Have you reboot after all the bcdedit command?

[juanrd0088]

Thanks I just rebooted and the mirror works but dokanctl fails. dokan ctl says the error but I think it is because it is working well

Could dokan1.sys be wrong? Seeing a previous answer I copied it from another path (/ release / driver / sys, instead of release / driver) and it doesn't let me delete it now, because it is active I suppose

[Liryna]

Exact, the error is normal at this point. To replace the driver, you need to dokanctl.exe /r d, reboot and then only after you can replace the dokan1.sys file and do a dokanctl.exe /i d again to start the new version.

Note: That's only needed if you want to make changes in driver. Otherwise you are fine to directly use the one from the installer. If you do make changes in the driver, I personally use a VM that I restore to the state where the driver is not installer but the bcdedit commands / reboot are already done and then I only need to copy and install the new driver.

Thank you very much. I'm already using a VM but I'll follow your advice.
