What version of Windows 10 are you using and are you using Classic Shell?

Also did you uninstall any current version, REBOOT and then install the new version?

Your problem is probably classic shell I am afraid assuming the skin you are using has support for the taskbar. Excluding it will make no difference, it is impacting explorer and hooking into things still.

I would recommend Start10 as an alternative which will work perfectly with WindowBlinds.

This update broke all white text in the Ice theme for me.

It's also happening to a couple other included themes.

Are you going from skin to skin or are you going from windows default to a skin?

What version of Windows? ({Windows key}+r -> winver -> [OK])

Window Blinds worked great until this morning when it said there was a new update. I have tried to get it working for hours and there is a support request in. I was told it was because my Object Desktop subscription had expired. That is true. It expired last December but I purchased Window Blinds separately after that in January. After hours of trying today and going back and forth with support, I decided to buy it a second time and get a new activation code. It still will not allow me to activate the latest version. It says there is nothing in my cart. Any ideas on how to fix it will be greatly appreciated.

Issues with Firefox 56 x64. The top bar where the tabs are goes transparent all the time. With all the default themes I have tried. It works well if I disable hardware acceleration.

I cannot upgrade to the newest version of Window Blinds 10 because I cannot uninstall the previous version to do so, nor can I uninstall the program AT ALL. I receive an error message as follows:

"Invalid uninstall control file:C:\Program files (x86)\Stardock\WindowBlinds\Uninstall\Uninstall.xml"

Please explain how I can fix this problem so I can properly upgrade to the newest version. Thanks.

Edit: ignore my Remote Desktop theory, VS just crashed after completely clean reboot. Unloading WB helps.

After Fall Creators Update, Visual Studio 2013/2015 crashes sometimes with WindowBlinds enabled. Unloading window blinds allows VS to start. I have VS excluded from Window Blinds skinning, does not help. I am not sure, but it might start to happen if I ever use Remote Desktop in a session. I did reinstall WindowBlinds, did not help.
