dlangton Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Just wanted to mention that your fix worked fine for me, but it wasn't necessary to run the script as file the symbol files downloaded immediatly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlangton Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) I found a much easier way to take temporary ownership of System32, rather than messing with folder permissions. I installed TakeOwnershipEx-1.2.0.1-Win8.exe from Winaero. While it's for Windows 8.1, it works fine in Windows 10 Edited April 26, 2020 by dlangton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evgnb Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Run cmd/powershell with Administrator rights, then takeown.exe /f c:\Windows\System32\dwmcore.dll /a icacls.exe c:\Windows\System32\dwmcore.dll /grant:r *S-1-5-32-544:(F) Rename dwmcore.dll, then replace it by stable version 10.0.18362.693 http://www.mediafire.com/file/ztt21fbegu4g43p/dwmcore.7z/file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just a tip for everyone here, please for the love of all don't mess with file ownerships of Windows files, there's a far easier and cleaner way to replace the files, use this: https://github.com/jschicht/RunAsTI It will spawn a CMD that has Super Admin Privileges, that way you can rename, copy and replace Windows files without botching up the permissions.

Lifell Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 What I did was simply rename the 2 .dll's to something silly. They will still be in use and un-deletable while the current session of DWM is running. After that simply paste the 2 .dll's from the archive file in the "system32" folder and restart your PC (or restart DWM). Then I deleted the 2 old files and I had AeroGlass working. I obviously made a backup prior to all this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dna-systems Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Many thanks...followed directions and BAM! Successfully updated to .773 with AG working like it should. Did the same thing as you LifeII, took ownership of the 2 .dll's, renamed to old.dll, copied the archive dll's to System32, restarted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeofthebeholder Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Well... found out that if I run SFC(System File Check) it will "replace" the 2 working files with the "new" ones in the course of correcting abnormalities. Not the best scenario, but just have to settle not running SFC... unless you have to... if you don't want to go through the whole replacement process again.
