"Error: (0x80004002) No such interface supported" after updating Windows 11 (Beta insider channel) about vd.ahk HOT 13 OPEN

Yeah, I figured I could live with a few bugs in the beta program but didn't expect it would break something so crucial to my workflow!

from vd.ahk.

Broken here too. Since this update will be live for standard users of Windows 11 soon, I'd love to have it fixed.

I'm using:

Updating another machine revealed that I was guessing the version numbers wrong. So I gave in and forked it. https://github.com/Viqsi/VD.ah2

from vd.ahk.

Thanks @Viqsi! :) I've applied the update to _VD.ahk, basically the same diff but without the new splitByDot calculation and revNumber and it works: https://gist.github.com/JanChec/a555a42c949ff5f6b78e92362143a9d2

from vd.ahk.

I'm afraid I'm seeing the same issue: the latest update broke it 🤦
Regretting being on the Beta program so much right now 🤣

from vd.ahk.

I imagine this explains why the window moving feature doesn't work anymore.

from vd.ahk.

Looks like VirtualDesktop.cs has been updated, and VirtualDesktop11-23H2.cs should work, see VirtualDesktop/issues/67. I'm not sure how to do this, though, can you point me in the right direction and I can try to do a PR to test this

from vd.ahk.

This is as far as I got. Providing as a diff rather than a pull request because I'm not really prepared to go further (and I never actually forked the repo):

My usage of VD.ahk is limited to exactly four methods: getNameFromDesktopNum, goToDesktopNum, MoveWindowToDesktopNum, and getCurrentDesktopNum. This works for those methods. I have absolutely no idea if any of the others work or not with this change and have no reasonable means of testing. But maybe it'll help.

Basically I started with "it looks like they changed a lot of the function params back to the way they had them in Win10" (based on staring very very hard at that VirtualDesktop.cs project code) and started trial-and-error switching to those instead.

Seems to be working for me (Win11 10.0.22631), super appreciate the efforts!

It's not just the build number, it's the build revision as well; that's what makes this so annoying. 10.0.22631.2134 and earlier revisions are fine with the Old Ways, but 10.0.22631.2283 is not. I suspect the change happened with the preview release 10.0.22631.2215 (and that's what I checked for in the fork), but don't have actual confirmation of that as I don't do preview releases.

from vd.ahk.

Hmm, I did just see an update (in the Release Preview channel), so hopefully that doesn't complicate things. At any rate, I am on 10.22631.2361 now, and I believe VD stopped working for me on 10.0.22631.2050.

from vd.ahk.

Just a heads up to the others in this thread that the GUID for the COM has also changed with this months release. Fix in this PR #62

from vd.ahk.

So far as I can tell this was resolved with 02f37bf. (The referenced commit above presumably fixed it for the AHKv1 version; this one fixes it for the v2 version). At least, I tested it and it Works For Me on build 22631.3155, so I've closed the PR from my fork and will be doing a pull shortly (read: as soon as I get around to it, if I get around to it ;) ).
