ShadowFX 1.12 in Windows 10 1607 only shows bottom shadow

ShadowFX 1.12 after Windows 10 1607 Anniversary Update only shows the bottom shadow effect. The left, right, and top shadow shows the stock Windows 10 shadow. Has this been discovered by anyone else?

You are teh second report we've seen of this.  Interesting.

If you make a custom shadow that's wide, does it work?

Uninstall ShadowFX, reboot, reinstall ShadowFX.

Is it now better?

OK, I feel stupid.  I was running version 1.11 not 1.12.  I usually keep my software up to date but that one slipped by me.  After installing 1.12 I don't have the problem anymore.  Sorry for the confusion.

I had the exact same problem. And it was the exact same solution. The interesting thing for me is that it only happened to certain windows (eg the Steam friends list). It seems that the Windowblinds skin I'm using has its own shadows that it uses for certain windows - those were all fine. For certain windows though, it seems that ShadowFX was being used and 1.11 was messing up. 1.12 fixed it. I only noticed the problem after the Windows 10 anniversary update.
