Very Hard to Accept the Failure of Win 8.1 and Myself for Not being able to fix it…
But For Now, I have Found the Reason for why it was crashing Even after disabling Shields(It was due to Multiple Profiles, Shields for yt Must be Whitelisted on all Profiles).
Crash Issue Fixed
Adblocking-> Using my own Method Still Works

I Believe these videos will add clarity on why adblocking Issue of Shields can Still be Fixed in updates…
Please take your time for Fixing Adblock But for Now, While Shields are UP and Even if User has Allowed all Trackers and ads, Kindly update the adblocker to STILL Block the Custom Elements Which an user has added to Content Filters…
The Elements and Infinte Scroll Render blocking Followed here is not working while Shields are UP and Allow all trackers and ads is used…

Fix for this issue is If Shields is up, Regardless of what setting users are using (Aggressive, Standard block or Allow all ads), Custom Elements Must Still be Blocked.
VM Guide will be added on Saturday, April 6.
