File Explorer doesn't keep position and size with the windows 10 ribbon
File Explorer doesn't keep position and size with, "Control Interface*: Windows 10 Ribbon." I ether have to change this back to Windows 11 Command Bar or set file explorer to run in a separate process. When I run File Explorer as a separate proccess all of settings from ExplorerPatcher are ignored.
Here are the settings I have for file explorer.
I don't think this has anything to do with it but I have these registry modifications.

Got the same issue, all the settings under file explorer tab did not take effect for me. My OS is Windows 11 22H2 22621.2283. And my EP is at V22621.2361.58.3.

You can use what I wrote to get around the issue. With time, I'm sure the issue will get fixed.
For some time, there was an issue with task view and alt+tab, but they got fixed.

Thanks, I will try it tomorrow.
Can confirm with Win10 ribbon on 22621.1265, 22621.1992, 22621.2428, and 22631.2428. Issue doesn't persist with Win7 and Win11 command bar.
This does not happen on 22621.1 and 22000.2416. I will have to find starting from which version this started occuring.

Any updates on this?
So... I found a fix but with a catch: it will only last for so long. I disabled the feature flag for tabs and the window positions save as well as the menu bar of Win7 command bar showing properly again. Microsoft removed the feature flag in a Dev build that was released 2-3 weeks ago, which is Build 23575. Meaning that I need more time to deeply investigate this issue in order to make a (hopefully eternal) fix.
At least I have fixed EP so that it applies the command bar settings on separate instances, so you can use that workaround for now, or use the even snappier Win7 command bar.
Sorry if it's taking so long, I also have a lot of other important stuff to do.

Will there be a release with this update? All I see on the releases is 22621.2428.59.1 (Latest) and 22621.2428.59.1(Pre-release)
Just made a prerelease now that has the fix. 22621.2506.60.1. It will work for a month, two months, three months, or so? I don't know, but we've bought you some time.
Reopening this as the Tabs feature flag crashes Explorer when disabled, and that in later builds it is no longer able to be disabled.
This seems to be broken again. File Explorer size andposition always revert to the same size and position (3 monitors connected). If I uninstall EP, then move the File Explorer window and resize it and then re-install EP, it will remember the previous position. But once EP is installed I can't change the position any longer.

It is something you're going to have to get used to. The interface for Windows 10 has been debricated in Windows 11 even though it is still there.
So you know, previous parts of older interfaces of Windows as far back as Windows 2000 are still in Windows. You'd never know unless you went digging around through Windows looking for it.
I'm stuck on the old interface of the Windows 2000. I think the eye kandy that started with XP is dumb and Windows 11 Taskbar is retarded.
