Not Working

[sanigerson]

Hi,
I installed latest dll under windows folder, restart explorer.exe, but nothing happens. Also, %appdata%\ExplorerPatcher folder doesn't seems to be created but if i want to delete dll file under windows folder, windows doesn't let me to do it. Any suggestion?
I deactivated AV, also connected to internet.
Thanks a lot.

Windows OS: 22000.318

I've found windows won't allow you to delete the dll but it will let you move it out of windows folder.

After i rename it, i can delete it. But that's not the problem. After putting it under windows folder, nothing happens.

Hi Valinet,

The problem with the latest version is that it won't even start. It doesn't do anything. It won't download the pack. So I can't even open the console, because nothing happen.

[ZyMet]

I'm on the latest W11 build with an R9 5900X/X570/RX6700XT. I have 10 other PC's with no problems at all with the latest build

Enable the console in old version, then switch to new version. It has to start, okay? Otherwise it would let you delete the file. It starts just fine, that it does not work it’s another thing. With the console you can see how far it goes.

Error with the library

[valinet]

No, it’s actually fine, weirdly enough, that’s the code the library should return when properly injected into Start 😂

Anyway, and it just freezes like that? Can you test this version as well, please? Thanks.

Please answer this questions:

1. Does the latest release work with "Windows 10 taskbar" ENABLED? https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/releases/tag/22000.318.36.1_e02e4ae
2. Does the latest release work with "Windows 10 taskbar" DISABLED? https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/releases/tag/22000.318.36.1_e02e4ae
3. Does this dxgi.zip work with "Windows 10 taskbar" ENABLED?
4. Does this dxgi.zip work with "Windows 10 taskbar" DISABLED?

Test this on the computer where you run these tests:

Build 453af00 works (258.26.3) Build b2ac699 do not work (258.30.0)

Please answer THIS QUESTION. Thanks

Win+X menu is untouched when using Windows 11 taskbar. To get back to the Properties GUI, run this command: rundll32 C:\Windows\dxgi.dll,ZZGUI.

Taking the above into consideration, can you test the latest version with Windows 10 taskbar enabled on the computer where you run these tests:

Build 453af00 works (258.26.3) Build b2ac699 do not work (258.30.0)

And tell me if it works or not, please? Please do that, and answer that question, please. Thanks.

After restarting ExplorerPatch with your command, I enabled Windows10 Taskbar option and everything works ok for now with latest build. I believe main problem is disabling it. Disable windows 10 taskbar, you'll see that explorerpatch won't start anymore.

With the old version, i enabled windows 10 taskbar. Then i applied newest one.
1- YES
2- NO
3- YES
4- NO

I realized that, after DISABLING windows10 taskbar, Win+x Properties menu dissapears.

[valinet]

@ZyMet Great. I will come back with an update to hopefully address the situation when Windows 11 taskbar is enabled as well.

[sanigerson]

@valinet I'm very thankfull to you. Again, thank you for time 🥇

[ZyMet]

@ZyMet Great. I will come back with an update to hopefully address the situation when Windows 11 taskbar is enabled as well.

Great. We now know how to adress the issue. Keep up your great works and thnx again. It's my bedtime now. Cheers.

I was thinking, maybe I could change "Taskbar settings" to open EP Properties. I know how to do that. That is available in the context menus of both Windows 10 and Windows 11 taskbar. Then provide a link in EP to open the Windows taskbar settings in Settings. That way, people get the same behavior no matter which taskbar they use... and optionally still show a "Properties" entry in Win+X for people who got used to that...? Idk...
