We have the same version of Win11, so if it's not the OS, there must be a setting in some software. Have you tried the recommended settings in Defender: Please include the following files and folders in your antivirus' exclusion list to prevent issues due to antivirus detections: C:\Program...

Is your version 24H2, Build 26100.3194?

Your properties dialog shows a line saying Win10 taskbar is unavailable for this version of Windows which I’m not seeing. I just installed 24H2 on a 2d pc (laptop in this case). Windows paused the update until I uninstalled EP. Once I did that, the update completed. I then downloaded and ran EP...

I see from your screenshot that Taskbars is missing from the top of the dialog when you right click on the taskbar. If you then click on Properties, is it also missing from the Properties dialog? If it's not there, it seems there has to be something on your system that's blocking it. I'm also...

Really minor is in the eye of the beholder. I use and love Explorer Patcher because it allows me to have a vertical taskbar left of screen. (I have my own quirky preferences--I also configure keyboards to put Ctrl to the left of A and Alt left of the Win key.) I have 4 PCs in current use: 2 on...

Thanks for the reply. You're correct--updating to EP 65.5 solved the problems, All seems to be well now.

After Win11 updates to 22631.3880, some glitches are showing up on EP 22621.3527.65.1 with Win10 taskbar. Win + X no longer works for me (it produces no result). Win + Tab is also broken. It appears the developer is on the case and these issues will be fixed in a future EP release.

Some users have reported glitches and incompatibilities with EP, but it's worked very well for me.

ExplorerPatcher brings back assorted features that MS in its wisdom chose to drop from Win 11. It allows choosing between Win10 and Win11 Start Menu and Task Bar. What I love is that it lets me put the task bar where I want it: vertical task bar on the left side of the screen. All who use it...

Ditto. The invisible task bar was a challenge for my aging eyes when it showed up today, but the pre-release version does the trick.

Explorer Patcher is freeware that's still working and allows moving the taskbar where you want as well as reverting to a Windows 10 taskbar. (I have the Win10 task bar vertical on the left.) Download at: Home Will it work forever? Maybe not because MS may remove functionality on which it...

That's not normal. Try two things: (1) Update and restart Explorer Patcher (since right click on task bar isn't working, go via the Start Menu). (2) Set the Task Bar to Windows10 in Explorer Patcher (if it isn't already). Some users have reported a problem when their taskbar is set to Win11...

My understanding is that EP relies entirely on legacy code still buried somewhere in the operating system. Is MS inserting new code to block access, or removing the old code entirely? If it's the former, EP may be able to find a workaround. But if the code is removed, we might be out of luck.

The version of wlsetup I have may well be corrupt, but I decided to give it another try. Previously, I had used the default setting (install everything,) but since I only want Movie Maker, I selected only that (it's in a bundle with Photo Gallery). I got the same install error. But, oddly...

The online installer I used is named wlsetup.exe. If there's a chance your offline installer would work better, I'd love to try it.
