Sad news for the future of Explorer Patcher - I guess this will mean the end.

On the other hand we will get native...
Yes, actually WIN+W (widgets) as well (if one is into such stuff)...
I am looking at the source code myself but I bet Valinet will beat me with a solution.
I am totally on Valinet's side. The program description says loud and clear in several places that it is aimed only for the main releases and if it works for an optional D-release in between patch Tuesdays - consider it as a lucky bonus. Valinet could have waited until March 14th (next patch...
Calendar App version 16005.14326.21344 is now also broken in the "main" track, 22621.1344.
Neither repair or reset works.
In the Event Viewer you see:
Faulting application name: HxCalendarAppImm.exe, version: 16.0.14326.21344, time stamp: 0x63ed45a6
Faulting module name: Windows.UI.Xaml.dll...
As long as you can cope with the Win11 start menu, EP still works well for the taskbar (which is the most important if you ask me).
OBS I am talking about the EP preview version, 22621.819.52.2. That is the one to use.

As you say - up until before version 22621.1105 the Win10 Start menu could be repaired by executing:
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
Not anymore so I am trying to accept using the native Win11 Start menu...
I don't think you should consider to use Exporer Patcher for all future. The developer (Valinet) has said several times by now "this is it". I am just happy every time it passes another patch Tuesday and EP is still usable.
If you know approximately how EP works and especially if you also have...
Sure. I just put it at My homepage packed in a zip-file. The version is 22621.819.52.5 which I set myself to differ it from the official program.
I myself wouldn't use exe-files from someone I don't know but use it if you like. I guarantee it doesn't contain anything else apart from Valinet's...
