Description

Describe the bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is:

DWMBlurGlass is consistently and randomly crashing whenever opening a program (any and all) and/or opening File Explorer window, causing the title bar to revert back to old default size.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Restarting PC; DWMBlurGlass will crash again after some minutes (opening File Explorer window or any program) and will keep happening randomly, regardless. Title bar is always broken when DWMGBlurGlass crashes.
After DWM crashes, I try to untick and re-tick Restore Win7 style title bar size and hit save and it does nothing; the title bar is still default fat-sized)

Screenshots

If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem:

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.
Restart PC again; Restore Win7 style title bar size is OK, but, DWMBlurGlass will inevitably crash again when opening any program after some minutes (~2-5 minutes after logon) and when it crashes it always reverts the title bar back to default (fat) size as shown in the screenshot attached.
