I am pleased to say we have finally located the root cause of the issue with VS 2017/2015 on later versions of the OS and a fix will be included in the next WB update. 

I am sorry it took so long, but unfortunately it was not a simple issue to resolve as it had nothing to do with VS2017 at all (other than an OS bug feeding it bad data) which means we had to track down where the breaking behaviour happened with a great deal of trial and error.  The breakthrough was when we found MS Paint triggered it at will thus saving us a huge amount of time in the testing.

As those having the issue are technical, the root issue turned out to be the GetSystemMetricsForDpi call is able to break the current session until OS metrics change.  In rare circumstances WB passed in a value of 1 for dpi rather than 96/ other valid dpi.  This seems to return valid values, but causes the OS to go completely mad and return bad data for VS2017 (a process launched later on without WB even doing anything inside it) which gets it in a muddle for fonts.

I am unsure why a get call in one process should impact anything else and that's a question for Microsoft as we plan to file it as a bug as that should never happen.

So in short, make an app that just does this (obviously WB didn't have a 1 there, it was a variable) :

GetSystemMetricsForDpi(SM_CYCAPTION, 1);

and after then no copy of VS 2017/2015 will load up in your user session until you reapply system metrics or sign out and in again.

Nice. Thank you.

Thanks. 

Thank you!

I admit that I wrote rough comments before, but I did it because I think that sometimes the end-user have to show insistence and dissatisfaction for a company to take seriously fixing a software flaw. I'm very grateful for the results from Stardock side.

When can we have the new version? Thanks.

Glad I found this thread, Was just starting a "Repair" of Visual Studio thinking something went wonky in the install (just installed WindowBlinds last night after renewing my subscription) 

Hello,

I believe the new 10.73 beta that was just released should have settled the VS problem listed in July 2018. May we know your WB versions please.

Thank you,

Will try again on my Desktop (Above posted data), on my Laptop right now, so version data is a bit different.
But just tried the Beta and got this error in my Event Viewer.

It works for me at the moment. No crashing.

Ok, might be my laptop, desktop is running fine now.
