WindowsBlinds 11 Quits during install

November 26, 2025 11:10:09 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Tried to install it twice after deleting WindowBlinds 10 and rebooting.   The install starts but then quits at about 25 % install.   Any advice?

Please run winver and post your Windows version and build.

Sounds like something went wrong during download and/or installation, then repeated on your second try.

I recommend doing a Windowblinds purge: https://forums.stardock.com/486023/windowblinds-support-faq#reinstalling

Reboot after the purge.

Make sure you delete the copy you dl'd and tried installing in your prior attempts and re-download the latest version you have in your software available under your avatar in the top bar: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products.

Then reboot immediately (that's important).

Then please report results.

The same thing happens.   I just did all of the above 3 times.   Same results.  Is there a way to download a previous build?

 No. There is only WB 11.02.

Do you have any antivirus software on your system, or other customization software? 

I've pm'd the Community Support Assistant to continue with your problem as it's late where I'm located.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try purge and reinstall steps as mention here : [Link]. Just make sure to redownload the latest version from your account page. Reboot after the purge. Reinstall and reboot again after the installation. Retest and report back here.

Thank you,

Basj,
