v1.0.3.0

Release v1.0.3.0

This update focuses on refining the user experience, fixing visual glitches, and ensuring that your mod backups are 100% complete to prevent post-restore sync issues. We've stripped away unnecessary complexity in favor of a rock-solid, streamlined core.

What's New

• Complete Source Code Backup: Fixed an issue where Windhawk would display "Update Available" after a restore. The tool now correctly backs up the source code (.cpp / .wh.cpp) for all selected mods, not just local ones, guaranteeing a perfect 1:1 restoration.
• Silent Registry Operations: Completely eliminated the ugly red NativeCommandError pop-ups. All reg.exe export and import operations are now executed safely and silently in the background.
• UI Stability Fixes: Resolved a memory management bug that caused the window's title bar icon to randomly disappear. Additionally, XAML parsing logic has been hardened to prevent unexpected token errors upon launch.

Downloads

• Windhawk_Backup_Manager.exe (Standalone executable)
• Windhawk_Backup_Manager.ps1 (Source script)

v1.0.2.0

Release v1.0.2 — Smart Restore Filtering

We caught a critical edge case during the restore process! Previously, if you backed up 50 mods but chose to restore only 5 of them, the tool would import the entire registry file from the ZIP. This caused Windhawk to display "ghost" mods in its interface that failed to load due to missing binary files. This release fixes that completely.

What's New

• Dynamic Restore Parsing: The registry parser is now a two-way street. During a restore operation, the tool actively reads the windhawk_reg.reg file inside your backup ZIP and dynamically filters it before importing.
• No More Ghost Mods: The tool now creates a temporary, strictly filtered registry file on the fly. It guarantees that only the registry keys for the specific mods you checked in the UI are imported into your system.
• 1:1 Consistency: Prevents Windhawk from throwing "file not found" errors by ensuring your registry entries and restored compiled binaries are always perfectly synchronized.

v1.0.1.0

Release v1.0.1 — Smart Registry Filtering

This update tackles a major logic flaw in the backup process and introduces Smart Registry Filtering. Previously, exporting the registry would dump the entire Windhawk tree, meaning settings, symbol caches, and orphaned entries for unselected mods were slipping into your backup ZIPs. Not anymore.

What's New

• Smart Registry Parsing: The backup engine now dynamically parses the exported .reg file line by line. It actively strips out any Engine\Mods and Engine\ModsWritable keys belonging to mods you didn't explicitly select.
• Cleaner Restores: Your backup ZIPs are now strictly limited to the exact mods you chose. No more ghost entries or bloated registry files cluttering up your clean Windows installations.
• Core Settings Preserved: While unselected mod data is stripped out, essential Windhawk engine configurations (like UI language, dark mode preference, and safe mode flags) are safely preserved in the backup.
• Zero Duplication: Local mods and compiled binaries are perfectly mapped, meaning no duplicate exports or missing files.

• Windhawk_Backup_Manager.ps1 (Source script)
