Quoting VArterJr, reply 23

So far, so good. Really impressed with performance on Win 11 22H2. The only issues I've seen that is consistent with all skins (including the pre-packaged ones) is that the SysTray icons disappear sometimes (often). If you hover over each they come back. Just a very minor thing.


same issue here ... hope it gets fixed as it's quite annoying

Hopefully next version of Windows blinds will be able to handle HDR. That's the main reason right now I'm not using window blinds. But I do understand that if it's not high on the to-do list. I'll just be patient and wait.

Looks like he's referring to the same issue that VArterJr is having:

I have been having explorer crashes quite often on multiple rigs.  It seems to be connected to having multiple Stardock apps running.  These include WB11, Start11, WinFX, and CursorFX. Latest versions of each.

CursorFX failed to load at startup, WinFX animations would freeze and crash explorer. 

I uninstalled all that and the issue is gone.

Oddly, a few other apps like Razer Synapse and GSkill RGB ram app also failed to load at startup, but they are fine now, with all the Stardock apps gone.

 

I plan to install them back, one at a time, and see what happens.
