Did you uninstall, reboot, install or did you try to install over top?

Is Stardock working on a no-uninstall, reboot, re-install, reboot update ? :-)

Just download the update and run it.

15002 Insiders please read before you go bashing stardock as this is a windows issue:

 

just tested on 15002 to confirm this didnt fix the titlebars on settings store etc uwp apps from spazzing out.

doesnt really cause issues as far as i can see but it didnt change anything eitheir from the issues already there.

 

Also note:this version of windows has alot of issues not even related to stardock at all,its best to wait for a new insider update to come out and hope windows fixes their borked software

I have the same problems/bugs as before, sluggish opening of windows,

except that the save window position is fixed in this version. (Nice, thank you for that!)

Now Pale Moon x64 freeze when playing Farmville2 at Zynga/Facebook in fullscreen mode.

In fullscreen mode pale moon/flash player freeze up. Must terminate pale moon/flash.

When disable Windowblinds it all works fine as usual. So it's not about any partical skin.

As usual i uninstalled former WB version, rebooted and installed new beta.

 

I'm back at v 1.07 for the hundred time now or so since all versions after 1.07 have problems on my PC.

So your issue is with this browser?

Frankly, I cant say that I have ever heard of it...  Does it work with more established browsers like:

-IE / Edge
-Chrome
-Firefox

I'm on Insider 15014 and tried WB 10.5 again to see if the new Win10 was any better. Actually, WB played OK with third party software except Chrome which refused to launch. However there are still problems with window's own windows so Insiders don't bother yet and wait patiently for MS to sort it out. A pity as I've fallen in love with the Corporate skin on Win 10. Looks fabulous!

Our latest internal WB build should address issues with Chrome on the insider and the Modern app titlebars.  Hopefully it will be released this coming week, or the following week.

I can confirm this. I set Pale Moon to not be skinned, but it still had textures. So for the time being it's either WB or Pale Moon.

WB 10.5 (not beta)

Pale Moon 27.0.3 (latest)

Insider 150xx is nasty. I went back and switched to slow circle, too many problems, not only with SD products.

WindowFX 6.02 still doesnt't play nice with Hyper-V.

I uninstalled WB 10.5 and then installed WB 7.41.1.

Pale Moon and WB now live happily together. :)
