ItzZaphkiel Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) When I get full control of my laptop (ideapad gaming 3i 17) i will downgrade to 7, and how 7 is getting old, i think after 3-5 years the programs should stop supporting windows 7, so we will need the extended kernel , but for 7, so i just wanted to say this, the people from msfn should work on extended kernel to windows 7 after i tghink 2 years after this post, i cant help, but i can say this, bye :)!

Sergiaws Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I don't know how to modify a dll, but I read that it may be easy to bring Windows 8.1 and some Windows 10 functions to Windows 7's Kernel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaguarek62 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Today I experienced unexpected thing on windows 7 machine in work. Our proprietary application that we use for security purposes in our company demanded this function: BCryptCreateMultiHash I hope this thread will become full of these missing functions for someone who will in future make extended kernel. By the way the app works just fine on windows 8.1 but does not work on windows 8.0 Edit: I know that this function is also missing in vanilla windows 7: SetProcessDpiAwarenessContext Missing functions: BCryptCreateMultiHash - Bcrypt.dll SetProcessDpiAwarenessContext - user32.dll Edited April 10, 2021 by Jaguarek62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunryze Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Always thought this day was long from now. Sad to see functions now not existing in 7 Anyway, 8.1 is NT 6.3 so I wouldn't expect them to be that hard to backport, but could pose challenges with NT 6.2 not having it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacyfan Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 i think that a windows 7 extended kernal would be a good idea i vote for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 We do not need more than one thread created for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sorry but I don’t agree merging these two topics. I wanted clean thread that would later add new missing functions demanded by the apps. Now it is a mess and new comments will make it invisible.

I guess that more than invisible, comments might make the topic as visible as the Windows 7 extended kernel in its current status (non-existing). When (if) someone will ever start writing an extended kernel for 7, I am pretty sure that you (and everyone else) will be able to make requests/post lists of missing functions. jaclaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergiaws Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 My suggestion would be to rename this topic, so it would be called as Windows 7 missing functions or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
