I'd love to know how you got it installed, I can't install

MY system or Stardocks thinks Windows Blinds 10 is installed but I can't see it when I open desktop manager

Any ideas.

 

I've installed it 5 times now I just keep getting the message"WindowBlinds does not appear to be installed correctly on your machin, would you like to try to fix this now" I press,  yes it thinks for 30 secs  and does nothing.

This usually means some sort of helpful AV app has broken something.

Assuming you did a clean install (remove previous WB if any, reboot and then install)

wow.. i've been at it for days. Fixed.

 

I tried a lot of things... each change, I tried again.

There was no uninstall even though error said I needed to uninstall first. I uninstalled panda antivirus.. no help. disabled windows defender... no joy. I deleted everything in my registry that referred to window blinds... seems stuff was inserted even though it wouldn't install. still wouldnt work.

I looked into my program files(x386) and saw a window blinds folder... deleted that. tried again.

it worked

i hope this helps someone.
