Not working at all

from Stardock Forums

Forgive me if this is answered already but I can't find it. I just paid for a Object Desktop license specifically to try Windows Blinds 10. I downloaded the current version, followed the instructions, and when I select a theme the display goes blurry and the loading icon appears, for at least a minute. Then nothing happens. Not one change. Rebooted, ran it again, rebooted, same thing, uninstalled, rebooted, installed again, rebooted. All nothing.

I am sorry you are having issues. Is this happening with all the pre-installed themes?

The remainder of the themes do nothing, not even blur out the screen. Sorry should have said that.

Sorry to jump in here, can't figure out how to start a new post! I downloaded WB 10.62 with activation key, followed the SIMPLE instructions. Delete current version, reboot, then execute 10.62. WIN 10 insists that there is still an instance of WB running terminates the install and we're back at 'square one'. After hours, then days, now weeks? of investigation, troubleshooting, rebooting... downloading again, and again....task manager, safe mode, regedit, many antacids, ibuprofen....but I digress.

I'm confident that one of you kind community members can help out this frazzled software user.

Thanks so much,

@ Jonhisattva There is an ODNT Zapper from Stardock which might help.  One of the Mods would know best there.

As a note to all before removing WindowBlinds always reset the Theme to the Default Theme first and then reboot.  This will prevent WindowBlinds from loading at startup and prevent the partial removal issue that is happening here.

A big WOOF to the canine from the befuddled guru. The Zapper was a success in getting WB back on the leash!!

Thanks for the tip and taking the time to answer my cry out into Cyberspace...

I also thank Zuba. In fact, that would have been my next step. Thanks for your interest in my dilemma.

Many Thanks
