Using WB11 on Win Pro 11 with ESET virus software

https://forums.stardock.com/486023/windowblinds-support-faq#notinstalled
from Stardock Forums

I cannot make WB11 work with Win 11 Pro, 22H2, O.S. ver 22621.2361. 2 different error messages.

"WindowBlinds is not installed correctly on this PC"

"WindowBlinds has detected you are using ESET antivirus which is breaking OS functionality which prevents WindowBlinds from working. You can fix this by following the instructions to exclude WBcore.exe from HIPS which will open up once this window is closed. Please reboot after following the instructions."

I followed the steps provided in Stardock's support document that opened, which is creating an exclusion in ESET HIPS, but WB11 still does not function correctly. I am hoping someone can share how they corrected this issue successfully themselves. If that information could please be shared, I would be grateful. If addition info is needed, please respond and I will provide.

Cheers and stay safe!

Thank you Basj,

 

These are the instructions I followed before, but it didn't work. It just the error message. I really appreciate your responce though. I will remove the rule, really rules, and try again. Again, Thanks Basj! You are a gentleman and a scholar.
