Hi

This seems to be the bane of a number of users. I keep finding posts asking how they do this, only to find follow-on answers which are bizarrely vague and more often than not entirely unhelpful.

If someone could simply put a definitive guide for how this can be done, as of this post's date, that would be much appreciated!

As for my question: why must WMC be run from the \Windows directory? I tried to cut>paste the folder in program files, but it won't run (which isn't unexpected). Since we're working with a patched version of the program on W10, while I hate being an uneducated non-coder, I have to ask why it's apparently so difficult to find a way to make it work from a user-specified non-\Windows directory? I'd think that would solve the FSO problem for the foreseeable future...

Easy doing, bit it did not help me on RDP session.

1. Copy the c:\windows\ehome folder to somewhere else, for example to c:\program files(x86)\ehome or to c:\ehome, or elsewhere. (do not move, copy!)
2. Change the path to ehome.exe in all your desktop/startmenu/... links to ehome.exe in the copied folder.
3. Disabe fullscreen optimisation in these links.

thanks, that solve my problems with juder effect at 4k full screen

The simplistic answer is that WMC was an optional part of Windows and not a standalone program like Office. Therefore, it is tightly integrated into and highly reliant on the Windows subsystems.
