Windows 10: Re: Windowblinds

I recently asked a question here about re-colouring my titlebars and so forth, in the same way as it could be done in Win 7. Specifically, I want to darken and / or re-colour the scroll bars.

S.M.A.C.C was recommended and I DL'd it, although I have not installed it simply because I was informed that it would not deal with scroll bars.

But a recent thread, here, asked about Windowblinds. I had WB years and years ago. Seemed like it did what it said it would do (including modifying the scrollbars) without too much hassle.

However, many of the skins seem like they were originally designed for earlier versions of Windows...although it is claimed that most will work with Win 10. I even recognize one that I had used years ago.

So my question is: Are there any indications that Windowblinds will cause trouble, or put a heavier load on the processor or interfere with other software (including Windows 10) ?

Any good reason to not use it?

False WindowBlinds detection blocking Fall Creators Update

Thanks lacrumb for responding. Your suggestion doesn't help though. WindowBlinds is not a form of malware. It is a Windows desktop theme and UI app from Stardock. Malwarebytes or Windows Defender would not see it as a threat that needed quarantine.

I scanned the Windows Registry and Installer database for any WindowBlinds entries and there were none. I suspect that a different app installs a file with a similar name somewhere that triggers a false positive for WindowBlinds. I did try and install the
latest version of WindowBlinds and then uninstalled it. That had no change in the Fall Creators Update install blocking behavior.

I had the ISO of the live SC which contained the WindowBlinds inside. I have found it using steps from on of the posts
