github valinet/ExplorerPatcher 22000.1.0.5

Offsets are now determined at runtime

The application was tested on builds 22000.1 and 22000.168.

  • Library downloads and parses symbols in order to determine function hooking offsets at runtime and saves the data in a "settings.ini" file located in the application folder for future use; the file is invalidated when a new OS build is detected
  • The main executable attempts to determine the location where a jump has to be patched out so that Explorer remains on the 'show old taskbar' code path; it will systematically patch each jz/jnz instruction and will check whether Explorer still runs fine, and, if it does so and does not crash, whether the old taskbar got actually shown; once the offset is determined, it is saved in the "settings.ini" file for future use
  • Please have an unmetered active working Internet connection when running for the first time *Messages from the patcher (i.e. install/uninstall successful message, symbol downloading message) will now display in a toast (Windows 10 notification) if possible; when Explorer is not running, it falls back to using standard MessageBox'es
  • Disabled the pre/post build command that restarted sihost.exe in Debug builds
