How safe is WindowBlinds for my Windows 11?

from Stardock Forums

I know WindowBlinds since first versions. I remember in early versions it was modifying System Files. I'm not sure if the latest version for Windows 11, are still updating system files, or customization methods have changed. I really like to use it, but I cannot sacrifice my OS stability.

Is it really safe to install? Can I completely uninstall/disable it without harming my original System Files?

 

Thanks for advice.

I haven't had any system issues but it messes with Windows 11 dark mode since dialog and window appearance will be changed by WB.

Windowblinds does not alter or replace any system files in any edition of Windows.

Instabillity occurs when the user is deploying non-Stardock GUI altering software (with the exception of Winstep Extreme and Nexus Extreme) together with Stardock software. Instability also occurs when the user deploys dev/insider builds of W11, as Stardock cannot possibly alter its software for so many/frequent builds.
