Sadly, after last update the explorer patcher caused unusable start button. 
I used it... but after the update many problems with the Taskbar started and start button couldn't be used at all. It took me maybe 15 minutes till I found out that it is because of Explorer Patcher!

I don't recommend to use it as of now 😞

Hello. 

I should've seen this thread before installing the explorer patcher. My screen's blinking nonstop, and the taskbar's unusable.

The only way I could access things is via task manager. What should I do? Control panel won't open via task manager and I can't seem to uninstall it 😞

    I have used total commander for uninstalling the Explorer Patcher. 
    After using 3-4 versions of it and each causing failing of taskbar after a minor windows11 patch I had enough of it, paid a few euros for program "Start all back" and since then I had no problems. I have also added the "T-Clock" add on for a good measure to have configurable clocks

    Hi, 

    From task manager, on the above you will see "Run new Task", in the opening window, write "cmd" and select the box  "Create this task with administrative privileges". Then go to the ExplorerParcher folder  

    >cd "c:\Program Files\ExplorerPatcher"

    Run

    >ep_setup.exe \uninstall
