Support for Windows 11 24H2
Things currently broken:
- Windows 10 taskbar
- The presence of 42537950 ("DisableWindows10Taskbar") feature flag causes the old taskbar to crash when being loaded. Due to this the stock Windows 10 taskbar is now no longer an option on 26002+.
- Reimplementation is in progress.
- Old battery flyout crashes
ShellExperienceHost.exe
when triggered. - Programs that use tray icons to make notifications show up in notification center as "Microsoft.Explorer.Notification" without icons.
- Will close the following issues once the reimplemented taskbar is released:

- Setup
- Microsoft added
ep_setup.exe
into the Program Compatibility Assistant database to be hardblocked on 26100+ due to the presence of code disabling the DisableWin10Taskbar feature flag. The code for doing so has been removed, but Microsoft hasn't responded to this. More info on https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/issues/3053 - For now while the hardblock is still present, rename
ep_setup.exe
to anything else when installing, and rename toep_uninstall.exe
for uninstalling.
