Screen display problems after WIN10 Anniversery Update
Not sure where this should go.
Tuesday, September 20, 2016 by patsycake | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I have been having problems with Windowblinds 10/Start10 (have latest versions as of now) not displaying the Start menu very well at all. When I click the start button the Start Menu comes up with no text. If I wait long enough the text fills in on the LEFT column (the time this takes seems to be proportional to how old the Windowblinds skin is. The RIGHT column needs a right click, it seems. Then if I select something like Control Panel it comes up as a thin black frame and takes forever to fill in. If it's really old, it never fills in.
I am running Windowblinds 10, Start10 but not Fences (kinda lost patience with that combined with all of this).
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I adore Windowblinds and have been a customer forever.
TIA! GO SEAHAWKS!!!

Good advice Jafo! My post was 2 fold. I wanted to alert folks who may be seeing 1 or 2 of these things, that they are not seeing things. Also I wanted to alert Stardock that AU may be throwing curve balls.
Just kinda a group think.
And yes my dinosaur HP LP3065 hasn't upgraded drivers in years. Just seems like there is more structure to these problems than just a busted driver.

Considering that one out of two of my machines was a total disaster after the AU update and that was without WB installed [I since rolled back to the old 10] if your system is extremely sluggish for the desktop to interact [eg. mouse-clicks or text input] one culprit may be graphic driver update issues.
My personal preference was to go back...and wait until Microsoft had all their ducks in a row.
