Joanfusan, you are using TB 40? Have you tried TB 38? On my Win 10 TB 40 is working as it should (except the caption buttons, which are needing the xpi from bug 1188778 until this is fixed). It looks like a graphics driver issue. Please can you try start TB in safe mode (clicking on TB's icon while holding the shift button)?

I will try with 40 beta first, and after with 38. I tried launch version 38 in safe mode and the interface works fine. Thanks for the advice.

Does TB 38 also work when started normally? If no, start in safe mode and open the Options. Then go to Advanced/General and untick the "Use hardware acceleration when available". Now restart in normal mode and hopefully it works.
