This is not a new thing, MS has been doing it for years but we are never going to see the line "Window 8/10/11 The Best OS Yet, Just Ignore all the Spying" Peeps like us expect the Spying and third party access to grow with each New OS, so we take steps to prevent it, is it right Hell NO, but if we want to use Windows for free we deal with it and close down those backdoors. I am sure many of us as Techy people help others, family and friends, so our job is to spr

Agree with you PhoenixRising1. MS has for a long time tried to increase the info they can skim from a users Operating System, and i too realised a long while ago not to use a Microsoft account when installing a fresh Windows 7/8/8.1/10/ and now 11, maybe this is why i have no problem migrating to Win 11.MS are trying to make it harder during the initial set up of Win 11, trying to steer you to include a MS id or account, but for all the ways the try to spy on you,

If you decide to use a dedicated program like Winrar for future zip archives, remember to keep it updated as content compressed with newer editions of the program require you to use updated editions to work correctly, just a tip.

Windows 11 for me has been just fine allowing me to use plenty of my Software i used in older Windows Editions with no problems except Windowblinds as that does not work without using ExplorerPatcher. There are always plenty of free programs around which remove all the bloatware and close down all the MS loopholes that this thread refers too, and there has been such programs since Late Windows 7, now they are just much better matching removing the new stuff we do not and should

Maybe i am like you PhoenixRising1 in wanting Win 11 to be as customized as possible, but to be honest i was like that with other Editions of windows. I came to Windowblinds back in the old XP days and was blown away with what it can do, still am, maybe that is why i started talking in this thread, i honestly thought WB11 would be right behind Start11 and was a bit shocked to read how long off it would be, that is why i had to for

Tell me about it PhoenixRising1 , after what seems like a lifetime of Soldiering in some terrible places and being one of the oldest mature students in University (Did my masters Degree in my late 30s) i can testify to the younger peeps getting a good head start with all things IT, we just never had those things. I am sure when we do get WB11 , it will set us up for several years at least, or hope so depending how many future changes MS like to do to the current Wi

Thankyou don5318, we just hope to add to the bigger picture enabling a speedy release of WB 11, as that is what we all want. I too am a Guy in my later years and can still show the young un's a thing or two as IT is my passion, a bit slower maybe, but i think experience is everything.

I agree with PhoenixRising1 and as there is no WB11 right now, some of us are actually doing something that may help out the peeps who will create WB11 by showing screenshots that present some early possible issues that will when taken in the bigger picture all help towards Planning the next Windowblinds, that to me is still on topic. The company have told us numerous times about the possible problems in planning a new WB11, what we are doing (spending untold hours going through se

I too like to change things that do not work into something that does, a lot of us are IT guys and gals and that is what we do, also a lot of us can not just ignore Windows 11 until WB 11 is here as we have to use it to offer support for our work, for those who can wait, good for you, but those who can not, we adapt and try to overcome issues, maybe that is why Humans are so Curious, we like to fix things. I have come to understand there will be NO WB11 for a while yet, but please do

PhoenixRising1 Great work, i followed your lead and did manage to get a working WB10 on my Win 11 Enterprise latest build. I too had the same issue with the Borders but to have gotten this far when no one else has is a big plus for many, i am sure, tried several of my older masterskins designed for older operating systems and they work well too (all had the border issue) Good for you getting this far. I too really hope older skins work in

This is the biggest move forward in the ability of using WB10 on a fully updated Windows 11, not even the company have gotten this far yet (no beta or any kind of early stage development, i guess there is no pleasing some peeps) I am sure the transparent issue in borders will be solved as it will be a setting in either Start 11 or the explorer Patcher . You say " I Don't call that working" Before this development, it was just E

Hi PhoenixRising1. I should have been more clear. The main problem using WB10 in Windows 11 is all about Explorer and how different the ribbon at the top is between the two. Windowblinds 10 can be installed on a Windows 11 system as a lot of us have tested it out, but explorer almost each time it is opened crashes . I and stardock and a few others would be interested in seeing how far you can take this, if you have the time can you test out more skins and see how stable e

PhoenixRising1 Are you saying your file explorer fix can make Windowblinds 10 work in Windows 11 as that would be a bit of a coup, not even the developers of WB 10 have come up with a usable WB beta that can do that. Right now i have uninstalled Start 11 as there is no working WB for Win 11, now using something similar myself as UltraUXThemePatcher has added support for Windows 11 and a lot of the themes now have an add on (Old New Explorer) allowing those of us who

Agree with JCurie , yes we have finally have a post from Bradsams, but even though his post says he will answer questions, the most important question "When will WB 11 be ready" was not, although he did confirm WB 11 would come at some point. To know something will be coming, really does not do it for a lot of us.

The creators of UX Theme Patcher have released a couple of updates enabling the use of many Windows 10 themes alongside another popular start replacement program, allowing them to work fine with Windows 11.

Am i wrong in thinking Skin Studio comes free with WB, i am sure i got it with mine . So it's not just us paying customers thrown under the bus, seems the Skinners who may rely on both programs to make some sort of living have been shat on from a high height too. WB was a very cool piece
