If your PC is NOT downloading the the new update (which is really a freaking whole new UPGRADE) you should stop before you download it yourself from any of the links and check your PC update history. What I learned with one of my PC's and have seen happen to a lot of other folks is that some PC's are missing updates that came out prior to this and that is why it is not installing automatically. I haven't come across any explanations yet, as to why or what has caused

I just checked the other PC and it had 1.11 installed. When I asked it to check for an update it said there wasn't one. So I uninstalled 1.11 Then reinstalled and was asked if I wanted the update that was avilable (?) I clicked yes and it downloaded the update BUT proceeded to reinstall 1.11 even though it told me it was downloading the update. So I uninstalled 1.11 again and reinstalled what was downloaded into my folder, which had no number

Tried to duplicate your screenshot and saw the issue. When I uninstalled it the first time, it told me there was a newer version when I reinstalled, and I clicked the box to install the newer version but it didn't install. I uninstalled it again and did the reinstall again and it tol

[quote who="ZubaZ" reply="10" id="3645406"] In the meantime, what DOES happen if you make a custom shadow that has super big shadows? [/quote] The same thing happens if I use installed shadows or customshadows. I had it installed in the pre-anniversary OS and updated like you did. I then uninstalled it and reinstalled it (ShadowFX) to see if that would clear it up and no go.

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="29" id="3645267"] At this time, I cannot run WindowBlinds on the latest version of Windows 10. [/quote] Now I'm kinda glad I haven't updated my OD Sub yet, besides having to rob the kids piggy bank to do it. I posted a thread because ShadowFX went a bit wonky with the update. Is any one having any issues with Iconpackager? (fingers-crossed)

[quote who="DaveRI" reply="25" id="3645246"] Might try booting into safe mode and seeing if the installation completes. This guy thought it was done and apparently wasn't (short thread): [/quote] I could see that happening. It's an entirely different process than the automatic update if you download the update from the link and then install it. I did it manually on the other PC. I had to because it was missing a bunch of updates that it needed to

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="14" id="3645214"] May have to do a "reset". Depends on some repair files...but, if it's a 'reset'...there'll be a whole lotta downloading and updating...but no data loss.

I got it automatically on one PC and had to do it manually for the other. Both took some time but came out just fine. This is more than just an update. It's virtually the same as the original upgrade (when it finished my Windows update was clear, showing no updates and I had a NEW OLD Windows file that was 20GB in size) , so backing things up before doing it is a must.

I thought 'critics' were supposed to have thick skins and all that. I can't believe this guy even posts his name and pic...heaven forbid, someone might recognize him and jump him from behind at a urinal somewhere and do things to him with the metallic swivel lid from the trash can or stuff his head in a toilet and make his swirley go in the other direction. Is this guy a legitimate game critic? Seriously. Cause I'd be damned if I would beg or apply to read one of his r
