Hyperspin stops working on Windows 11 Home/Pro (version 24H2) after update

[Creezz67]

UPDATE ....

I have just installed Windows 11 HOME EDITION onto a new SSD  (version 24H2) and all was ok, UNTIL a security update  November 21, 2024—KB5046740 (OS Build 26100.2454) Preview stopped Hyperspin from working.

It's now safe to say that if you want Hyperspin to continue working .... DO NOT update to Windows 11 (version 242H)

@%$#%#^.  I JUST installed 11 tonight.  I can't get Hyper to run at all, or HyperHQ.  The old sxs dll does nothing either, I'm guessing there's no workaround for this at all?  I am definitely reverting to 10 if that's the case.

@pavlovtiger, check if you can restore to windows 11 23h2.

[pavlovtiger]

Assuming I can do this (given it's a brand new SSD I'd have to do a clean install of 23h2, which is fine,) won't the built-in update stuff simply undo it and go back to 24h2?  Or can I actually stay on the 23 version?

All Windows 11 users on this forum should immediately disable all update services and wait for notification of a fix.

If you are able, clone your boot drive to preserve your compatible Windows 11 version.

Hopefully it fixes itself after version 24H2

@pavlovtiger, I had no luck reverting back from 24h2 to 23h2.  The option to remove 24h2 was not available.  Also, my Windows 11 recovery was disabled automatically after updating to windows 11.  I had to restore back to Windows 10.  I just backed up my files before restoring back to Windows 10.

Meu Hyperspin também parou de abrir após 24H2

THis is nuts.... Bill can eat a bag of dicks.... I bet he blacklisted the program from running its signature.

Bills already off the deep end, it's more like Satya Nadella and his f*ckin minions can eat a bag of dicks. I hate em all. Him and his diversity and inclusion BS. (insert long story here)

Anyway, Here is a page of confirmed issues with 24H2, The list on the page looks to be actively maintained as issues are reported to MS. Item 1 on the list looks relevant to me as it relates to issues with games launching. I would monitor this for status updates on a resolution to item 1.

I havent done a hyperspin build in decades and got a new mini PC for my dedicated cabinet, but funny enough had everything booting with the DLL on windows 11.  Then overnight my PC shuts off and reboots and I google a bit and remove other stuff I installed.  Come to find out this system update kills it for sure.  After uninstalling the version mentioned in this thread things worked fine.

Why cant the authors of Hyperspin just open source it at this point now that its been.  There are so many systems built with it who publish complete builds and its been 6 years since 1.5.1 release?  Someone should just decompile it like they do with Mario 64 and hard fork it.

Any progress on this at all? My system is still jammed up....

Add me to the list. After Win 11 Home updating to 24H2 Hyperspin, HyperHQ etc no longer launch. 

I'm assuming the worst here when I say there is no fix?

Again, it seems to work on virtualbox. I dont' have a spare hard disk to do the test on a real machine, can someone try a thing?

Install windows 11 home 24h2, switch to pro with an activator or a cheap serial, try if the thing works.

Que lamentable está situación, por suerte yo uso Windows 10, pero si estaría genial que se pudiera liberar el codigo de Hyperspin, así se podría mejorar y que vuelva a ser el mejor front end. Por mi parte no he querido cambiarme a otro front end ya que desde el 2011 que vengo creando mi Hyperspin, creando muchos temas y medias ñ, configuraciones, etc, ni loco pienso perder tantos años de trabajo duro jsjsj.
