Windows 10 Task Manager and Windows Blinds old bug.

February 1, 2021 10:53:30 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi.

I'm using latest WindowBlinds 10 under Windows 10 20H2 and 21H1 Dev Fast Ring. And when i use Ctrl + Shift + Esc then Task Manager has no Windows Blinds skin only default Windows 10 theme. But when i use Ctrl + Alt + Del and start Task Manager, then skins work correct.

This will be because holding down ctrl tells WindowBlinds to exclude the application and the hotkey you are using involves holding ctrl.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

I am afraid we do not support Windows 10 fasting builds.

It isn't a bug as noted above.

Holding down ctrl tells WindowBlinds to not skin a process and you will have ctrl held down from that hotkey combination.

You can disable WB from looking at the ctrl key by creating the following registry key : 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\WindowBlinds\wb.ini\Global

DisableCtrlKey

Give it a type of REG_SZ and a value of 0.

Be aware that it will stop you using ctrl to exclude processes on launch.

I add this but this modification works only ones for Ctrl + Shift + Esc.
