgrade from an older version of windows.

Very disappointed so far. 😦

By the way, Jan should not have needed to program this functionality into his app. The “Focus Assist” feature in Windows 10 allows you to add exception rules for apps that you do want to allow to send notifications even with “Do Not Disturb” mode enabled / active.

But this feature [as usual Microsoft] is half-assed and does not work for this case because for some reason you only have a choice of a few apps to allow to interrupt Do Not Disturb mode - i.e. you don’t have a full list of the apps on your computer to choose from, and programs are not available at all either.

cheers

thanks! I guess I’ll have to re-install the OS to use it in the meantime. Or switch to Linux 😉

I guess that is the issue then. I have tried on Windows 7 image and it worked fine for me.

I will add option to disable taking DnD into consideration, hopefully before Feb I will make a release.
