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

ExplorerPatcher_26100.4946.69.6_x64

Repro Windows Versions

Windows 11 26H1 CanaryChannel Build 28000.1199 on a x64 Platform

3rd party tweak software installed

WSUS Community Edition is the only external application that is actively used. And of course, ExplorerPatcher as well.

Describe the bug

Thank you for the many settings and features; most of them are really great.

However, I'm experiencing a problem with the taskbar.
The Start menu button and all open windows are located on the left side of the screen and cannot be moved.

I changed the settings in ExplorerPatcher to Windows 11 (Default).

In the Windows Settings app, the taskbar is set to "Centered."

Activating this with this tool deleted my icons and my many painstakingly created context menu entries.
Everything is gone.
The icons on the right side of the taskbar are extremely dark or black and barely visible, rendering the taskbar unusable. The StartButton has the same Problem :(

White will transformed to Black?

The Error-Issue comes parallel with activate this Tool, on the same Time.

To Restart Explorer, does not help and not fix this Issue

Expected outcome

Visible Icons on the Taskbar, keep my selfmade ContextMenu-Entries and the StartButton and Icons on the Center from the Screen. on the left-side i have the Weather Widget, the Widget is also missing.

I have no Idea what caused this Problem

Actual outcome

Activating this with this tool deleted my icons and my many painstakingly created context menu entries.
Everything is gone.
The icons on the right side of the taskbar are extremely dark or black and barely visible, rendering the taskbar unusable. The StartButton has the same

Additional info

Windows Explorer runs faster, but it is also unstable and becomes "No Response" Issues.

Crash Dumps

I only have a few screenshots and the exported settings. I don't think I'll find these problems in any log file.
