It looks like you may have installed a pre release update to Windows.

We have an update 11.05 which addresses this.

For anyone else running into this issue, make sure to open the About panel in WindowBlinds config and check for updates - we are pushing a new release.

Thanks Brad.

 I actually uninstalled the update thinking there was something wrong with it until I realized explorer worked with the default windows theme.

  And Glad to see it was being worked on even when the website isn't fully back

I'm still getting this, or at least the system file dialog isn't working, see this post, since the latest Windows update a day or two back.  This is with the latest version of WindowBlinds:

Windows 11 Core 23H2 (22621.ni_release.220506-1250)
WindowBlinds 11.04 (019 x64 - Windows 11 Edition) - 64 bit OS

That is, "Check for update" says I'm running the latest release.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I believe the update check still do not work properly, but you should get the latest WB version from here: https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/2374140091/Stardock+Network+Issue
