I rec'd notice that the subject Windhawk mod has been updated. Has this issue been addressed?

As mentioned, it has done this since Since KB5074109 (2026-01 Security Update). But I didn't ID it as the culprit until now...

Since KB5074109, I've been having troubles with File Explorer. Specifically: ■ When I right click on the taskbar, nothing happens (nothing at all -- no context menu). ■ Explorer Patcher would not give me a Quick Launch Toolbar If I killed and restarted the File Explorer process, things would...

There are many things that Microsoft has broken that have been restored with Explorer Patcher or Windhawk. I guess my question is -- has a work-around been developed? I use Windows for work, and this is really hampering my ability to be effective in my job.

In case you're wondering why I'm doing this, I use it to create playlists. Having a party -- I ask what kind of music they'd like to hear. * R&B Hits from the 70's * Pop Rock from 1966 -- but skip the overplayed Top 10 stuff * Classic Country * Folk Rock from the late 60's & early 70's Using...

I can edit them and the edit saves -- my issue is that I want to be consistent in *how* they're edited. In Windows 10, when I started to enter data, I would get a drop-down menu of previous similar data. I could pick the one I wanted -- not just randomly enter something and hope I did it like...

Here is what the File Explorer view of my mp3's looks like. By filling in the meta-data, I can quickly sort by song title, year, composer, genre, rating, etc. For proper sorts, it is critical that the meta-data is consistent...

Not understanding. I want to see what is on the attachment when I go to File Explorer > Properties > Details Windows 10 did that -- would tell me what my previously established options were. Windows 11 won't do that -- I am making errors by incorrectly entering non-consistent data.

I used Windows 10 File Explorer to enter genres for my 17,000 mp3 files (meta-data). Windows 10 remembered previously used genres, from which I could select. This was very convenient - it reduced my data entry and ensured consistency. Windows 11 fails to do this. AI said to make sure the files...

That worked! * * * THANK YOU * * *

I frequently use an on-line converter to modify mp3 files. After my recent conversion to Win 11, I get a pop-up every time I try to do anything to those files. Apparently they have been flagged as internet downloads and MS wants to confirm the action requested. From what I could determine, I...

Will try that -- thanks for your help!

Last time I used Explorer Patcher I had to jump a thousand hoops and Win 11 still hated it. If you're planning to make revisions to bring back the classic taskbar context menu, I would prefer to wait for that. Thanks for all you do --- Microsoft is *not* helpful and their penchant for constant...

Classic Theme Explorer Lite is the culprit with the blank window clicking on the desktop. If you look at the last screen shot you can see the notifications box in the lower right corner. Not doing that now -- everything else seems to be working, including peek. If I click on the taskbar I get my...

Still nothing when I click on the taskbar, but clicking on the desktop gives the pop-up shown in the attached. The sliver on the far right to get the desktop no longer works -- is there a mod that brings back the desktop icon?
