New Version of ExplorerPatcher


Please read my post here:

MS has flagged Explorer-Patcher as malware

Windows Defender and most other AV tools now report ep-setup.exe as malware (MS seems to have told all the AV vendors to block it). This is really unacceptable - it's not damaging anything. Anyone got any means of contacting the MS Defender folks and get them to back off from this position. David

So I am not so sure MS is doing this on purpose!
But if you manage to use Windows 11 without tweaking apps and are satisfied with it: that's your choice! ;-)

Yeah, always prefer official download sites that you can trust. Major Geek and the like are your last resort if the official site doesn't work or you cannot find it. Also avoid sites that offer to install a download utility "for your convenience" and don't offer a direct link to the file.

Right now. It detects a virus, I know it's not, but I can't fight with them anymore (Microsoft).

I don't know how to do this, powershell is not for me. I manage with the command line, but I know absolutely nothing with powershell

Why do you need PowerShell for? Just download ep-setup.exe and run it by double-click. If you scroll down on the GitHub site (see link in my earlier post) you see Assets. Expand Assets to see ep-setup.exe or just click on the link I provided to download it directly. If you want to execute the code in PowerShell to exclude Explorer Patcher so you don't get a false positive, search for PowerShell. Then right-click on the result at the left of the search window and select Run as Administrator to open PowerShell with Administrator access rights. Then copy-paste the code from GitHub and press ENTER to execute.

So the same as in Command Line, and I wasted time googling PowerShell, found several tutorials that were so complicated that I finally gave up. I didn't even want to listen to myself and try exactly what you wrote and what I was already doing but in CL, anyway thanks for the info.

Powershell can do a lot that command prompt can’t, but for simple copy/paste/execute of commands, it’s the same process.

Just run this command from an elevated command prompt:
Code: 
powershell -ep bypass -c if([Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent().Groups -contains 'S-1-5-32-544'){Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath @('%ProgramFiles%\ExplorerPatcher','%AppData%\ExplorerPatcher','%WinDir%\dxgi.dll','%WinDir%\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy','%WinDir%\SystemApps\ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy','%UserProfile%\Downloads\ep_setup.exe') -force;(Get-MpPreference).ExclusionPath}else{'Please run with Administrator privileges.'}
(Substitute %UserProfile%\Downloads\ep_setup.exe with the absolute filepath of where you plan to let your browser download the file ep_setup.exe from GitHub.)

This is what I put in the Defender exceptions to get explorer patcher to install.

%APPDATA%\ExplorerPatcher
C:\Program Files\ExplorerPatcher

Someone posted this. I think I got it from a link posted in this thread. Worked perfectly

It didn't work for me. For one, it causes the file ep_setup.exe to be quarantined immediately when I try to use my browser to download it from GitHub. Secondly, after I add an exclusion for %UserProfile%\Downloads\ep_setup.exe, when I try to run the file it causes the file dxgi.dll to be quarantined, so...

I have tried everything suggested above and nothing helps, the EP is immediately quarantined. I don't know what to do, it looks like Microsoft won against EP.

1. Go to Windows Security ➜ Virus & threat protection ➜ Protection history.

2. Click on the threat that appears to match the quarantined item in question, and confirm the UAC prompt. Look at the path that appears under "Affected items:", then verify that this path belongs to EP. If multiple items were quarantined, then repeat this step for each one. Please post a complete list of these paths.

This seems to indicate that you did not properly run the command that I earlier posted. You should run it from an elevated command prompt. The command should output a list of the exclusion paths, and, C:\Users\myname\Downloads\ep_setup.exe should be on this list, as that in fact is what will prevent Windows Security from scanning the file ep_setup.exe in your Downloads folder. (On the command line, the environment variable %UserProfile% gets expanded to C:\Users\myname so,
%UserProfile%\Downloads\ep_setup.exe on the command line is equivalent to
C:\Users\myname\Downloads\ep_setup.exe.)
