Update an individual Windhawk mod

Update a mod only after reading its changelog and current compatibility notes.

Quick answer

Update a mod only after reading its changelog and current compatibility notes.

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

  1. Record the existing mod version and custom settings.
  2. Open its Windhawk details page and check for the latest available mod version.
  3. Read known regressions in the version notes or issue tracker.
  4. Update and test the target feature before changing another mod.

How to verify

Check that the new mod version loads and preserves expected settings.

Important limitation: Core Windhawk upgrades and individual mod updates are separate operations.

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.
