"Unable to restore DWM" error

[Techguy47]

Hi all, I was using DisableRoundedCorners and then updated to newer version and when I ran the .exe file again it said "Unable to restore DWM".Is there any fix ?

I encountered this and to fix it I deleted uDWM_win11drc.bak in C:\windows\system32 and rerun the exe.

Thank you, Markichu, your tip saved my life after I was forced to update my Windows 11 after encountering internet issues.

every time win11 updates
it gives me rounded corners like it's somehow preferable
every time i run this to restore sanity

i f- hate what they've done to computers and to the programming community

thank you for everything

if you're getting errors, it can be fixed and works - remove a "uDWM_win11drc.bak" from system32 with a command. can done it like: del C:\windows\system32\uDWM_win11drc.bak

then, try run apps again.

This issue stems from the fact that Windows will sometimes detect this modification as an "integrity violation" and restore the original uDWM file. Because the backup is still present, the program is unable to undo a non-existent patch. I propose that to handle such a scenario, the program should check if the uDWM file has been reverted before using the backup to restore the rounded corners.

Google took me to you. You are awesome. I'm sure your comment will help people for years to come with the rounded corners

[Kleissner]

Thank you sir that worked. Indeed this could be handled by the program.

Thanks, @Markichu! It worked and it was possible to disable rounded corners in Windows 11.
