It's been almost 10 weeks; have there been any discoveries? Since my initial post, all versions from 14251 all the way now to 14316 are incompatible. I miss some great features from WindowsFX, but I took the trade-off to be a Windows Insider in the fast lane, submitting bug reports to microsoft and to creators of incompatible software.

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="11" id="3624092"] Disabling WindowFX would resolve the issue for now. Be aware that you are using a BETA version of Windows 10. You chose to opt into getting potentially buggy builds from Microsoft and accepted the risk that not all software would be compatible with it. If you were using the released versions of Windows 10 you should not be having this issue. I do apologise for the delay in releasing an update but unf

If you are savvy enough like I was; You can open an elevated command prompt, navigate to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\WindowFX", run 'WindowFXConfig.exe' and turn off WindowFX. Then you will be able to start explorer.exe and have your desktop reappear.

The recent new insider build of Windows 10 (build 14251) has some pretty intense updates . There are also some known issues, but this is not one of them. After updating to build 14251, if WindowFX is installed and enabled on the system explorer.exe will not be able to run and the user will be duped to their desktop with nothing but a black screen and a cursor. <p

This is the same thing I'm experiencing, but I also have issues with strange transparency with the Win8 theme. It's hard to describe, but it's obvious something is wrong. I should have clarified in my first post: I have tried: Restarting Changing themes Unloading/loading Uninstalling and re-installing all questionable programs Deleting all Windowsblinds files and re-installing

I've been toying around with Windowsblinds 8 for a couple hours now trying to figure out why some of the transparency isn't working properly and google chrome's title bar disappears. I've done a fair amount of research online trying to solve these issues but to no avail. What I'm looking for is a way to remove all custom settings and changes to the default themes. Like a factory reset of sorts.
