Can't get electron-wallpaper to attach on my machine

Attempting to attach a window from the main process results in this error if I don't wait for the ready-to-show event:

If I do wait for ready-to-show, it just appears as its own window, not attached to the wallpaper.

After encountering this problem I cloned the repository and ran the example script. Even the example script just opens as a separate transparent window, not attached.

OS: Windows 10.17134.254
Node: 10.10.0

Please let me know the status on this as soon as you can. I can provide any further details about my system that might be helpful for debugging, just let me know.

on my computer, the example script runs well!
maybe before you run npm run example ,
you should run npm run configure , npm run build and npm run rebuild-electron

but i can't pack application with it ; it didn't work in the release package, though it works well in development
