I've been using quickmenu since my old mogul days and it does work after a soft-reset. If u previously installed the quickmenu cab uninstall it and to be on the safe side soft-reset. Now extract everything from the .zip file to the Program Files folder located on your device. Once extracted, using file explorer, navigate to the program files folder and click on the QuickMenu.exe(it should of opened on top left. to get to the settings page start Qm, then click on quickmenu, then options.
what i have checked off:
"Auto start when system start"
"Register win key of device"
"Right arrow to close program"
"ok key to close program"
"x-button of screen: short to close, long to minimise"
"long press win logo.Reboot(make soft-resetting much easier)"
"Show edit menu when..."
"Close ActiveSync when disconnect..."
