Error, Unable to restore DWM

Open cableghost opened this issue 4 years ago • 12 comments

As of today's latest 11 updates, it appears this approach no longer works? I receive the error "Unable to restore DWM"

I suggest you try ExplorerPatcher, it already has a better version of this patch built-in and much more. Alternatively, if you just want a patch standalone, the component that patches DWM from EP is kept in a separate repository, you can follow the instructions here to get that executable alone which does a much better job than this.

No, LOL. You just updated windows and you cannot restore it anymore because it is a different original file now! LOL, what?? Just delete bak file and patch again. IT IS THAT SIMPLE, wow.

thanks it works

I

DWM Wow, people just assume. DWM does not appear to be one of the system updates, so how is one to assume it is, and how are we to know about deleting the bak file? You remind me of the computer tech guy on SNL years ago ... dork.

I don't get what the purpose of this thread is anymore, but just to mention it, the README already tells about the backup file and how it patches something belonging to the DWM, I don't understand why a Windows Update should be labelled "for DWM" to assume that it might change something regarding that... update descriptions ar enever this verbose for anything, they just generally tell what has changed and that's it.

There is already a warning:

Besides, I already recommended a more proper alternative that works better.
