Install EP_SETUP.EXE and run it, restart your PC and off you go.

    There didn't seem to be any way to show app tray icons after Explorer Patcher was installed, other than behind the little top facing arrow. So uninstalled.

    Has anyone tried this? Is there a discussion or forum of people that had problems with this?

     

    I hope this above solution is a safe solution. Not sure why has Microsoft made life so miserable for me to do my work. I need to roll back to Win 10 to do my work.

      I just tried it on a test VM of Windows 11 and it did absolutely nothing.

       

      The "Never Combine" setting is the very first thing I change on a new install of Windows right before turning off the hiding of known file extensions, so Windows 11 didn't even get past the 1 minute test for me. This omission is even worse than the ridiculous decision to remove the "Up One Folder" button in Windows 8. Won't be installing 11 as my driver until a safe and reliable solution is available. Frankly, I may not even bother at all now.

       

      EDIT: Actually it did work, have to right click the taskbar and select "Properties" and it's in there.
