Known bug? If a config's meters/measures are updated simultanously with its deactivation, causes crash?
Can't replicate it easily, but it seems that if a bang to Update a single or multiple measures/meters at the exact same time as the command is executed to deactivate that config, it can cause Rainmeter to hang.
Is there a solution for this?

A work-around I use is to simply add a short !Delay bang in front of the !Deactivate. Seems to prevent the crash.Cariboudjan wrote: ↑August 18th, 2022, 8:07 pm Known bug? If a config's meters/measures are updated simultanously with its deactivation, causes crash?

This might have the same or related root cause as my currently very hard to reproduce unloaded / loaded / missing skin state bug... in that case, delays, while slightly alleviating the problem, didn't make it dissapear. Fortunately, it's rare and has a solution that doesn't involve restarting Rainmeter. Not in this case, but in other situations I also encountered crashes that were not really crashes when it came to Rainmeter, where a click or right click somewhere makes things "reset to normal", so you might as well explore such options, if nothing else works.
