Hello, been having an issue where I cannot open the application on Windows 11, and its been happening for a month. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, tried outdated installers (which closes the app after the auto-update). I've shut off all anti-virus, white listed both installers and the actual app, and I've run it in Administrative access, but it gets the cursor circle and then nothing. No movement in task manager or Event Viewer to suggest it ever started. Works on my laptop, but not my main system. Please help

I tried all those steps, and it blips on the screen and then goes away without actually running. It doesn't ask me to install, but it does unpack some files into Local but does not run

Which AV do you use

Malwarebytes

Whitelist these and check your quarantine for anything related or flagged with wemod.

  • Update.exe, located in C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\AppData\Local\WeMod
  • WeMod.exe, located in C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\AppData\Local\WeMod
  • WeModAuxiliaryService.exe, located in C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\AppData\Local\WeMod\app-VERSION_NUMBER\resources\app.asar.unpacked\static\unpacked\auxiliary

I was just about to respond that all of those have already been white listed, and there are no files in Quarantine, and I have it ask me before dealing with any files in Quarantine

#

besides AV, are there any known applications that conflict with WeMod?

Given the steps you've already taken, I recommend removing wemod completely and running the System File Checker (SFC) to check for any corrupted system files that might be causing this problem.

Please follow these steps:

  1. Press Windows key + X and select Command Prompt (Admin) to open an elevated Command Prompt.
  2. In the Command Prompt, type sfc /scannow and press Enter.
  3. Restart your computer once the scan is complete.

If the SFC scan does not find any corrupted system files, please try the following steps:

  1. Open Command Prompt as an administrator by pressing Windows key + X and selecting Command Prompt (Admin).

  2. In the Command Prompt, type the following commands one by one, pressing Enter after each command:

    • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
    • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

  3. Close the Command Prompt, restart your computer, and check if the application works.

sadly, no effect

So far none of this is working, so, once I have a moment this week, I'll clean install Windows again

Clean install worked, but now concerned with not knowing what caused the issue
