![]() ![]() The known affected third-party user interface customization applications are ExplorerPatcher and StartAllBack. These third-party applications may cause errors in explorer.exe that may loop multiple times. It states:Īfter installing KB5022913 or later updates, Windows devices with some third-party UI customization apps may fail to start. Microsoft has published the support article Third-party UI customization apps might cause Windows to not start up in the Known Issues in the Status Health dashboard, which describes the problems. However, the use of such tools conflicts with the Moments 2 update for Windows 11 22H2. Examples are ExplorerPatcher or StartAllBack. Third-party tools for customizing the Windows 11 interface are popular among many Windows 11 users. The details of the preview update KB5022913 can be found in the post Windows 11 22H2: Preview Update KB5022913 (Feb. I had presented the new features of the blog post Windows 11 22H2: Moments 2 update KB5022913 brings many new features. They are simply Microsoft riding roughshod over its customers who need to use its software to do something more useful than playing a game.Preview update KB5022913 for Windows 11 version 22H2 is optional, as these fixes will only be integrated in the security update for March 2023 and then rolled out widely. While I fully agree that the hardware diktats for Windows are unnecessarily draconian, the interface changes have nothing to do with them. Presumably, Microsoft does not see the interface changes as a problem, so it sees nothing to fix. Then made the centerpiece in a way which requires buying new hardware from Microsoft or their partners. Security is as usual, pasted on as a thin veneer. Cloud Apps complete with huge ad panes and an overload of unnecessary notifications. ![]() All these changes are designed to drive users toward paid Microsoft-controlled Cloud Apps and away from Desktop Applications. Microsoft should be offering these choices for free, included with the OS. Why should I have to pay for third-party solutions to a problem which Microsoft itself created? My argument for supporting open-source solutions is more than philosophical: I was waiting for someone to mention OpenShell. I sure hope it is, but, again, I’m not holding my breath! With respect to the two apps, it may not be possible to regain the option to relocate the taskbar. Overhauling the interface between 8.0 and 8.1 was a notable exception mostly because people could – and did – avoid 8.0 like the plague and that cost it money. It has a long and sturdy history of doing just the opposite. I would not hold my breath for Microsoft to do anything as radical as actually listening to its customers. With all the complaints about the Taskbar, I’d love to see one or both of these programs add more Taskbar features. The main thing you can do with Start11 is move the Taskbar to the top of the screen, but you can’t move it left or right. Beyond letting you tweak the Start menu icon and playing around with the colors and visuals, neither Start11 or StartAllBack gives you much control over the Taskbar as far as functionality. Microsoft definitely screwed up the Taskbar in Windows 11. ![]()
