Beep boop - this is a robot. A new show has been posted to TWiT…
What are your thoughts about today’s show? We’d love to hear from you!
Paul mentioned ExplorerPatcher and that makes me so happy because it’s one of my most relied upon tools now. I actually delayed updating to a different version of Windows 11 for almost a year because ExplorerPatcher was broken. I always kind of assumed Paul wouldn’t touch ExplorerPatcher because his relationship with Brad. Because Start11 is kind of a competitor that’s a more professional product (even though I personally can’t use Start11 to achieve what I am trying to do with ExplorerPatcher).
ExplorerPatcher is awesome. I rely on the Win10 taskbar because it still allows me to use T-Clock, the small Windows taskbar(i hate wasted vertical space! that is one of the biggest crime of the windows 11 taskbar), and taskbar on top.
ExplorerPatcher definitely is a tool that led me to discover & rely on windows backup/restore points(i always knew about them as a concept, but never was the type of person use the feature).
I once woke up to my Windows desktop having updated overnight and then Explorer wouldn’t load. so I was just in a black void (thankfully I know how to navigate without Explorer UI to get where I need to be)
I live in a constant worry that Microsoft is trying to extinguish apps like ExplorerPatcher.
