Fixes? If you install something else rename bundled _ddraw.dll (and _dinput.dll probable too). you can keep DXCFG exe and ini/dixi.ini files. This is already bundled wrapper fixer by GOG
If I is about clear GOG/GOG Galaxy - it is strick security issue. I don't think it is DEP service (useless/always broken since WinXP) not even that one. More to just AV.
Game clients also must be excluded from AV and enabled adminrun.
But first mud he reinstalled to
D/Games/GOG/Galaxy and games strickly to
X/Games/
no system drive, no drive root, no non-latin symbols or anything, no spaces but "-" (minus) instead.
Make ADMINRUN for first launch of Galaxy, any launched with configuration, next time relaunch Galaxy in admin when you about to install/update/verify any game.
You no need to add ADMINRUN to game exe if you use Galaxy. Just restart Galaxy in admin.
Verify game installation after downloading!
Next launch the game, while Galaxy still in admin mode. Up to main menu. Then relaunch Galaxy without admin. Now game should be OK without adminrun. Before game launchband configure ingame pre-launch configurator there is DXCFG.exe in game folder. Run it always in Admin and configure there too.
Usually that's enough (X/games/ path on non-system drive for all games and gaming client) for standard Microsoft AV.
Still better ENTIRELY disable DEP service by some CMD command. Google it "dep nx bcedit" for correct command argument. There is a chance it don't like GOGs wrappers two dll and DXCFG exe.
