WIndows FX doesn't affect windows 10 (build 1803 RS 4 ) modern apps

from Stardock Forums

Hi 

 

I upgraded from windows 10 anniversary ( 1607 ) build to redstone 4 ( 1803 ) and windows FX doesn't change modern app behavior since update. 

Everything is ok with other apps than windows modern apps ( UWP )

I search on forum but nothing related or similar , everything worked fine under my previous build.

Using windows FX 6.04 

 

Thanks for help !

Hello,

 

Sorry to hear you are having issues. I am on Windows 10 V1809 Build 17763.437. And Windows FX work just fine. Please try the purge and reinstall : https://forums.stardock.com/485903/windowfx-support-faq#reinstalling

Just make sure to re-download the latest version from your account. Reboot after the purge. Reinstall WindowsFX. Reboot again and retest. Report back here.

Thank you,

Hi basj

 

Followed your instructions didn't change anything.

 

Some question : I have both system saves full backup under 1607 where FX works and the current 1803 .

 

Can I merge registry data from windows FX working under anniversary to the registry of RS4 ? 

I was wondering if there isn't something screwed there by any third party since I installed from fresh windows RS4 and all my apps .

Hi Basj

that's what I checked this morning on different builds , 1803 and 1809 on my laptop . So it's ok , settings and some other modern uwp don't work under those late builds Tompared to anniversary one 1607. 

What I noticed is when a modern app isn't affect with any effect, the titllebar doesn't have the right menu of windows FX : pin , transparent etc 

Hope Stardock fix that :)

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

While the animations work for all that I tested:

Menu options are not supported by most and have been noted internally.

Oh sorry I didn't mentionned at first it only concern " compiz style wobbly / jelly windows " in movement section 1st page of config for modern apps ( not all of them ) 

My bad . 

All of animations work fine even right menus ( RS 5 1809 )
