Fix One Commander rendering glitch on Dell/Alienware laptops
Raw
fix-wpf-rendering-issue-on-dell-alienware.md

AlienwareSoundCenter causes rendering issues with WPF programs by injecting NahimicOSD into them.

There are two ways to fix this:

Better way

  1. Run your prefered text editor as Administrator (Notepad, Notepad++, VS Code, or similar)
  2. Open file C:\ProgramData\A-Volute\DellInc.AlienwareSoundCenter\Modules\ScheduledModules\Configurator\BlackApps.dat (you might need to paste the whole path in the Open Dialog because ProgramData is a hidden folder)
  3. Add onecommander.exe at the end of it and save
  4. Restart computer

Worse way

One Commander uses hardware DirectX rendering, so the other way is to go to One Commander Settings > Advanced, and Switch to Software rendering (this will degrade program performance)
