Windows Blinds does not install correctly. Then afterwards it fails to launch and I get the following:

"WindowBlinds has detected a problem with the core files. Please contact support with error message - 7

What is wrong with your services, that the app does not download and install properly.

Please help as I had just bought it the other day. I want my skins back as I just installed a new drive.

Thanks in advance for your timely help.

Regards.

Bob

This usually happens when the list of trusted root certificates in Windows is not updated (often on a fresh installation of Windows). If you recently installed a fresh copy of Windows, make sure to apply all the updates. Reboot your PC and try to install Windowblinds again. Usually, the problem solves itself over time.

This information applies to Windows 11 too although the link says otherwise.
