I have seen that before, but only with some blinds. I solved it by changing the margins for those buttons Skinstudio. Do you have the issue with all blinds? If not, what wb are you using?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. It best to informed us some more details on your system.

1. Windows full version numbers. Use Winver.exe to get those. Also Windows 10 or 11?
2. Windowblinds full version numbers.
3. Do the issue happened on skins that come with Windowblinds such as Diamond or Corporate? If not, please list few that the issue do happen, specially those that available to download in Wincustomize.com.

Thanks

Hello,

I tried with Diamond and Corporate, but, I can not reproduce your issue on my Windows 11 system. Here is my system details.

1. Windows 11 23H2 (OS Build 22631.2861)
2. WB 11.02
3. Start11 v2.04

Below a short video I made for what I get on my system. Please let me know if I need to do something to make the issue appear.

Thanks.

Maybe some other 3rd party application conflicting the thing.

Thank you,

Hello again,

When you upgrade your system to Windows 11, did you do a fresh install of Windows 11, or you do Windows 11 install over Windows 10?

Thank you,

Please try cleanboot and see if you can find out which software is conflicting with WB. https://forums.stardock.com/486023/windowblinds-support-faq#cleanboot

Notice the highlighting of MPC-BE x64, it will remain that way until I mouse over another icon/button. Win8 is the current style.

I'm interested in whether this issue ever gets resolved or gets submitted to the developers as a bug report. Thanks!

This was happening years ago on Windows 10 (separate computer & install of Windows) as well so I'm not sure what it could be & I'm tired of getting nowhere with the people I paid to get the software.

I never said I wasn't interested in trying it, just that it takes some time for the issue to present itself & I can't run a clean account for that amount of time. I suspect the issue could be Open-Shell as it's the only software I can think of that would be common between the 2 systems. I've just been so used to it since the Windows 11 taskbar/start menu suck beyond comparison & your start menu software doesn't have enough to offer to be good enough to purchase so I'll just not use WindowBlinds for the time being.

Here we are in August, hasn't happened once since I stopped the WindowBlinds service.

The only piece of software I'm running that would be the same between the different systems would be Open-Shell (Classic-Shell), I could see that being a possibility. The problem there, if Stardock refuses to do anything to try & fix the issue, is that I will not switch to Start11 or other related start menu alternatives as Start11 honestly sucks & the others seem to have issues of their own in other ways.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Thank you for reporting this, do you have any steps to make sure the issue appear on your system. I tried but it don't show up in my Windows 10 and Windows 11 system. I noticed most Windowblinds skinner also using 3rd party application to change their setup to have old Windows 7 layout, do you have any of those application running in the back ground? Or application that edit how Windows File explorer work/look?

Thank you.
