It's flattering indeed, although I'd appreciate if they'd quote program options correctly. Once and for all, as it is already stated in the Properties window: you have to register ExplorerPatcher as a shell extension, which I do not really recommend and do not test extensively for, ONLY IF you...

The app modifies the Start layout only once, when the value registry value containing this setting changes. This is done to optimize CPU usage, with the belief the layout has to be changed only once and then it would be left in place. Apparently, newer versions of the Start menu change it back...

Released new version: 22621.1413.54.1 Windows 10 taskbar: Fixed a bug that made the following functionalities have issues or stop working: Task View button, Win-Tab, Alt-Tab after pressing Win-Tab, flyouts alignment, notification center alignment, Win key shortcuts (thanks @CthRio for the heads...

StartAllBack is worth $5 regardless of whether I fix ExplorerPatcher or not. The value is in there nevertheless. To get ExplorerPatcher updated, someone in this Universe has to figure out what to write in the update, so as to fix things, and also have the time to do so. Just saying...

Yeah, it’s not any magic internal ID… Programs consist of subroutines, pieces of instructions grouped together that do “something”. In our case, we are interested in “startdocked::LauncherFrame::OnVisibilityChanged”, which is the subroutine that is executed when the Windows 11 Start menu is...

Nah, it is fine, you did not sound rude, I never said that, don’t worry and sorry if it sounded like I implied that, not my intention. I just wanted to make it clear that I am aware of it, and generally do not ignore or disregard stuff, but rather that I may not have a comment on something at...

Yeah, I saw that on my test VM as well. Has to be investigated, something changed… Thanks, I know about this bug, it has been mentioned here a couple of times already. The Windows 10 Start menu is Microsoft’s implementation, as it still ships buried in Windows 11’s system files. As such, I am...

You seem to continue coming up with totally nonsensical replies. I am getting tired of this pos attitude, the entitlement you show and so on... I'd advise to stop posting if you are to continue with this garbage, not only is it not bringing anything useful to the discussion, but it also pollutes...

False. SWS is hosted in a separate repo. If built separately, it can be injected in explorer as is. To have it work, hook RegisterHotkey and make sure to deny explorer’s request for Alt-Tab and register sws’ request instead or first. The same method can be used to have Windows 7’s Alt-Tab...

I don't usually handle things like this, but right now I don't know if the 'fix' really is the proper fix, so looking forward to hear some feedback. So, is anyone willing to test this version of ExplorerPatcher on the 22621.963 OS build (KB5021255) which some people experienced crashes on...

The fix from StartAllBack has to be ported over to ExplorerPatcher… thanks for pointing out the versions. Does anyone have version 3.5.6 and the version immediately before that? Thanks.

Fallback language is still "en-US", maybe it also checks that, idk. Whatever, this bug is long known I think, I wish we had a fix. I think it happened on Windows 10 as well at some point.

Yeah, it's not really an EP problem. The legacy Windows shell seems to have a bug where it randomly adds a keyboard layout corresponding to the system default language if you remove it from the list. It think that, because you installed the system in "en-US", for example, you must always want to...

I use that build in a VM. Works fine for the tests I do. When upgrading Windows, it may decide, sometimes, to mess with files in the system folders, files placed by other applications. To manipulate Start, flyouts and so on, ExplorerPatcher places some files in these locations in order to have...

Latest pre-release (22621.819.52.1) includes such an option under ExplorerPatcher Properties - Advanced - Do not change the taskbar context menu (setting is stored at `HKCU\Software\ExplorerPatcher\NoPropertiesInContextMenu` dword). Was about to reference the entries. They are located in...
