fix(website): finding-soundswitch FAQ — reopening opens settings - #2221
Merged
Conversation
… open settings Remove the incorrect claim that reopening SoundSwitch from the Start menu won't bring the settings window back. In reality, launching a second instance detects the already-running instance and signals it to open settings — this is confirmed by the settings-open-at-startup FAQ. Add a "quick way" section promoting the reopen method as the easiest option, and enhance the tray icon section with more context about right-click, double-click, and hover actions.

Code Review
This pull request updates the FAQ documentation for finding SoundSwitch, clarifying that reopening the application from the Start menu or desktop shortcut will automatically open the settings window. It also expands on the tray icon's capabilities (right-click, double-click, and hover actions). A review comment suggests updating the double-click action description to accurately reflect that it can cycle through either playback or recording devices, depending on the configuration.
Important
The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.
