For some reason I've only noticed this when I've been trying DWM with it being forced off on Windows 10. With DWM forced off, you'll exhibit screen tearing and it doesn't look too good. Frieger's OpenWith Enhanced mimics the Windows 7 Open With dialog with a few more additions which is not dependant upon the DWM. You can use the legacy-style Alt-Tab App Switcher by tweaking some values in your registry. This includes the network, battery, language, clock, volume and action center flyouts in the taskbar. Lots of things will break in Windows 10 with DWM not running, so here's some of those:Īnything that involves the immersive flyouts will not work. Your system may freeze while attempting to run the provided scripts. The registry tweaks such as the console window log on screen and legacy UAC prompt dialog are no longer functioning. This does NOT appear to be working in newer versions of Windows (version 1709).I'm not responsible if you end up damaging your Windows installation if you use the batch scripts involved here. The console login screen is switched on when the Force Disable DWM script is executed as you'll get a black screen of nothingness if you keep the GUI Logon screen active. Place pssuspend.exe in the same folder as this file, or at your system's System32 folder, which is better as it'll work regardless of your current directory in the command line. Go get PsTools at Microsoft's TechNet website This requires pssuspend.exe from SysInternals' PsTools by Mark Russinovich This breaks a lot of features more than it does when DWM is running, it may but mostly likely may not benefit your use of Windows 10.ĭon't bother with trying to use this on Windows 8/8.1 or any touch screen device where a physical keyboard and mouse is not possible to use. If you ever wanted to disable the Desktop Window Manager (and vsync) for some strange reason, then this is supposed to make it less tedious to accomplish.
