Hmmm .... I just updated to WB 8.09 and now I am unable to open My Computer or my file manager Directory Opus.  I can open Windows Explorer.  

If I set the WB theme to Windows Aero, I can open My Computer and Directory.  I just can't open them with anyother theme.  Very odd.  I downloaded WB 8.09 twice to make sure I didn't have a corrupt d/l.  I installed on top of 8.06.  I also uninstalled 8.06 and did a fresh install and activation.  Same result.

I'll revert back to 8.06 since this was a minor update and I was having no problems.  If others have this issue, I assume there will be a fix and new version will be issued.  Otherwise 8.06 is good enough for me.

I updated to 8.09 working fine

I upgraded on Windows 7 and now Skype won't work. Everything you click on just says "Invalid image list.". So I uninstalled Skype, cleaned the registry several times, re-installed and same issue. Sure Hope I can get the older WB (8.06) from someone.

OK, went back to WB 8.06 and Skype 7.0.59.102 works fine now. Hope no one else has the problem.

The new version crashes my Firefox.

I'm using MS Security Essentials. 

Same here.

I had the same problem when I attempted to upgrade to 8.06: WB kept reporting 8.05 while ODM reported 8.06. I had to uninstall WB, then clean the registry. Installing WB 8.06 then reported correctly.

I have the same problem after upgrading to 8.09: WB reports 8.06 while ODM reports 8.09.

Obviously something is being missed in the registry when upgrading.

Ditto.

I mentioned the same issue above.  One thing you may not have noticed is should you try to open DOpus (or My Computer) with Chrome open, the Chrome tite bar disappears for a second then re-appears but without the min/max/close buttons. If you click the Chrome title bar the buttons re-appear.  I think there is something amiss with the way video is being handled, but that is purely a guess on my part.   By the way this only happens when one applies a skin.  If you switch to Windows Aero, none of this occurs.  

Sorry to hear some people are having issues.  Before updating today, I disabled AVG and Malwarebytes.  Both ODM and WindowBlinds are reporting version 8.09.  Haven't noticed any issues here so far on Windows 8.1.

So, uninstalled and installed for the 3rd time, all seems well for now.

Guys, I wouldn't expect help until after the holidays. I would advise not installing this update until an official statement has been made by Stardock/WC on the status of this matter.
