(sorry for my bad english... it needs a lot of improval *g*)

If youre using your computer for a long time every day, and are a power user, youre running into problems every day.

Show stoppers which after (contacting support guys) lead into removing the product.

Done it with WB5, then bought WB6 after talking to the support, needed to uninstall WB6, gave the patches a try... nothing changed and no feedback...

Some support guys also tend to delete bug reports (seeking reasons for closing instead listening to customers), especially Curt Hendzell.... David Marquis seems to be one of their better guys.

There are many bugs... everywhere... even Impulse is error prone... David has passed a few to the devs, and some more important ones are beeing trivialized... Especially if youre updating a lot, you see Impulse to corrupt its downloads a lot.

This behavior killed my Impulse on update, killed WB, killed my Explorer as Fences got updated with the corrupt data... after that ive ended with a crashing, iconless Explorer.

The only answer i get... uninstall->reinstall... but none seems to be interrested into bug fixing. even if i offer to run debug tools and versions or help them.

This is no trolling... some of my fixes where included in WB and that was ok... for example the fact that WB accessed the disk on every mouseover and every small messagebox or menu that opened... or the fact that Impulse clipped its text...

I like Stardock... and the biggest part of this is cause of Brad Wardells success and his visions and ideas that inspires me.

If it's a somewhat recent integrated graphics chip, it really shouldn't matter. I have WB running on a Netbook with integrated graphics, not a big deal.

If you have a purchase copy of WindowBlinds, you can contact [email protected] with your system information and they will assist you. :)

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
    • CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
