With the latest cumulative update (KB5006746) bringing the Windows 11 build to 22000.282, the DWM file has been updated again and it lost all its sharp corner goodness!

This is the console output I'm getting:

Unable to determine function address.

Can you please fix it?

Moonique from the Virtual Customs forum has managed to restore the window frames and title bar so that the theming in those areas is possible, but had to replace several Windows 11 files with Windows 10 files.

Is it possible to do that or integrate that feature into this patch?

If you're to run the sfc /scannow command in the command prompt or terminal with the modified uDWM.dll installed it will be detected as a corrupted file, and the original uDWM.dll will automatically be restored on the next system start up- now when you try disable the round corners again the prompt outputs an error that states it failed to restore.

When I run the executable as administrator from the file explorer I get the following error.

Function address is: 0x227a4
Unable to find pattern in file.

For the sake of it, I copied the "uDWM.dll" file that was outputted alongside the executable in my Downloads folder & pasted\overwrote it in the "C:\Windows\System32" directory using the copy command in the WinRE command prompt after locating my Windows drive letter, and no changes were made to the corners upon continuing to Windows 11 afterwards.

Hello,

I have an annoying problem. In build 22000.556, the previously activated tool named "Win11DisableRoundedCorners" stops working. Enabling this tool will result in the error that the old DWM cannot be restored. Can it be fixed without damaging the DWM (which restores Windows Basic, which causes the system to stop working properly)?

Greetings, Onmp314

I ran sfc /scannow, but now i cant go back to box corners, all i ask for is a way to force it to install or uninstall, regardless of the state of dwm, like a command line argument:

Win11DisableOrRestoreRoundedCorners.exe --restore Win11DisableOrRestoreRoundedCorners.exe --patch

Every time i run the patcher it tells me it cant restore dwm (it's already original, and it doesn't have the perms to do so)

Ah, sorry I just realised this was old news! I tried the work-around of deleting uDWM_win11drc.bak and magic my problem is gone :-)

G'day Team,

I downloaded this App a couple of weeks back to get rid of the puerile Rounded Corners from Forms and Dialog Boxes in Windows 11. All good then.

But this afternoon Windows Update installed 10.0.22000.918 and the Rounded Corners were back.

And now running your App gets the "Unable to restore DWM" consistently and I am stuck with the "kiddie-proof" Windows.

Cheers, Paul

When I opened the exe file for a second time (to disable it), my entire desktop turned black. But I think it's just a window, because when I press that button on the right of the taskbar that minimizes all windows, my desktop is back to normal. I have no idea how to fix it, I've tried closing some exe files with Task Manager that I thought might be causing it, but nothing worked. I'm pretty sure it's not a different app causing this, because it happened right after I opened Win11DisableOrRestoreRoundedCorners.exe.

It'd be awesome to have this be installable with winget install valinet.DisableRoundedCorners just like we can currently with winget install valinet.ExplorerPatcher

For MFC apps and win32 apps,buttons and textboxes have rounded corners. For UWP flyouts like the "restored Windows 10 network" , buttons have rounded corners. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi Valentin-Gabriel,

firstly I want to thank you for this plugin.

Personally I don't have problem with rounded windows, I've just decided to use it order get rid of the weird, annoying padding in old-style context menus. It's default behavior when you change back context menu so it is Window's bug, and this is be more feature request rather than reporting a bug. Find please the screenshot bellow:

I have set back rounded corners, but with plugin installed it is the same obviously. I am wondering how complex it would be to fix that problem within your plugin.

Thank you in advance for considering it.

I stumbled across this preference in PowerToys. If you just want to disable rounded corners and you don't mind using FancyZones, this is by far the easiest (official?) way to do it:

If error occurs, run this.zip Solution provided by @Markichu . "I encountered this and to fix it I deleted uDWM_win11drc.bak in C:\windows\system32 and rerun the exe." Originally posted by @Markichu in https://github.com/valinet/Win11DisableRoundedCorners/issues/35#issuecomment-1156041456 It's a batch file that delete uDWM_win11drc.bak . That's it. Should work.

I only encountered this problem:

in Paint.NET (version 4.3.12 but I dont think its a version problem or even paint.net) the circle representing the brush cursor in the software has changed from circular (normal) to squared (precisely a square)

Im sure of this because I dont use additional brushes in paint.net

this tweak is a great change (but not this issue), I hate the round edges on the windows

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 ?
