I've been trying to use ClassicThemeTray as I thought it would be less demanding on my PC compared to SCT that way, I can keep it running while playing games.
Some reason, ClassicThemeTray causes the DWM for Windows 11 to crash and sends me back to the login screen.
Is there some way to fix that issue, or do I need to just switch to some other version of Classic theme?
I am currently running the latest version of Windows 11 21H2. |

I do not experience anything like this. Does it happen when you start it or when you play games? Also, you do not need keep it running after enabling classic theme.

It happen after a while of playing games, or if I'm working on an icon in GIMP.Something else that happens when DWM crashes and logs me out is that it messes up the display drivers for both Intel and Nvidia.

As I said, you do not have to have ClassicThemeTray running. What it does is changing permissions of a file in internal file system. Exit it after enabling classic theme and see if your games are still crashing.

So far, it doesn't seem to be causing anymore crashes. Although, there is some slight glitches where if the window isn't maximized, The icons for Close, Minimize and Maximize appear a bit glitchy.
