I have some questions.

1. DWM Hack

First, Glass8 found in the next link, but DWM hack did not find it. What should I do?

• https://arukateru.com/glass8/

2. Windows Version

I am using 22H2.
Here is a Windows10 release informations

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/release-health/release-information

Is there an impact on using aero glass?
If so, should I use Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019?
It seems possible to download it.

@Ten2O May I ask how you got Photon UI to accept an Aero theme? I'm using aero10 from DeviantArt with SecureUXTheme and DWMBlurGlass, but Aero effects are not applied onto the titlebar unless I go in and separate the tab bar and title bar.

How it looks without separate titlebar activated:
