Wonder how to have a progress in your window task bar, here you go : #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Global Const $sCLSID_TaskbarList = "{56FDF344-FD6D-11D0-958A-006097C9A090}" Global Const $sIID_ITaskbarList3 = "{EA1AFB91-9E28-4B86-90E9-9E9F8A5EEFAF}" Global Const $tagITaskbarList3 = _ "HrInit hresult();" & _ "AddTab hresult(hwnd);" & _ "DeleteTab hresult(hwnd);" & _ "ActivateTab hresult(hwnd);" & _ "SetActiveAlt hresult(hwnd);" & _ "MarkFullscreenWindow hresult(hwnd;boolean);" & _ "SetProgressValue hresult(hwnd;uint64;uint64);" & _ "SetProgressState hresult(hwnd;int);" & _ "RegisterTab hresult(hwnd;hwnd);" & _ "UnregisterTab hresult(hwnd);" & _ "SetTabOrder hresult(hwnd;hwnd);" & _ "SetTabActive hresult(hwnd;hwnd;dword);" & _ "ThumbBarAddButtons hresult(hwnd;uint;ptr);" & _ "ThumbBarUpdateButtons hresult(hwnd;uint;ptr);" & _ "ThumbBarSetImageList hresult(hwnd;ptr);" & _ "SetOverlayIcon hresult(hwnd;ptr;wstr);" & _ "SetThumbnailTooltip hresult(hwnd;wstr);" & _ "SetThumbnailClip hresult(hwnd;ptr);" Example() Func Example() Local $hGUI = GUICreate("AutoIt v3", 400, 100) GUISetState() Local $oTaskBar = TB_Init() For $i = 1 To 100 TB_SetProgress($oTaskBar, $hGUI, $i, 100) Sleep(25) Next TB_Flash($oTaskBar, $hGUI, 4, 300) While True Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop EndSwitch WEnd EndFunc ;==>Example Func TB_Init() Local $oTB = ObjCreateInterface($sCLSID_TaskbarList, $sIID_ITaskbarList3, $tagITaskbarList3) $oTB.HrInit() Return $oTB EndFunc ;==>TB_Init Func TB_SetProgress(ByRef $oTB, $hWnd, $iCurrent, $iCompleted) $oTB.SetProgressValue($hWnd, $iCurrent, $iCompleted) EndFunc ;==>TB_SetProgress Func TB_Flash(ByRef $oTB, $hWnd, $iTimes, $iDelay) For $i = 1 To $iTimes $oTB.SetProgressState($hWnd, 0) Sleep($iDelay) $oTB.SetProgressValue($hWnd, 100, 100) Sleep($iDelay) Next $oTB.SetProgressState($hWnd, 0) EndFunc ;==>TB_Flash

Expanding on Nine's task bar adventures... The overlay icon and tooltip were the only other interesting task bar things to me, so I added those + examples #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WinAPIIcons.au3> ; For _WinAPI_DestroyIcon #include <WinAPIShellEx.au3> ; For _WinAPI_ShellExtractIcon Global Const $sCLSID_TaskbarList = "{56FDF344-FD6D-11D0-958A-006097C9A090}" Global Const $sIID_ITaskbarList3 = "{EA1AFB91-9E28-4B86-90E9-9E9F8A5EEFAF}" Global Const $tagITaskbarList3 = _ "HrInit hresult();" & _ "AddTab hresult(hwnd);" & _ "DeleteTab hresult(hwnd);" & _ "ActivateTab hresult(hwnd);" & _ "SetActiveAlt hresult(hwnd);" & _ "MarkFullscreenWindow hresult(hwnd;boolean);" & _ "SetProgressValue hresult(hwnd;uint64;uint64);" & _ "SetProgressState hresult(hwnd;int);" & _ "RegisterTab hresult(hwnd;hwnd);" & _ "UnregisterTab hresult(hwnd);" & _ "SetTabOrder hresult(hwnd;hwnd);" & _ "SetTabActive hresult(hwnd;hwnd;dword);" & _ "ThumbBarAddButtons hresult(hwnd;uint;ptr);" & _ "ThumbBarUpdateButtons hresult(hwnd;uint;ptr);" & _ "ThumbBarSetImageList hresult(hwnd;ptr);" & _ "SetOverlayIcon hresult(hwnd;ptr;wstr);" & _ "SetThumbnailTooltip hresult(hwnd;wstr);" & _ "SetThumbnailClip hresult(hwnd;ptr);" Example() Func Example() Local $hGUI = GUICreate("AutoIt v3", 400, 100) GUISetState() Local $oTaskBar = TB_Init() TB_ToolTip($oTaskBar, $hGUI, "Working...") ; Load an icon -- this is a blue refresh on Win11 Local $hIcon = _WinAPI_ShellExtractIcon(@SystemDir & "\shell32.dll", 238, 32, 32) TB_SetOverlayIcon($oTaskBar, $hGUI, $hIcon, "Blue refresh") For $i = 1 To 100 TB_SetProgress($oTaskBar, $hGUI, $i, 100) Sleep(25) Next ; Destroy the old icon _WinAPI_DestroyIcon($hIcon) Local $hSecondIcon = _WinAPI_ShellExtractIcon(@SystemDir & "\shell32.dll", 300, 32, 32) TB_SetOverlayIcon($oTaskBar, $hGUI, $hSecondIcon, "Green checkmark") TB_Flash($oTaskBar, $hGUI, 4, 300) TB_ToolTip($oTaskBar, $hGUI, "Waiting for you to close the window") While True Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop EndSwitch WEnd ; Clear the icon overlay TB_SetOverlayIcon($oTaskBar, $hGUI, Null) _WinAPI_DestroyIcon($hSecondIcon) EndFunc ;==>Example Func TB_Init() Local $oTB = ObjCreateInterface($sCLSID_TaskbarList, $sIID_ITaskbarList3, $tagITaskbarList3) $oTB.HrInit() Return $oTB EndFunc ;==>TB_Init Func TB_SetProgress(ByRef $oTB, $hWnd, $iCurrent, $iCompleted) $oTB.SetProgressValue($hWnd, $iCurrent, $iCompleted) EndFunc ;==>TB_SetProgress Func TB_Flash(ByRef $oTB, $hWnd, $iTimes, $iDelay) For $i = 1 To $iTimes $oTB.SetProgressState($hWnd, 0) Sleep($iDelay) $oTB.SetProgressValue($hWnd, 100, 100) Sleep($iDelay) Next $oTB.SetProgressState($hWnd, 0) EndFunc ;==>TB_Flash ; These are icons added to your taskbar icon, showing status usually.

Yes this is a common issue. It has to do with the way PCRE v1 works and backtracking. The official doc examplifies that silly (yet logical) behavior and shows ways to speed up failures. You can also run the pattern on RegExp aud use the dubugging feature to watch how both patterns work in practice. Use a shorter string. Sorry I don't have much time to look deeper.

I should have selected this as my Solution. This makes Windows 10 to behave like Windows 11 as far as GUI title and taskbar thumbnail tooltip go. I incorporated this in the latest version of my zPlayer. Hooray for your learning mind!

Win10 - Win11 I like the Win10 better.

looks like it's the right answer I added #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=Y to the script and now it works well. Problem solved, thanks!
