Explorer keeps crashing at start rebooting after applying skin

from Stardock Forums

Windows 11 Enterprise 24H2 (26100.ge_release.240331-1435)
WindowBlinds 11.07 (024 x64 - Windows 11 Edition) - 64 bit OS

I downloaded the latest version through steam (both the opt-in beta and normal in seperate tries)
I apply a skin, it can be any skin, and it works fine until i reboot the computer. When I start the computer explorer keeps crashing, I need to locate WB11 folder, open the application and remove the skin/set default skin back for it to start working again.
I really want to keep using this software, but it is causing this problem and it's too troublesome

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Few questions.

  1. Any reason you are not updating to latest Windows 11 Enterprise? From what I know the latest Windows 11 Enterprise is at:  Windows 11 version 24H2 (Enterprise edition) is OS Build 26100.9550, released on September 22, 2026. 
  2. Do you have antivirus such as ESET, that have HIPS turn on? If you do, please refer to this guide: https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1326579735/WindowBlinds+states+that+“WindowBlinds+is+not+installed+correctly+on+this+PC".
