With Windows set to dark mode buttons AND Windows auto HDR enabled in the Start 11 app that are on the accent tone window group has their shading incorrectly applied making the text hard to read. Using snipping tool to capture the text fixes issue. Issue does not present itself in light mode.

I did some more researh on to this problem. If I load a theme that alters the task bar then Virtual PC will not load. If I use a theme like Areo Metal or Clay virtual machine will load. If I load any theme that prevents VM from working I have to change the theme and reboot or task end wbvista.exe before VM will work again. I have tried 6 different themes that alter the task bar including some from stardock and they all have the
I have to kill the wbvista.exe task. It can't be in memory for Virtual PC to work. All of the other executables like VistaSrv.exe and SevenConfig.exe *32 are ok if in memory. Normally I just reboot to re-enable window blinds. This is a fairly fresh install of Windows 7. I'll try and do a dump of open handles that wbvista.exe has and post them.

I have tried both WB7.01 and WB7.09c Windows 7 x64 Professional with 5GB of RAM.</
I have found that if I move the task bar to the left side of the screen WB 7.01 will cause Explore.exe to crash with most themes. If the taskbar is unlocked it will place the taskbar back at the bottom. Otherwise Explorer.exe will crash a few times and then be ok. This happens with some included themes as well as downloaded ones. There are some other odd crashes with WB but they are harder to duplicate and may just be because of the 64bit OS. A full 64 bi
