[SOLVED] Aero Glass For Win 8.1+ incompatibility issue message at startup ?

[pauly01]

I use Windows 10 Pro on a Dell XPS 9550 laptop that is 5 years old.

Few years ago I had this message at startup each time. I basically ignored it for many years. Then I think someone told me to download something or remove aero glass and I no longer got that message at startup anymore. But maybe a year later or so, I got a very similar message and it shows up each time i turn on my windows ten pro laptop.

Basically it shows:

Red X Mark dwm.exe

Aero Glass For Win 8.1+ Incompatibility issue
Your system version is not supported by this version of Aero Glass. Continue Anyway?

Retry/Cancel


So each time this happens, I click Cancel


Then It Shows:


Red X Mark Aero Glass For Win 8.1+ Incompatibility issue
Aero Glass does not know how to hook your version of DWM (0x7FF3).

Do not report this because this is not a bug.


Retry/Cancel (I click Cancel)

I remember few years ago I had this same error message each time i start up my laptop. I fixed it by doing something but a while later on, I got this message again.

I also have ton of lagging on my laptop. Could this be a reason? I remember I installed aero glass a while back because i wanted the windows to have that transparent look like windows 7 because when i first used windows ten... i wasn't a fan of how it looked.

I think someone told me the reason i get this message is because there is no longer support for aero glass for windows ten. So does this mean I either have to get this annoying message each time or remove aero glass?

According to the following page, the latest release of Aero Glass (1.5.13) only supports Windows 10 up to version 1909, so if your Windows 10 is later than 1909, that could explain your problem: https://www.glass8.eu/download

So check your Aero Glass version & your Windows 10 version.
