WindowFX - Wobbly Windows crashings

Could you try restart "explorer.exe" and see if it solve it.

Sure, but no luck.

The windows are still fully disappearing during dragging ...

I assume it all back to normal once you reboot?

Ya, it is enough to kill all WindowFX processes and start WindowFX service again...

But restarting that often is not a proper solution, imho.

Are there any logs in place? (haven't found anything useful)

I have forwarded your report to the Stardock support team for their review and recommendations. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We really do appreciate your feedback, thanks.

Any news?

My notebook is having a NVidia graphics accelerator, so also while dragging it should not flickering nor jumping...

Please try purge and reinstall step https://forums.stardock.com/485903/windowfx-support-faq#reinstalling

Thank you,

Sorry, no luck with this.

Still problems, that when laptop was closed and opened again it stops working and during moving every app window is disappearing during the drag. Approximately every 5-6 days I have to kill all WindowFX processes and start the service again ... which is annoying.

This is what's helping me out during the meanwhile...   

PS: This is to be placed in a batch file (CMD), not VB (CMD is not a selectable option in Code-Block) to run it quickly by double clicking.

Any news? Still having issues .... (nearly daily crashes)

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.

Will have a try on this...

Thank you for your reply.

SFC was having problems, which were fixed.
Since DISM restore health, it seems to be more stable...  

I will be posting again, if the problem reappears.

Great, Thanks for reporting back.

Thank you,

The issue is back again ... Wobbly Windows crashed, without message!

Dragging the windows makes the window disappear during the move ....

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

Did you try the above again since it was effective at finding the cause prior?

Is it really needed to be done every 2 or 3 days?

No, I thing he is asking to see something else is causing the corrupt system files, causing your Windowfx problem.

SFC was not founding any issues again ... Nothing to fix.

Can I assume that after a reboot, WinFX will work fine - it is only after you close the lid, reopen, that is where you see issues?

If that is true, closing the lid, while a perfectly reasonable thing to do, is not always an elegant stop / start for running processes (WinFX included).

That said, and as was asked prior, after you open the lid, and if it has issues after doing so, does a restart of the WinFX service (and perhaps WinExplore as well) work to resolve the issue?  I am not asking you to need to keep doing that, I just need to know if it works to resolve it when it happens.

I'm also thinking, that the closing the lid (entering and leaving power saving mode) possibly can be a reason.
It is not occurring all the time, but Windows could be having strange behaviors on changing run-time states.
But with other programs (like development software, office stuffs) running, I did not had any trouble with them, so.

Also with processing database scripts running, I was closing the lid and the system was entering the power saving mode - and still a properly running thread after reactivating Windows with opening the lid at home.

Was not trying so far, to debug the threads...

In a previous post I was adding a tiny piece of Windows batch code which is killing the required running executables (of WindowFX) and restarting the service as a small workaround to not have to reboot the machine and brings back the effect quickly.

Yes, you are right, I'm always leaving the machine up and running, because I'm in daily business need of my running desktop environment, which is definitely nicer with WindowFX.

Still again failures, that WindowFX stopped working .... (without error message)
Need to restart Executables daily again....
