Wrong file. Here's the correct one: https://github.com/AEAEAEAE4343/SimpleClassicTheme/files/5929135/RegistryKey.zip You extract it (twice) and then you open the reg file

Then I can't help. This is an issue with Microsoft breaking the themes in Windows in a way that they still work but they can't be modified by the GUI. I'm going to further investigate this for solutions

I should mention i have a laptop with a older version of windows and it works fine so it has to due with windows updates

I'm going to close this as this is not an SCT bug. This is technically Microsoft's code being bad, which I can do nothing about.

Reopening this issue. Not because I have anything planned for it, but so that people are aware that this exists before creating issues.

Update on the topic: I have created my own GUI for applying classic scheme colors and metrics, which will be part of SCT. It was made by fully reverse engineering the classic scheme format, custom drawing a preview and saving into a new format, which supports some extra stuff. This is currently being developed on on branch mct, and will be part of SCT 1.7.0. This will also properly fix #81, as applying the default scheme through SCT will fully restore all theme settings to normal, unlike SCT 1.6.0. Note that this will still take a while to release, as 1.7.0 also contains major changes in the way Classic Theme gets applied.
