I've used Workrave for many years on Vista, and recommended it to many. On my new Windows 10 system, I installed 1.10, and I'm completely flummoxed. I was able to set my preferences at the outset, but I've lost that access. The countdown preview box has displayed a few times, but vanished. I have a taskbar Workrave icon, but when I right-click it, the two choices offered are Unpin from taskbar or the Workrave sheep, which does nothing when clicked, right-clicked, or double-clicked except briefly flash a small blue circle. When we want to watch a movie, I can't Quit Workrave (no menu), so to turn off Workrave I have to End Task in Task Manager. I don't like the breaks starting without a countdown warning (I am editing), and I want my pop-up menu back. Heck, I can't even customize my settings any more! When I go into the system Settings/Apps, for Workrave my only choice is Uninstall; Modify is inactive. I uninstalled and reinstalled once already. I have it on my Startup menu; should I remove it, and manually start Workrave for each session? Help!
