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 - After a Windows Update I am not able to log in anymore |
Try to use a profile that is not using 3rd party theme. From there you can uninstall the patcher and reboot. Now you should be able to log into your standard profile and if you like can install the patcher again! |
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! |
Problem - I do not want to modify system files |
UltraUXThemePatcher is working only in that way! If you don“t want this you cannot use my solution, sorry! Maybe SecureUxTheme from namazso fits more. |
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 - Silent installation of UltraUXThemePatcher does not work anymore |
This has been disabled! Thank all developers who have integrated my solution without reference or even better create an own installer that does nothing but run my Patcher unattended and wants money for it. |
