I asked the upload question on another thread and received no answer hope I get one this time. I See you can upload start 10 now. also WindowBlind beta. My question is.

If lets just say Start 10. If you upload it is it gone and you have to install again or can you get it back? Neil I believe posted how to upload it. But I would have no idea how to get it back.

WindowBlinds 10.0.2 beta installer is giving the following error installing on Windows 10 Insider build 14257:

"Encountered a sharing violation while accessing C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\WindowBlinds\Screen.exe"

And yes, I tried running installer as Admin.

Did anyone get this, please?

I believe it's got something to do with your AntiVirus software interfering in some way.

Expect such issues using what is essentially a beta build of an OS. I'm sure SD is grateful for you reporting it.

We typically don't give an estimate as release dates can change quickly with development and QA. When there's news to share, it'll be posted here. ;)

If you unload it's only "exited" in a way. You can run the app again and then apply a skin again. No need to reinstall. It's a quick way to remove any skinning and return to the default Windows skin immediately.

Thank you Gear. I only had one reason and that was to have the original win 10 start menu available if I wanted to use it. Start 10 does it even better as it available from the start 10 menu without uploading or anything which I just noticed. Start 10 rocks.

WindowBlinds 10 is crashing for me, insta-logout on Windows 10 64 bit with Norton 360, had to do system restore to last saved point to be able to boot.

Is this common issue?

PS Earlier WindowBlinds 8 was installed in Win 7 64 bit which was upgraded to Windows 10 64 bit, but WindowBlinds 8 had some issue with startmenu so had to uninstall it.

That is not a common issue and I am not aware of any other reports even close to it.  I would recommend contacting support so they can collect more information about your setup.  I will ensure someone has checked Norton 360 in case the AV package is causing some problem.

Regarding WB8 on Win10, WB8 would have had no issues with the start menu BUT would have messed with the taskbar terribly.

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this problem. Can you download and run the tool below:

http://sd.stardock.com/Support/supportToolTest/SDSupportTool.exe 

Then attach the .zip that's created and send it in with a ticket to support. With your ticket, if you could also link to this forum post, it would be most helpful:
