We are experiencing an issue with ESET and WindowBlinds at this time and are trying to work with them to resolve it.
In the meantime, please try the following:
- Open the configuration window for ESET, click Setup.
- Select Computer Protection
- Select the gear to the right of Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS).
- At the bottom of the Basic Section you should see "Rules"
- Select "Edit" to the right of "Rules"
- Select "Add" at the bottom of the screen
- Give the rule a name like WindowBlinds and set action to ALLOW.
- Enable the "Operations affecting" options (Files, Applications, Registry entries)
![]()
- Select Next
- Then, on the Source Applications window pick Add... and browse to the WindowBlinds directory and select wbcore.exe
![]()
- Select OK
- Select Next
- Enable "All file operations"
- Select Next
- Select Next on the "Files" window
- Enable "Application operations" again
- Select Next
- Select Next on the "Aplications" window
- Enable "Registry operations"
- Select Next on the "Registry entries" window
- Select Finish
- Select OK
- Select OK
- Select Yes if prompted for User Access Control
- Then click OK on each of the dialogs and sign out.
When you sign back in you should find WindowBlinds 8 is now happy with ESET(or rather ESET is happy with WindowBlinds)
If you still experience difficulties, disable HIPS and restart your computer. You can read more about HIPS here.
