Can't use the app, not even installing

Describe the bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is:

The app just doesn't work for me. After downloading the release, and moving the "Release" dir from the zip file into C:\Program Files\DWMBlurGlass directory (which I created), everything's great - until I run the DWMBlurGlass.exe file, and it stops the work. I mean, the app stops responding. Can't do anything in it - it just.. stops responding. And its 50% transparent.

I've attached the screenshot, of what I am seeing, when I launch the app, in the "Screenshots" section below.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

I don't really know. I can provide you the programs I've installed, which change the explorer - I did it in the section below. NOTE: One (or two) times, when I ran DWMBlurGlass.exe, I could click at the checkboxes (and the app seemed to catch the mouse events), but now it just doesn't work. I don't know if the problem is clicking the Install button, or how long is the app run. It's really weird.

Yep, I checked if all the files from the .zip archive are moved into the program path (C:\Program Files\DWMBlurGlass\Release). Pls help me with this bug, cuz I wanna have fancy pc xD

Screenshots

If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem: The background below the app isn't important, other program on my pc. image image

Additional context I don't really know about the problem. I don't have time to test it on a VM, because I am lazy and have stuff to do. I've provided you all information I can.

oh fuck when i was typing the programs it seems like i didnt type the word "redistributable" at every single fucking library in these visual c++ redistributables sooooo forgive me xd also if i didnt type it in the list, i use process hacker, so if you want i can check for some shit with it - i mean what is it doing or smth (but i think i can do nothing with that cuz i fucking dont know c or c++ or j# XD)

EDIT: I have also installed TranslucentTB from ms store now - as of 12:15 pm

Also if you read this issue till here, pls use more english in this whole project, cuz I am polish and I dont understand your 团 chinese language. And thats some random char from chinese i didnt mean anything by it (it seems like it means "group" cuz google translate told me). So please use english.

I think you can use Task Manager to create a memory dump file for the not responding DwmBlurGlass GUI so we can figure out what's going on. These random characters don't seem to make any sense as they are not included in this program as far as I know.

I'm guessing you're using an NVIDIA graphics processor, which seems to have something to do with drivers, if so check out #163.

By that message I meant that i just dont understand chinese, this random char was a joke just to tell you that a lot of places in dwmblurglass project on github you have chinese.

Anyway, ALTaleX531 asked me a hour ago to create a memory dump in task manager. Okay, so task manager lags for me, but i have process hacker so i've created an exe dump - which is probably the same. Here you go:

...I had to upload it on google drive because its 223 mb and github doesnt handle such big files. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Qi7SSkJ7P7UcjDMRRzkD8t47X0SzXtSS/view?usp=sharing

EDIT: Also, here are all my nvidia related programs I see: image

EDIT 2: Other nvidia related programs (but from start menu) I see: image

EDIT 3: ik a lot of edits but if youre gonna look whats wrong in this trash... i think you're smarter than me lol (i have visual studio and i've opened the dump) image

I checked it out, and it also may be because of the fact, that I haven't restarted my system for probably 2 weeks or longer (i am putting it to sleep all the time). If it's a very high chance, I may try restarting (i have a lot of shit open and not wanna relaunch it every time).
