It's been whenever I use windowblind so... yes.

Much depends on if this happens with the stock skins (what came with WB) or that it only happens with 3rd party skins authored by others.  Does this happen with the Corporate skin, for example?

If this problem is present for all skins as indicated by sdRohan, I would recommend:

 

1.  Open WindowBlinds and choose the Default theme at top of the list and apply it.

2. Reboot.

3. De-install WindowBlinds ( I am assuming you have an active account and can re-download WindowBlinds)

4. Reboot

5.  Go to your Stardock Store Account and re-download the latest version of WindowBlinds.

6. Install WindowBlinds.

7. Reboot.

All should be well if the problem was a corrupted install of WindowBlinds.  Let us know if this solves the problem.

I think the first thing that needs to be done is for the poster to post what windows they are using and the windowblinds version.

After that info the first thing that should be done is said in Reply #5 and of course Reply #7. As far as 3rd party WB's. If the reference is to WB's made by skinners here and uploaded here I never heard of such a problem.

Drag your task bar to the vertical position and back down again. This happens to me occasionally and doing this fixed the issue.
