Animation Freezes on Startup, Win11

from Stardock Forums

After restarting and logging in, the animated Wallpaper is frozen. Restarting the Explorer process fixes this.

Windows 11 on a Geforce RTX 3070 TI, latest stable drivers/updates on everything.

I will try reinstalling to see if the situation continues.

Removing, reinstalling, and rebooting worked on the first reboot. But it freezes on every following reboot. Is the purge tool OK to use in Windows 11?

From what I understand, it should work in Windows 11 without issue.

Thank you,
