PoweShell scripts not working after updating to 5.0.0 (UWP)

[dlackovic2]

Scripts for changing Windows App Theme and Windows System Theme are no longer working after latest update to 5.0.0 (UWP - MS Store version)

It is a documented limitation of these scripts that they don't work in the Microsoft Store app (regardless of v4 or v5, it's because they change registry settings): https://github.com/t1m0thyj/WDD-scripts/tree/master/stable#change-windows-app-theme

Sorry, I wasn't reading documentation because I was using Store app and on version 4.7 or whichever was before, Powershell scripts were working so I wrongly assumed that there is something with latest update.

[t1m0thyj]

Reopening since I thought these scripts didn't work with v4.7, but if they did then it's worth investigating why they broke.

So, I just uninstalled Store app and install regular app via Chocolatey and for me the scripts are still not working. Can I provide you some additional logs or can you check if you are also getting this issue?
Thanks

I can confirm that they were working using Store version. After latest update they broke, and also it seems it broke on regular version as well.

They broke for me too, I've never used the Store version

I think I've fixed this issue in the develop branch, you can download it as an artifact from here to test it. For example, download "exe-x64" and extract it to replace your WinDynamicDesktop.exe:

Still not working for me

[JulienMaille]

I do confirm

[t1m0thyj]

Sorry, could you please try version 5.0.1? I think the error is fixed now so scripts should work again.

[dlackovic2]

5.0.1 fixes scripts 👍
One other thing I found is that enabling night mode doesn't automatically refresh wallpaper and it stays on the current wallpaper so I need to manually refresh wallpaper. I think that before this was done automatically when enabling night mode.

@dlackovic2 Thanks, created a separate issue to track this.

Are the scripts working again in the Microsoft Store app for you? If so perhaps I should remove the warning about them not working there

[dlackovic2]

Switched back to MS Store version and scripts for changing app and system theme are working great so I assume it is safe to remove warning.

I have an issue too. I use the store app and worked fine for changing the theme automatically before updating. this issue happens on both pcs I have.
