We had a major storm through here recently and we suffered damage to the house roof and ceilings. I just received the quote to repair. I’m hoping that a small fraction of the 80,000 odd people that download SDIO and/or Desktop Info every month won’t mind chipping in a few dollars to help out.

I noticed today with 3.16 that I now have to have the height variable set now to 40 or the command boxes are too short now.  Had to also change the width variable I'm using as the recent update has changed scale a bit. No biggie, easy fix.

I have several items that should only show up when true but I can see one is visible but with an empty set (reboot needed) the other is windows patching and that one seems to be ok as I cannot see it.

I also have one that queries your account for password expiry and shows blank now.  in 3.10 it all worked fine.

Here are the items that call external ps1 files as they relat to the above.
# check for password expiration date
CMD=file:powershell.exe,parameters:-executionpolicy remotesigned -noprofile -file .\get-UserPasswordExpiration.ps1 ,color:%Green%,text:Password Expires,no-wait:2,hide-no-result:1

# Pending Reboot
CMD=interval:3600,font-size:120%,color:%Red%,font-face:Tahoma,text:Reboot Pending,trim:1,file:powershell.exe,parameters:-executionpolicy remotesigned -noprofile -file .\pending-reboot.ps1,no-wait:2,hide-no-result:1

# Windows Updates (seems to be the only one working correctly)
CMD=interval:3600,font-size:120%,color:%Red%,font-face:Tahoma,text:Updates Pending,trim:1,file:powershell.exe,parameters:-executionpolicy remotesigned -noprofile -file .\windows-updates.ps1,no-wait:2,hide-no-result:1

As I am coming from 3.10 I see reference to a new setting called display-change. 

I am doing some "HEAVY LIFTING" via the BEGIN-ONLOAD section, will display-change help me eliminate that?  Or will it help my BEGIN-ONLOAD section behave/scale better with lid closures and undocking/docking of laptops, etc?

I am also having the same issue with items disappearing from the top section of the desktop info that was present in 3.10 but now impacted by 3.16  I've attached my ini file.
