Microsoft blocks even more customization apps in Windows 11 version 24H2

Microsoft appears to be blocking even more apps for customizing the user interface in Windows 11 24H2. Users noticed that ExplorerPatcher joined the recently blocked StartAllBack app.

TLDR: StartAllBack, ExplorerPatcher and some other projects are being blocked on 24H2.

One more reason to switch to Linux

    Not if you’re using the preview build, where the entire functionality is removed. The warning is just a preemptive preparation for beta users. The bottom of the article indirectly mentions this.

    But sure, downvote me.

      The bottom of the article you mentioned:

      Windows 11 version 24H2 may cause some headaches for those relying on third-party apps for user interface customization. The latest builds ship with the flag that prevents restoring the old taskbar from the Windows 10 era enabled by default. This could be a sign of Microsoft wanting to remove old components from Windows 11 as it moves forward. (emphasis mine)

      Having a function loaded and present but prevented from use “enabled by default” is NOT at all the same as what you claimed, that “the entire functionality is removed.” Find the flag and switch it back on: the functionality was there all along.

      Microsoft may well do as you say in the future, which the article does support, but even the text you cited does not support your claim that it has already been removed entirely from the preview builds.
