Support for Windows 11 24H2

Open Amrsatrio opened this issue 1 month ago • 10 comments

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:
      • https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/issues/2497
      • https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/issues/2812
      • https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/issues/3021
  • Windows 10 start menu
    • 22621.3374 StartUI.dll (or any other version) needs to be downloaded and placed at C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\StartUI.dll first in order to work.
    • Does not position correctly when the taskbar is not docked to the bottom.
  • 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 to ep_uninstall.exe for uninstalling.

Further new-in-24H2 issues may be discussed in here, but please refrain from creating new individual issues for now.
