    Completely lost the ability to run Winaero Tweaker


    Windows 10 Pro x64 2004 VPS

    Ran Winaero Tweaker 0.18.0.0 (latest version) without issue in the past. However, cannot remember exactly when the last time was I ran it successfully.

    Click Start Menu, directly run .exe, run from command prompt, doesn't matter. It won't start. It does nothing. Creates no event log. No clue what's wrong, where to look, or what to troubleshoot.

    Something is obviously different but I've no idea what.

    There doesn't appear to be any support for Winaero Tweaker. So I can't contact anybody.

    I have no problems like this on Windows 7. So far Windows 10 has been a complete nightmare for me. I've spent hours on this so far and no solution.

    Google searching seems to indicate that this isn't something that has happened to anyone.

    I guess I have to consider this VPS a bust, because it is possible for programs to just suddenly stop working, with no error messages or event logs, leaving me in the complete dark.

    I can do x64dbg log but what I really need is a log from before on this VPS, when it worked. Do I have to make x64dbg logs for every program installed on this VPS now?

    x64dbg log, Win10 VPS, will not start
    Initializing wait objects...Initializing debugger...Initializing debugger fu - Pastebin.com

    x64dbg log, Win Server 2008 R2 SP1 VPS, starts normally
    Successfully loaded C:\Program Files\x64dbg\x64\GleeBug\TitanEngine.dll!Initia - Pastebin.com

    The thread exits at the end are normal... it appears to "re-launch" itself somehow, I guess to prevent loading into a debugger.

    :)

    Winaero Tweaker is supposed to allow a user to adjust things like the font used for desktop icon labels. But the download is a ZIP file. How do you extract the executable software from the ZIP file?

    Hi Jim

    Right click that zip file and choose 'Extract All'

    Then you will see the installer file, double click that to install Winaero Tweaker- WinaeroTweaker-0.16.1.0-setup.exe
