I've been using windowblinds on this Win10 PC for some time, and I love it. But today my pc booted and windowblinds is not working. The windowblinds service appears to be there and running, but the windowblinds app disappears in 1-2 secs after startup. Visually it looks ok. I tried loading several different skin packages but nothing happens.

How do I debug this and get things running again? I can't stand the stock Win10 look and feel! HELP!

In case this will help:

Computer Management->System Tools->Event Viewer->Windows Logs->Application

I see the following messages:

Error .NET Runtime

Problem overcome, it was caused by anti-malware protection. I paused it and it works just fine.

Very odd that I got no warning from AV, just did not work.

Thanks! Sorry for the useless post..
