Vetical Taskbar and Windows 10

from Stardock Forums

Yes, I know Windows 10 is not supported. But I wanted to report this very interesting side effect of installing Windowblinds on Win 10. I use a vertical taskbar to the left side of my dual monitor configuration. After installing Windowblinds and rebooting that taskbar slowly began to increase in width until it filled the entire left side monitor, before stopping. Locking or unlocking the taskbar had no effect. There was nothing I could do bu uninstall, or make it horizontal.

 

I also run True Launch Bar, which is WIn10 compatible, but the combination might have something to do with the issue.

Yes I have this exact same problem -- I uninstalled WB but the problem is now locked into windows 10. I am now forced to run a horizontal taskbar. The problem occurs when you upgrade to win 10 and WB is running on Win 8 when you do the upgrade.

 

Stardock -- tell us how to fix this problem.

I would think Uninstalling Windowblinds and or any customization thing prior to WinX upgrade is smart thing to do, being the UI has some drastic changes etc in it.. Infact im surprised Stardock hasn't mentioned that on their site, instead of being besieged with numerous Why this and that.. They know some of their software isn't WinX ready.. (Gee its only been beta for a year).. :D

I actually did a clean install of Windows 10. Then installed WB8 to test. But as soon as I uninstalled it the vertical taskbar issue went away.
