dear,
1. I do not know about Steam version or Stardock Direct, I purchased the Object Desktop manager, I install the windblinds from the Object Desktop manager, finding it is not work. I think it should be the Stardock Direct.
2. there is no error message when I installing the Windowblinds,except "WindowBilnds does not appear to be installed correctly on your machine" when I try to apply the new style
3. yes, I reboot after the installation
4. Here is the current status of the software
I Windows 10 Enterprise (17763.rs5_release.180914-1434)
WindowBlinds 10.74 (054 - Windows 10 Edition) - 64 bit OS
WindowBlinds is not installed correctly on this PC. If you did not reboot after installing WindowBlinds 10 for the first time, then please reboot and try this again.
