Please consider the difference between the purpose of a community around a project on GitHub and a review board on Google Maps… if not obvious already, apparently.Īs for the supposed “bug” itself, yeah, no insight on it from you, I can’t magically fix it, I am not a wizard, I say this again. Then how should it be fixed? You expect software to fix itself, grow a consciousness and repair itself when it sees no one uses it anymore or what…?Īs I said, I am starting to question more and more the usefulness and idea behind this forums day after day. You may have encountered some problem related to this, you came to the portal where development of this app takes place, and instead of helping out identify and fix this supposed bug, your recommendation is to have no one use this anymore. A lot of people have this working just fine. That was also a big factor in why you had to do a reinstall or whatever when things went wrong.Īs for the rest of the attitude in your post, can hardly make any comment.

99.9999% you still would have clicked “Yes” without setting a restore point or making a backup first, despite being recommended to do so on every software install actually. How would a prompt to confirm the installation have helped in your case? Why does a prompt to confirm the installation make any sense considering that you deliberately double clicked the installer and chose to run it. Same issue here, installed it (since it had zero confirmation to install) Any help would be greatly appreciated.īeta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

I had 7+ Taskbar Tweaker installed with no problem in Windows 10, but after the upgrade to 11, I got an error message saying it couldn't start, possibly because it 'wasn't compatible with this version of Windows.' I uninstalled it and installed the latest version (5.12.3) but the problem remains. I tried uninstalling & reinstalling Explorer Patcher, but nothing changes. 'Properties' is no longer an option when I right click the task bar. I click on it, and the highlighted button just gets a few shades darker. Now I have a Windows 10 start icon but can't open the start menu. I then right clicked on the taskbar & selected 'properties.' For format, I selected Windows 10. No prompt for elevation or any indication it was installing - it just dumped me to the desktop and reloaded what programs I had open (I believe Firefox, possibly Notepad and Explorer).

I downloaded & ran ep_setup.exe as administrator. I just upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 today.
