Thank you. Learn something new sometimes. Lol   

Guys, you won't believe it, but Microsoft fixed their bug in build 18277 (19H1)! WB is working again. 10.74 looks good.

Don't panic....they're just making room for newer and more improved bugs...;p

"features"

New and improved. Murphy's Law said so.  

More "features"....

Yes....the 'feature' that sees a 4 day wait for windows to check for updates....[as a sloth rushes past]...

....all your work/data files being summarily deleted....

....being told your Pro licence isn't real/legal...kindly Install 'Home'...

Gotta lurve Microsoft's 'features'.

Question.  Are we guinea pigs.....or lemmings?

Not to mention taking out device drivers along the way. I had to hunt down a driver for Realtek (whose home page returned a 404 and the one that did show up was in Korean, I think). Found it at Majorgeeks and now my lappy can make noise again. 

Cannon fodder

Speaking of Win 10 Pro. This morning I received a message the my OS is not activated. What happened was I had a dual boot with Win 8 and I deleted that partition so I could just have 10. 10 was activated because of 8, now that its deleted 10 doesn't see an activation. I tried to use the 8 pro key that doesn't work. 2 things I can do, install 8 again then upgrade to 10 or buy a key for 10. Either way I have to start all over again.

When I went to the Microsoft to buy a key it told me I have to buy a Home key. As Jafo said "being told your Pro licence isn't real/legal...kindly Install 'Home'".

Here is the global volume license key for Windows 10 Pro. 

W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX

This is a legal publicly available key. It's available from this MS site:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/kmsclientkeys

The trick is that you will need a KMS server or simulator to activate.

Windows 10 doesn't just usually lose a key.

Great Stuff, Stardock will always be update. sooner or later. Keep up the good work guys!  

Interesting, i believe you weren't the only one. I had it as well. just a few hours ago, but I keep all my purchased keys backed up. Although I did not input my keys into the activation, but I have them linked all of my activation's to my Microsoft account , so it went back to digital activation account. Maybe try to check on your account maybe you have it linked as well, you might get your activation back. Also remember if you replace a new hardware on your PC or change a new hardware it will deactivate windows. I hope I shared some information that can help you. Gods speed!    

The devs at Stardock are awesome.  Give them some time and they will always fix what is needed.  Everything works great over here.  Thank you very much.

Thank you, for this and your support - both mean a ton to us.

Not loading any theme just stays default so let me reboot and check another theme be back on the subject

Nope if I apply a different theme it start spinning logo for 2 minutes and then it stays at default theme strange

Maybe it is because i'm on LTSC enterprise version dunno

Not sure about that. But I suggest you to try the purge steps. Maybe some small thing when Windows doing its update. https://forums.stardock.com/486023/windowblinds-support-faq#reinstalling

Let us know the outcome.

Try the cleanboot to see if something is blocking WB : https://forums.stardock.com/486023/windowblinds-support-faq#cleanboot

Try it and let us know.

Allright did the clean boot procedure but still the same result not loading any skins and stays on default don't think something is blocking Windowblinds but maybe they have changed something for UI in LTSC like other time stamp ddl's or something
