JayBee73 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 No joke...http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/windows-81-update-1-very-early-previewThanks for the info. I take it will be an update... so.I still want to know:If I tend to go to 8.1, do I uninstall AeroGlass 8 1.2 and do a fresh one of the Pre-Release, and will I need to get a new key for it?Just wanted to know.
NoelC Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Short answer: Yes, you will want to uninstall, no you won't need a new key for the new version.I suggest you wait just a bit longer... There are indications a release is imminent.-Noel

Hancoque Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I suggest you wait just a bit longer... There are indications a release is imminent.Hmm, there is still a problem I encountered that I remember now. After playing Pinball FX2, the dwm.exe window has reappeared, so it seems that the game causes a DWM crash/restart. I played the (free) Steam version but it's likely that it doesn't differ technically from the original release for the Windows 8 modern UI.
NoelC Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I don't know if it's related to running the January 7 version, but my Passmark scores for display operations are up a little bit.-Noel
bigmuscle Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 If dwm.exe crashes due to unhandled exception then minidump.dmp is generated. Please upload it. If dwm.exe is terminated due to handled unexpected fatal error, then system log contains event entry with error code. Please provide it. If dwm.exe is terminated without minidump/event log and debug.log contains "Uninstalling..." line (visible only if logging is enabled), it means that dwm.exe was naturally restarted. If dwm.exe is terminated without minidump/event log and debug.log does not contains "Uninstalling..." line, it means that something in your computer terminate dwm.exe process forcibly.
Hancoque Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Correction: It's Pinball Arcade, not Pinball FX2, that's causing the problem.There is no minidump, but two events have been logged:[19:30:25] The Desktop Window Manager has encountered a fatal error (0x8898008d)[19:30:25] The Desktop Window Manager has exited with code (0x8898008d)The debug.log says:[2014-01-09 19:30:25][0x38C:0x9E0] Uninstalling...[2014-01-09 19:30:25][0x1474:0x1AE8] Donation key loaded...
bigmuscle Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 This error code (0x8898008d) has already been discussed. It means "No HW rendering device is available for this operation.". Your video adapter or driver probably turned off for some reason.
Soukyuu Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Crash report:Going to PC settings -> update and recovery -> clicking on any of the "more info" links on an update launches the desktop version of Chrome on my machine, meaning a transition between ModernUI -> Desktop. This is when the crash happens. [Minidump]
bigmuscle Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks for report. However, it is crash in CAnimationEngine which is bug in DWM and this crash can be easily reproduced even when Aero Glass is not installed.
bigmuscle Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 Any urgent fixes/changes which need to be done now?
Soukyuu Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Not from my side. I'm seeing a lot of dwm restarts when changing from Modern UI to desktop, but as you said it's happening without aero as well so it's nothing you can fix. I'm guessing that could mean the release of the final version?
MagicAndre1981 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I tested the installer in a fresh VM and it works.
