[Shout out to a discord user: UnderToons for finding out the first solution]


FOLLOW EVERY SINGLE STEP


1. Press win+R.

2. Type msconfig.exe.

3. Click on "Services".

4. Checkmark "Hide all microsoft services".

5. Click on "Disable all".

6. Restart your computer.

7. Play any austiblox game to see if it works (which will most likely going to do).

8. If it works then congratulations, you did it!


Note: After all you can enable all services (especially the ones that are for your drivers), however you are most likely going to have the same issue again so you need to find which service or a software is responsible for it. In my case for this whole time it was a software called Windhawk that mods your whole system environment (this software is used non stop on custom ISOs that are trying to imitate a look of a diffrent operating system such as Reunion7, Relive7, Windows eXPerience, etc. and on transformation packs like Revert8plus or Winddows 10 (21H2, 21H2) to 7 Transformation Pack, etc. With that being said your most likely using this software if you are on some custom ISO that is a Windows (version) look alike or if you are using transformation packs (specifiicly the ones that I have mentioned).


Im giving an extra solution for the people who are using windhawk:

1. Click on an app called Windhawk.

2. Go to the "Settings".

3. Click on "Advanced".

4. Click on "More advanced".

5. Type the following phrases horizontally in "Process exclusion list":

AustibloxLauncher.exe
AustibloxUpdater.exe
boost.dll
castle.dll
2010.exe
2011.exe
2012.exe
2013.exe
2014.exe
2015.exe

6. Click on "Save and restart Windhawk".

7. Restart your PC.

8. Play any austiblox game to see if it works (it mostly likely will).

9. And you are done!


Another thing for windhawk users: If you are not able to find Windhawk then simply reinstall it from the Windhawk's official website - Windhawk.net or from the official windhawk's github page - https://github.com/ramensoftware/windhawk (these are the ONLY sources that you should download from). Install it in a diffrent location (eg. C:\Program Files\Windhawk) and do the solution for windhawk users.
