Thanks for the report. From the title, this looks like the same Windows raw-key extraction gap already tracked in #8: wechat-cli can scan the running WeChat/Weixin processes, but for some 4.x Windows builds it still cannot find a usable raw key for the session/message databases.

The useful new signal here is the version: 4.1.8.107. To keep this actionable, could you add the non-sensitive details below?

• Whether this is the legacy WeChat client or the newer Weixin client.
• wechat-cli --version.
• The relevant redacted output from wechat-cli status --pretty and wechat-cli cache refresh --force --pretty.
• Whether fully quitting WeChat/Weixin, logging in again, opening a recent chat, and rerunning cache refresh --force --pretty changes the no usable Windows WeChat raw keys found result.

Please do not paste raw keys, database files, chat contents, wxids, or local user paths. If the output matches #8, we can keep the implementation work tracked there and use this issue as an extra affected-version report.

Thanks for following up. It looks like the details did not make it into the GitHub comment: I only see the opening line, "Thanks for the follow-up. Here are the details you requested:".

Could you resend the non-sensitive details when you have a moment?

• Whether this is the legacy WeChat client or the newer Weixin client.
• wechat-cli --version.
• Redacted output from wechat-cli status --pretty and wechat-cli cache refresh --force --pretty.
• Whether fully quitting WeChat/Weixin, logging in again, opening a recent chat, and rerunning cache refresh --force --pretty changes the no usable Windows WeChat raw keys found result.

Please keep raw keys, database files, chat contents, wxids, and local user paths out of the comment.
