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
- Read the target release notes, including supported Windows versions.
- Back up settings and list mod versions before updating.
- Close programs affected by active mods where practical, then perform the update.
- Reboot or restart Explorer if the release instructions request it; re-enable mods gradually.
How to verify
Open Windhawk and check active mod status and the target Windows features after the upgrade.
Where to check
