Jaguarek62 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) I’ve decided to create this thread, since the amount of half working programs have became kinda crazy. Handbrake - 1.3 is the latest officially supported version. At this time the newest version work just fine, but it is no longer supported. Beamng.Drive and Rocket League - Both give "App stopped working" When you properly exit them. They function just fine, but this weird message comes up every time. Geforce experience - While you can install and open the newest 1.24 geforce experience, it no longer screen captures and many other functions stops working. 1.23 is the latest one that still work normally. VMware workstation Pro - The newest 16.2.1 version of this still functions on 8.1, but 3D acceleration has been turned off for some reason. 16.1.2 is the latest one that still functions as intended. Logitech GHUB - The latest version works if you update it through vista compatibility setting. For some users a warning saying that the driver is not digitally signed pops up, but everything still works. iTunes - See my topic on this. Onedrive - Microsoft claims that it will stop working on 1st of january 2022 Office 2019 - Somewhere on msfn I’ve seen people claiming that it can be installed. I use office 365 and it still updates to their newest version just fine. Ryzen CPUs - They work just fine. Don’t forget to manually install missing pci drivers from amd folder and usb 3.1 root hub. Use AMD’s windows 10 driver version 2.17.25.506 RTX 3000 - Unfortunately no known workaround has been found RX 6000 by amd - They seem to work. Sometimes you get weird colors on unity games. Please contribute to this list. Cheers Edited December 28, 2021 by Jaguarek62 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still download and use it on 8.1 with registry tweak. "If you are using the OneDrive desktop application for business, starting January 1, 2022, support for this application will be aligned with the Windows support lifecycle." https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-onedrive-blog/end-of-support-for-onedrive-desktop-application-on-windows-7-8/ba-p/2929066 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppgrainbow Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 paint.NET 4.3.3 is the last version to work on Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1. Starting with version 4.4 paint.NET will only work on a more recent version of Windows 10 and Windows 11. paint.NET is also discontinuing 32-bit versions of its app even under 32-bit versions of Windows 10: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/118933-paintnet-433-is-now-available/ If paint.NET doesn't work on Windows 8, can you use Dependency Walker to determine which entry points are missing in Windows 8? Windows 10 will be supported until October 14, 2025 and Windows 11 will be supported until October 14, 2031. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far just removing the version check is enough to get it working, at least on Windows 8.1: https://github.com/archeYR/HandBrake-w81/commits/1.5.x Edited January 20, 2022 by Illen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoltboy01 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Strangely, if you download and install a version of Office 365, where you can still join the Insider Program (below 2301), it will install the latest (2303) without any errors on Windows 8.1. They officially ended support with 2301 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoltboy01 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Well, now that Office v2304 Insider is out, I wanted to test it doing the same method as I stated above, however I can't search for updates on older Office releases anymore. It simply says "Office is up-to-date" when I join the beta program. So, Microsoft must have noticed and blocked searching/installing betas on Windows 8.1 V2301 was the last officially supported V2302 works when you join Release Preview V2303 worked (can no longer be downloaded) V2304 ? , cant be downloaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
