Hello, Did you try the purge steps, suggested on reply#1. Please note that uninstall and purge is two different things.

Please try this.

1. Reinstall Windowblinds.

2. Apply any theme that come along with Windowblinds such as "Diamond".

3. Apply Default theme by Microsoft (Disable Windowblinds)

4. See if the problem solved. If it solved you can uninstalled Windowblinds normally. And skip the rest of the step. If its not, please continue to steps 5 and 6.

5. Do the purge steps. https://forums.stardock.com/486023/windowblinds-support-faq#reinstalling Just do the purge part, do not reinstall.

6. Reboot/Restart you computer.

see if it problem still there.

And Report back.

Thank you,

Thank you, I've tried and followed all of your above-mentioned steps but that problem is still here. I am 100% sure it appeared after WB installation.

If you did the purge and it still happening. Then its no longer a Windowblinds problem. Purge will delete every trace of Windowblinds on your system.

Please try the following:

-For Win8/10 Users: Open the Start Screen, and type 'cmd'. Right-click on the search result and select 'Run as administrator' from below.

-Type: sfc /scannow

-Wait for the scan to complete (this can take several minutes)

If the SFC finds errors, but cannot fix them, please also run the following command in the same command prompt window:

dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

The above command should assist with replacing any damaged or problematic system files. Please note, however, since it may require restoring certain files, this process can take some time and you will need to be patient until it has completed.

Please let me know whether this resolves your problem or if you have any additional questions.

Thank you,

Please try the cleanboot steps : https://forums.stardock.com/486023/windowblinds-support-faq#cleanboot

Thank you,

After I login through another admin account, or "cleanboot setup" I can confirm that everything is normal. Above problem exist only for my default windows account. What does it mean?

Thank you.

It means that some other app (since they are shut down on the new profile if the clean boot was fully done) or setting (Windows or 3rd pary app) is likely causing the issue.

If you have any other apps that affect the rendering, or function of, Windows Explorer (what is shown in yoru image), I would suggest disabling them.

"If you have any other apps that affect the rendering", well, for sure I don't have. WindowBlinds is the only program I installed on my working computer after a very long time (excluded windows updates). So, I'm pretty sure it did something with my windows configuration and didn't revert it back after uninstall, but I have no idea what.
