Before reporting your issue

  • I have confirmed that this issue does not happen when ExplorerPatcher is not installed
  • I do not have "register as shell extension" enabled
  • I have tried my best to check existing issues

Repro ExplorerPatcher versions

Describe the bug

  1. Use Simple Window Switcher in EP
  2. Pin any Xbox Game Bar extension in the game bar menu

Expected outcome

The extension does not show up on the switcher, and the extension works as intended.

Actual outcome

A window from the xbox game bar with no title shows, and switching to it does nothing. The behavior of the extension does not change.

Additional info

This was tested with the:

  • Crosshair X Game Bar extension, where it seemed to replicate a foreground window
  • Capture window, where it showed the overlay on a black background
  • ^ and most built-in extensions, with the same result
