valinet/ExplorerPatcher 22000.434.41.6_a5faef1

22000.434.41.6

on GitHub

Tested on OS build 22000.434.

New features

• Support for OS build 22000.434
• Ability to choose a Windows 10 or Windows 11 Start button style for the Windows 10 taskbar (#436, thanks @krlvm)
• Support for screen readers in the Properties window (#627) (.1)
• Option to disable Office hotkeys (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Windows key combinations) (#661) (.4)
• Simple Window Switcher can switch applications instead of windows (#665) (.5, .6)

Feature enhancements

• The option to toggle taskbar auto hide when double clicking the taskbar now works with the Windows 11 taskbar as well
• Performing a memory leak dump now displays GDI, peak GDI, USER and peak USER object counts as well
• The language switcher list displays only the options that work (previously, it showed some cryptic internal implementations, like "LOGONUI", "UAC", "SETTINGPAGE" and "OOBE"). Thus, the list of language switchers offers the following choices:
  • Windows 11 (default)
  • Windows 10 (with link to "Language Preferences")
  • Windows 10

Fixes

• Fixed a bug that prevented the Properties UI's system menu from displaying and working correctly
• Fixed a bug that displayed a wrong timestamp (29/08/2021) instead of the current date and time on the notifications generated by ExplorerPatcher
• Fixed a wrong function prototype (5b4bd07#r62018175, thanks @Simplestas)
• Protected some state variables from changing internally if modified in the registry until explorer is restarted
• Fixed a bug that could unexpectedly prevent the [Win]+[Alt]+[D] shortcut from working properly
• Windows 10 language switcher displays correctly when the taskbar is placed in some location other than the bottom of the screen (#629) (.2)
• Available symbols download properly on Insider builds (tested on 22526.1000) (.3)
• Mitigated an explorer.exe bug where Windows 10 taskbar buttons were becoming too large under certain circumstances when the setting to show labels/never combine is used and the screen resolution/DPI changes (#664) (.6)
