Jorge, perhaps you need to go to Microsoft and teach them how to put in a little checkbox that says "Notify me of beta (test) versions" [e digicons];)[/e]

[quote who="alaknebs" reply="18" id="3735665"] the only people screwed by this are those who know just enough to play blocking or modding stuff but not enough to know how to fix things. [/quote] "Checking for updates" is not blocking or modding stuff. It also isn't volunteering to test updates which are less tested than what they're pushing down. Anyone who wants to test can be on the insider ring.

If you mean Blur vs No Blur, it's Window Frames / Per Pixel / Borders / Caption [Extra Settings]tab, scroll down to "Blur effect" and click on it, check or uncheck "Enabled" to the right.

Looks like at this point the only blur that the "Use Acrylic Blur.." setting affects is the taskbar. The window frames and start menu are using acrylic blur regardless of it being on or off. Windows 10 Home (17763.rs5_release.180914-1434) WB 10.74 (054 - Windows 10 Edition) - 64 bit OS. Top image is a fresh install of Naked Noir with "Use Acrylic Blur..." not checked. Bottom image is with it checked. Only thing that changes is the taskbar. <img src

There is a setting in Start10 that affects blur. You can only access it while you have the default Windows skin applied within WB. It's been awhile and a few versions of Win10 and WB since I played with it, but at that point I decided I wanted "Use Acrylic Blur..." unchecked. It does (did?) affect the blur within WB, and I think it may have also impacted transparency or the ability to adjust transparency within WB. It might be worth checking. There is also a "Transpare

Hopefully it would also cut down on the consumption of those "legal" garbage synthetics. I don't know if those are floating around in Canada, but here in the States they are and they put people, sometimes in groups, into the hospital from time to time.

Way too much thrashing about on my machine twice a year, for what I perceive to be very little real benefit (as opposed to the occasional Service Pack release method.) It seems like they're creating a lot of work, everywhere, needlessly.
