Windows 10 Taskbar does work on version 26100.1 #3187

No reason to remove Windows 10 taskbar on new builds.

Microsoft is removing windows 10 taskbar, not EP.

Please close this as EP can't fix this once windows 10 taskbar is completely removed.

The taskbar was not removed.

EP can fix this by patching system files to restore the taskbar

Do you know the news that EP and SAB are both blocked on 26100+? I've got confirmations that it's because of them fighting the DisableWin10Taskbar feature flag. So I've removed it in hopes of MS lifting the block.

EP will never patch existing system files on disk. I've tried swapping explorer.exe with the one from 22621, it didn't work. Also tried swapping explorer.exe with the one from 19045, it was pretty buggy.

The reimplemented taskbar will come one day, just not this month or next month, it will be released once it no longer uses code from the 10 taskbar in explorer.exe.

Well for now the Windows 10 taskbar should be kept as it works on 26100

Microsoft will never remove the block as EP changes the start menu to remove the ad fulled Windows 11 start menu. Best thing to do is change the exe name of ExplorerPatcher files and it will get pass the checks.

I wouldn't say a taskbar without system tray a working taskbar.

If I change the exe name but keep the DisableWin10Taskbar bypass, this will be a cat and mouse game between PCA list admins at Microsoft and us.
