Sorry, I didn't fully catch your meaning, I'm using EP since Win11 upgrade from Win 10 to be able to correctly use OpenShell, that, at that time, didn't work with Win 11 and I don't like at all the messed up Win10 and 11 start menu... Another toolbar app I use is T-Clock redux, that does not work with Win11, nothing else. That's it. I never heard about SwitchExplorer, I will better check about it, thanks for your info.
SwitchExplorer is just a little tool I wrote to switch the default Explorer to the Windows 10 version on Windows 11. Once you're made the switch, you can use OldNewExplorer, but if you also want classic Start menu options, than I'm pretty sure you'd need to stick with EP + Open Shell (or StartAllBack).
If the green progress bar in the address bar of File Explorer is taking a long time when you open a new File Explorer window, then IMO you should first try to troubleshoot the Search Index. Reset and Rebuild Search Index in Windows 11 Tutorial
Very interesting, great job. Can your utility coexist with EP or the risk is messing up the whole system ? My question is related on how Win11 File Explorer shows folders content, since my wife need to have some thumbnails showed, so she doesn't want to switch to Win11 and prefers to stay stuck on Win10 + Open Shell start menu instead.
The visual appearance/style of these folder thumbnails in File Explorer has got nothing to do with the File Explorer itself. It is determined by the protected file:
C:\Windows\SystemResources\imageres.dll.muncd $Env:windir\SystemResources
takeown /F .
takeown /F imageres.dll.mun
ren imageres.dll.mun imageres.dll.mun.backup
del imageres.dll.mun
copy $Env:UserProfile\Desktop\imageres.dll.mun
takeown /F imageres.dll.mun
icacls imageres.dll.mun /inheritance:d
icacls imageres.dll.mun /setowner "NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller"
icacls . /setowner "NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller"
This problem has resurfaced for me when using the Windows 10 style Start Menu. Clicking my Profile icon doesn't bring up the option to sign out/switch accounts. Works fine if I set EP to use Win11 Start Menu. Have uninstalled, rebooted, run sfc /scannow to be safe, and reinstall EP official release 22621.2861.62.2 and done an in-place upgrade and still doesn't work. It was ok for good long while and I was able to rectify it by doing in-place upgrade....anyone else having issues?
Exactly which patch? Mine seems ok....just can't access the account switcher/sign-out flyaway menu
As far as I can tell, nothing would break having both installed, but it would be redundant. If you run into the issue of the Windows 10 Explorer not remembering its window size and position with EP, then I think it would be best to use the batch file I posted in #426729 rather than SwitchExplorer.
I agree with ur statements concerning Switch Explorer... I have CustomizeGod and I will check with my PC first. BTW, solving problems for both wife and daughter PCs is definitely not simple... complaints are usual, so... it's better to be careful
I confirm that taskbar on my system 22631.3296 is invisible. ExplorerPatcher attempted to download new symbol tables, but it was only partially successful. I think tomorrow downloads will be finished, which may fix this "issue".
Running EP version 22621.3007.63.4 on Windows 11 version 23H2 build 22631.3296 after the new symbols failed to download. The Logoff feature of the Windows 10 Start Menu still works for me (I also verified that it actually logs off when clicked).
Thanks for confirming that it seems to be just me. I wonder how I can fix it on my system. I've tried reset to default, uninstall, reboot and been even running sfc /scannow and finding no problems....
