Windows10 Version 2004 (OS build 19041.685) Japanese language

When Curtains is applied to a UWP app, the UWP app does not display properly.

The window title text is duplicated and overlapped, and nothing is displayed in the window body.

The problem occurs with all UWP apps, including Windows Settings, Microsoft Store, Mail app, etc.

If I disable Curtains from being applied to UWP, it will appear correctly.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling twice, but no improvement.

As far as I know, this problem already existed in the previous version.

Unfortunately, I don't have time .

I will turn off the UWP.

Thanks for your support.

OK, I found the cause.

Curtains seems to be in conflict with Bins (by 1UP Industries).

I disabled Bins and UWP started fine.

Not sure if it's a bug or a feature, but since upgrading to Curtains 1.14, I'm seeing this white line on Windows Explorer on all themes (beneath "Datei", "Computer" and "Ansicht").

My OS:

Windows 10 x64 20H2 (Build 19042.685)

Other Software that's installed:

Curtains 1.14

Groupy 1.46

 

EDIT:

The "white line" is actually completely transparent. It just appeared white for me first because my Windows Explorer window was in front of a white web page.

We found the issue and it will be addressed in a future release.

Thank you for the report.

It seems Bins is indeed the cause here.

The good news is there is a fix.  Open bins settings, go to the help and about page and use the exclude an app link to exclude "ApplicationFrameHost.exe" then sign out and in again.

It should no longer break UWP apps.

It's good to know the issue is not just on my end.

Thank you for letting me know you already found the issue. I appreciate it!
