Thank you for this amazing app, kindly note I am on Dev build 22563
Okay, so I checked it out. It's because when the Windows 10 Start menu is enabled, I redirect explorer.exe
to using a legacy version of AppResolver.dll
which is needed so that pinning stuff from File Explorer windows works for the Start menu.
There's no easy fix. It's why I am against using old versions of libraries, stuff like this can happen. The correct fix is to see whether the AppResolver.dll
shipped with the respective OS build still offers the code path for when the old Start menu is used and attempt to activate that.
Yeah, a fix will come at some point, probably.
So, you are saying that you are not able to get the apps to be shown in the taskbar? It only seems to be not working for UWP apps, the other apps are showing correctly though.
Does this effect stable build too?
Also note that the Mail App, UWP apps do show in the startmenu just not in the taskbar, Word, Edge, Office all show in the taskbar
Stable build is fine, that's where I test EP. I would have noticed this.
More details about AppResolver.dll

I would like to point out that right after installing the patches, the taskbar is in windows 10 mode but the startmenu is the 11 one.
Also in Windows 11 taskbar mode it also not show the icons.
Is there a way to use the Windows 10 Startmenu but keep the windows 11 taskbar with icons present?
I explained above what happens. As I said, I will fix it at some point. Use an older build, before support for pinning from Explorer was added. The thing is pre-release, regressions may happen and I can't fix them instantaneously.
Ah, I see, thanks. Have a wonderful day! Do let me know when fixed
How come the screenshot I saw in the fourm of user on the same build has mail app in taskbar? https://www.elevenforum.com/t/new-version-of-explorerpatcher.1991/post-96187 is it cause my display language is in French?
Man, you want to understand what I explain or not? I explained above what happens. French or not, has nothing to do with it. I am working on something at the moment and is very disturbing to get a message every 2 minutes.
Sorry, I fully underrstand now
Fixed in latest pre-release
Hi,
Thanks for fixing it though anything higher than 22563 will not work with explorer patcher, the explore just keeps restarting and its broken :(
thanks,
Shawn
That's probably something else. Investigating with a debugger could prove very useful, there was someone else who mentioned this earlier. I personally don't use Insider Preview builds, testing on it is not feasible.
I see, can you provide me steps to do to provide you the log files or diagnostics to help you solve the issue? Yes, I do understand and I am in no rush.
Thanks :)
Shawn
It seems the taskbar is now showing though the startmenu will not open, do you have the file explorer path to where the patcher settings are or how to do so through Windwos search? thanks
Updating Windows is painfully slow, it's 5x quicker to reinstall the VM... What a waste of time.
Will try editing the resgistry, thank you :)
Well the startmenu will not open now, so I would like to ask that you provide me the file location of the Explore Ptacher Properties so I can open it
Hi, it seems that the registry that explorer patcher has by default tries to use the Windows 11 Taskbar and the Windows 10 Startmenu wchi is causing the issues
I solved the 2 bugs, stand tight, I will publish an update very soon.
I have pushed the commits, the update should pop up soon. There were quite a few bugs, indeed. From CHANGELOG:
explorer.exe
(in module sndvolsso.dll
) on OS build 22567+ (.28)I see, thank you for your quickly update :) Will try and let you know if it works, thank you very much for helping me get my windows 10 all screen app live tiles back!!!!!
I am happy to report the issue has been solved and I can have the beautiful Windows 11 taskbar with windows 10 all screen live tiles!
Is there any way to get the "big" tiles to be together as it seems there is a limit and it dosen't let me make a row of stuff to the right.
I know this is a big ask but is there any way to get the Windows 8 Startmenu on here or is that a 100% no go? As I prefer the Windows 8 menu style, thanks.
Well I would like it if it would be just a row of icons that go from left to right not top to bottom
Also, is there a way to reset the default Windows 10 Layout when I already customized it in the startmenu, so ti will show the Edge, Office, store and the other apps? Sorry for the long messages :(
You’re welcome.
Have a wonderful day! If you can, do consider my request for the Windows 8 Startmenu as I prefer it to the tablet mode style on 10.
Merci and have a wonderful day!
Shawn :)
Windows 8 doesn’t have a Start menu, actually…
Anyways, got it all organized now :) thank you so much for making my wish come true :)
have a wonderful day!
Thank you so much!!! :)
Good night Shawn
I notice the language on the windows 10 startmenu don`t display in French but in English, like the ``All Apps
This is an issue tracker, not a chat. Furthermore, there is already a thread about this menu where things like these have been discussed. Why not check that out?

thanks :) I will check it out, sorry about that :*
I believe the UWP apps such as Mail, Calendar, Snipping Tool are not shown in taskbar in Windows 11 when using explorer patcher and the windows 10 startmenu. Kindly fix, thank you :)
