Have to apply skin every reboot.

from Stardock Forums

Been using WB successfully for awhile now, but in the last week I have encountered a problem. As the title says each time I reboot the machine my skin disappears, I have to reapply it manually. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling WB but it makes no difference. WB is also set to start automatically I don't know what has happened any ideas?

A specific skin or all skins?

I'm using precision, didn't think to try other skins. Checking others now.

 

Okay so it appears to be skin specific Precision and 7 Plus must be reapplied but Win 8 Metro and Flash live system don't. Maybe some skins have become corrupt?

 

After further investigation it is only skins that I have changed the transparency settings that need to be reapplied. The plot thickens....

Thanks for the effort Dave.

 

With WB loaded I can't access the Personalise/Window Colour/Enable transparency setting, when I unload WB I can access it. I have run SFC /scanow and it still doesn't make a difference. Something has gone badly wrong, the weird thing is I haven't modified the system at all.

Try uninstalling Windowblinds, run a registry cleaner kike CCleaner, then reinstall Windowblinds and see if the problem resolves.

This issue on my machine was caused by a conflict with Avira free anti virus and WB, or a recent update to Sandboxie still investigating.
