Before you begin
Identify your Windows 10 or Windows 11 version and the specific mod or application component you plan to change. Do not assume that a new Windows cumulative update preserves all third-party customization hooks.
Step-by-step
- Open winver and note your build and monthly cumulative update.
- Choose a mod that explicitly lists Windows 11 support.
- Read the current mod version, changelog, and target process.
- Enable only one mod initially, then restart the affected shell component if instructed.
How to verify
Test the target feature, such as the taskbar or Start menu, after re-opening Explorer.
Where to check
For release behavior consult the Windhawk GitHub release notes. For module behavior use the related individual mod listing and source code. This article does not claim hands-on validation on your Windows build.
