[TIP] Replace winver.exe with ModernWinver

[FadeMind]

Replace opening winver.exe with NewModernWinver.exe via regfix

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\winver.exe]
"Debugger"="C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps\\14082CryzenTechnologies.ModernWinver_1.1.1.0_x64__6b5yntewjra3r\\NewModernWinver.exe"
"UseFilter"="0"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\winver.exe\0]
"AppExecutionAliasRedirect"=dword:00000001
"AppExecutionAliasRedirectPackages"="*"
"FilterFullPath"="NewModernWinver.exe"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\winver.exe\1]
"AppExecutionAliasRedirect"=dword:00000001
"AppExecutionAliasRedirectPackages"="*"
"FilterFullPath"="NewModernWinver.exe"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\winver.exe\2]
"AppExecutionAliasRedirect"=dword:00000001
"AppExecutionAliasRedirectPackages"="*"
"FilterFullPath"="NewModernWinver.exe"

save as fix.reg and launch. Add entries to registry.

Now after launch winver will open new modern WinVer instead of legacy popup from Windows.

Rollback changes:

reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\winver.exe" /f

@FadeMind Will it cause any issues?

[FadeMind]

No issues.

[ElitePheonix2009]

I have saved it as fix.reg, ran it and then restarted, but now it's not launching using winver. I get this error.

@FadeMind Pls tell how to fix it. Meanwhile rolling back the changes.

[ElitePheonix2009]

It's opening like normal after running the rollback command in cmd (admin).

used this, the application launch but it's giving me an error about missing DLLs, specifically SharedLibrary and mrt100_app

NET Framework is on the latest version

It seems that starting any program directly from the WindowsApps folder will fail. I encountered the same error.
