Problem - Patcher is patching, but after a reboot nothing is modified |
In rare cases after a Windows 10 Update, the patcher is not able to take ownership of the necessary files in c:\windows\system32 (uxtheme.dll, uxinit.dll, themeui.dll). Only solution today: Sign in as Administrator, take ownership to the 3 files and grant full authorization, reboot and afterwards use the patcher again as Administrator. The modification should work now. |
Problem - After a big Windows Update the Patcher says the files are not supported |
Run sfc.exe /scannow to restore the system files that are not updated correctly by the Windows. After a reboot the patcher should work again! |
Problem - After patching on Windows 10 and login into, the PC get black screen and reboots |
A 4k monitor or higher uses a special resolution, therefor themes are necessary that support 200% DPI (e.g.here)! |
Problem - After uninstalling the monitor remains black after restart |
Fast Startup/FastBoot is the problem. 1) disable Fast Startup, 2) shut down (do not restart), 3) boot up, 4) uninstall UltraUxThemePatcher! For more information have a look at detailed tutorial. Is this too late, only a repair installation (inplace upgrade) or a complete new installation helps. |
Problem - Completely undo changes |
First, always a standard Windows theme should be set, otherwise it may cause problems when booting (see problem 3). Thereafter, the application should simply be removed through software -> uninstall. All backups will be restored so the original files are back! |
Problem - No file explorer folders will open from the start menu or in certain apps save dialogs look broken |
Please uninstall the patcher and run sfc.exe /scannow from the comand line! After a reboot a reinstall of the patcher should work again |
Problem - Explorer crashes or display errors after update |
Themes of older Windows Versions are not compatible with the latest Windows Version. Therefore, please contact the developer of the theme, I can not help you here! |
