Allow for using the Windhawk UI in Windows Safe Mode #212

Currently, if you try to open the program in Safe Mode, it'll fail outright with an error. It can be annoying to go to the registry to disable the faulty mod or setting, while with the UI working, it could be done from there. Maybe it could have a warning/notice that the service isn't running and the mods won't function?

Which error? It should work and look like this:

Jevil7452 commented 4 months ago

This one. I mean Windows Safe Mode, not Windhawk's built in safe mode. They're different things.

m417z commented 4 months ago

Gotcha, yeah, it's a valid request.

this is easily patched by adding the service to the safemode whitelists in registry

Jevil7452 commented 2 months ago

Wouldn't that make the mods run too? Not ideal if you're trying to troubleshoot and suspect a Windhawk mod to cause your issue

Juesto commented 2 months ago

sure, in that case you could enforce safe mode on startup if it detects the system is booted into windows safe mode then?
