WB10 taskbar bug

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

There is an issue with WB 10, at least where my computer is concerned. The Start button reverts back to the Windows 10 default. Also, part of the skin disappears over the notification area. At first it was just over the keyboard indicator, but now it seems to do so randomly with some of the icons.

I tried attaching a screenshot, but the forums would not let me, so here is a link -- http://sta.sh/01qs4t4p10q5

Changing skins does not solve it. The taskbar will either only change colors, or everything will look normal but will show the same issue a very short time later.

You are saying your start button reverts to the default OS one on Windows 7 after a period of time?

That happens too. But first it always stars out with the action center button, the lil section of the taskbar goes completely clear but if i mouse over the button it reappears until i move the mouse again. Then random sections go transparent , the clock is usually one of the next after the action center button and the only thing that fixes it is at least a log off and most of the time a reboot. Sometimes the window frames act up in a similar fashion and every once and awhile the whole shell will just crash blackening the screen momentarily. I just tested it on a win 8.1 install and it was going smooth but then the window frames started up and I just had to restore a win7 for the second time after a full whiteout past the logon screen. Ive tried WB on an old pc right after win10 came out and I figured it was just compatibility, but this is the exact same behavior and I got the whole ObjDskTp a few days ago and I'm at least glad Fences (which to me is the real rockstar) and windowfx are straight. I just don,t get it, It is a really good product that works great for many others but gives me hell lol

Today WindowBlinds offered an update, which I was hoping would be a fix for this. Hopes dashed after a few minutes when the bug reappeared. Will this ever get fixed?
