That was funny. Last nite, nothing happened at all. I did try the procedure over but it didn't work. No message at all. That is why I left you the post I did. I was puzzled. I expected something to happen.

Here's what happened this morning.

At first, I unlocked the device and the Qanda message popped up. The device WAS on the home screen, so nothing changed.

Next, I opened File Explorer and let the device time out and lock.
I unlocked the device. It remained on the File Explorer, but the Qanda message appeared. I checked OK, but it did not go to the Home screen.

I tried locking and unlocking the device leaving it on the Home screen. The message stopped appearing no matter what I did. If I unlock it now, no message.

As a last test, I ran the Unlock to Home procedure again, leaving the File Explorer open. I received both messages as before: 5 second, and Try again. It timed out and locked. I unlocked the device and it remained on the File Explorer, and no Qanda message.

NOW, I did a soft reset. The message started to appear again. After one or two tries, the message stops.

It seemed to be trying, but the diagnostic script seemed to fail after a few tries.

I guess things are not so smooth.

I'll be flying today but will be back on forum later this afternoon. This issue is really getting to me. Very strange.

And let's not talk about hard reset. Too much trouble. hahahaha

It really was funny! Anyway, when I unlocked a few times today, sometimes the message came up and other times it did not.
Long day but I'll check back later tonight.

well i made another cab just install it , if it asks to uninstall the other cab , choose yes . i noticed there is a "home" icon in the start menu , however there is no Home.lnk in any file explorer i used , i wish i could make it just launch the icon when it unlocks . but i dont know where or even what that icon is exactly .

Ok. I'll give it a try shortly. What's supposed to happen this time? lol
As for the Home icon, I may be able to help you with that one. I'm pretty good at tracking down links, paths and such.
Be back on in an hour or so.
Really appreciate your efforts. =D>

Well, you did something. After installing, I noticed the backlight would dim but never turned off. Gee whiz!
A soft reset was the only option I had at the moment. It seemed to restore normal function.

The Qanda message comes up more frequently, but not every time I unlock. If I continue to unlock, the message stops appearing AND the backlight goes out immediately. It never dims first (30 second set), and does not wait the (1) minute to which I have it set to power down.

Could the script disrupte the normal device timeouts for the screen including backlight?

IMPORTANT QUESTION: Does your diagnostic script permanently change any registry settings? In case things go wrong, will uninstalling the script put things back to where they were? The device is starting to become unstable, so I need a way to restore it to normal operation quickly. We can always analyze what happened later, but the phone is my only source of contact with clients on the road.

PS: I tried to help with the Home icon but your right. It shows nowwhere. Could it be hard coded?
Would it be possible to find the Home icon used in the slider?

Oh well. Back to the drawing board.
