The Solution: How the "Fixed" Feature Works
- Why it happens: These programs inject code into Windows system processes to change the look of the taskbar. AoE2:DE’s anti-cheat system sees this code injection and flags it as "tampering."
- The Fix: You must temporarily disable or uninstall the customization software.
- Press
Windows + R, type msconfig, hit Enter.
- Go to the Services tab, check Hide all Microsoft services, then click Disable all.
- Go to Startup tab > Open Task Manager > Disable all startup items.
- Restart your PC. Launch AoE2.
- If it works, slowly re-enable services until you find the culprit (usually Razer, Corsair, or MSI Afterburner).
