    Hey guys! What's up?

    I'm getting this error when I try to open WaveShell

    upload_2021-10-19_18-35-53.png

    My PC: Windows 8.1 x64
    My DAW: Fl Studio 20 x64

    I downloaded and installed it correctly through Waves Central. My DAW (FL Studio) scanned everything fine but when I open the WaveShell.vst3/.dll (for some reason I only get this file, I don't have every effect separated) I'm getting this error.

    I already download all the latest updates for my computer (C++, vcredist, etc).. I don't really know where is this came from.

    I hope someone have the solution for this.

    Thank you so much

    The version of Waves you installed requires Windows 10 or 11. "SetThreadDpiAwarenessContext" is not available in Windows 8.1.
