Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, do you have Start11 install in the system?

Thanks

Thats only for start menu skinning though.

What build of WindowBlinds are you using?

You don't need Start 11 for taskbar skinning.  Windowblinds will do it, HOWEVER, I too recently have this issue where Windowblinds 11 is no longer skinning the full taskbar, just the start button.

That is an insider build of Windows and not supported by Stardock. Microsoft continues to do frequent changes to insider builds and especially to the taskbar and start menu areas, so any issues you encounter are expected.

(edit: oh i see, that post wasnt about MY windows version )

The answer was not for you, but the user Uriyel in reply #6, hence the quote in my answer.

Hello kurtberlingen,

Please post a screenshot of your Taskbar and Windows Explorer.

Thank you,

I hadn't realized I still had Insider builds enabled.  That aspect aside, I just installed a trial of Start 11 and it corrected the taskbar painting issue being experienced with Windowblinds.  Just wanted to pass that along for the record if you are seeing the issue testing internal builds, etc...
