Thanks for years of faithful service! I used Windhawk to get my windows taskbar to the side of my desktop. Now that Microsoft has finally made that a feature again, I’ll delete Windhawk. But wanted to let you know I appreciate you guys and thank you for many years of supporting a windows modification that should’ve been standard.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the years of support!

I really wanted to drop a message and say how much I appreciate what you guys have done over the years. You kept a Windows customization alive that, honestly, probably should’ve been a standard feature in the first place.

Thanks again for the awesome work and all the years of support. Much appreciated!

Hello,
For an important project Im using windows tech preview builds:
9834 (kernal 6.4)
9888 (kernel 10)

I tried almost every ver of 7+ TT from 5.8 to latest and i got “loading library failed”

Kindly let me know if you can provide support code and how much i have to pay you.

Good day.

  Hi,
  These tech preview builds aren’t supported, there’s no support code to make it work, it has to be implemented, which is a non-trivial task. If you’d like to hire me for that, you can email me via the email on the top of this page.

After the latest update in Windhawk, the ‘Vertical Taskbar for Windows 11’ mod no longer works for me (Win11 LTSC IoT)

Please attach debug logs by following the instructions on the Troubleshooting page:
https://github.com/ramensoftware/windhawk/wiki/Troubleshooting#some-or-all-windhawk-mods-dont-work

Disable the mod.

Go to the mod’s Advanced tab.

Set Debug logging to Detailed debug logs.

Click on Show log output.

Enable the mod.

Verify that the mod doesn’t work, copy the log and save it to a file.

Set Debug logging back to None.

I’ve been unable to download or browse mods on the windhawk app for a week now.
– i can browse mods on the website on firefox
– when i click to browse mods on the app it sais “loading failed” and to check my internet connection (my internet connection is perfectly fine)
– it sais “unable to verify the first certificate” for mods.windhawk.net
– ive tried reinstalling windhawk, resetting network settings, clearing app data and restarting my laptop.
– i dont have a vpn and dont have any antivirus software apart from windows security.
– my windows is up to date

How do I fix this?

  Seems to be something with your internet settings. You can try Windhawk 2.0 alpha, perhaps it will work:

    I have downloaded it and I have a similar problem again.
    I received a pop up saying
    “something went wrong
    failed to reach
    https://mods.windhawk.net/catalogs/en.json: WinHTTP send request failed (os error 12175)”

      The error is ERROR_WINHTTP_SECURE_FAILURE. There’s some problem with the way certificates are configured on your computer. Check that and the time on your computer which should be correct. Look up for solutions for that error online.

I’ve tried absolutely everything:

Clean uninstall + reinstall
Network reset + restarts
Deleted all Windhawk folders (appdata/programdata/local)
Verified time/date correct
Ran sfc /scannow (found/repaired corrupt files)
Tried both 1.x, alpha 2.0, and alpha 5 builds
Tried regular AND offline installer (170 MB)
Tested on home + school WiFi
No VPN/antivirus interference
Windows fully updated
Still getting ERROR_WINHTTP_SECURE_FAILURE (12175) on https://mods.windhawk.net/catalogs/en.json.

The offline installer didn’t help because it still needs to reach the mods catalog.

This has been ongoing for around 5 days now. Is there a server-side fix coming, or is there a workaround

  SSL is fine:
  https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=mods.windhawk.net&latest
  
  So it’s something on your end.
  
  If Windhawk is unable to access the internet, it can still be used by compiling the mods manually. For instructions, please see this comment: https://github.com/ramensoftware/windhawk/issues/175#issuecomment-2041321538
  
  I’m afraid I can’t help further, you need to troubleshoot your environment.

There’s another issue with the Vertical Taskbar mod:

After my (ultrawide) monitor has been turned off and on again, the start menu appears clipped off to the side, 2/3 of it hidden by the taskbar and by the end of the monitor.

  Please create an issue here:
  https://github.com/ramensoftware/windhawk-mods/issues
  
  Post your mod settings, a screenshot, the exact reproduction steps, and whether it happens with the “Use the native taskbar when possible” option disabled too or not.

Thank you for you software, however I can’t use it, perhaps you can help me in resolving the issue I am having

I have reinstalled the software many times and it does these things

1. It crashes by opening a gray window with nothing in it
2. I have to close it and open it in Safe mode, select the modes etc. then close
3. When I try to open it one more time it crashes with a “-1073741819” error code.

Please advise what should I do.

Thank you
Best regards,

Carlos

  Hi Carlos,
  
  Since it works in safe mode, perhaps one of the mods causes it. Have you tried disabling all mods? Disabling some of them?
