They're focussing on the wrong things. We need more Windows builds that had many years of development put into them. Microsoft tries a new UI on every major release instead of trying to perfect the existing one while gradually adding features if they are stable enough. At this point I don't plan on upgrading Windows anymore after I noticed how much functionality in Windows 10 started degrading from just regular updates. I hope they have better quality control on Windows 12, or spend the effort they spent on Windows Vista where they made everything graphically super consistent and added as many options as they could. On Windows 10 and 11 they designed icons for programs but never applied them. Windows 10 doesn't properly have bitlocker and defrag icons in place for example, despite these icons having been designed and included in Windows. Also, can I get access to the Discord server back?
@@reidond All designs were nice, but after a decade of flat designs I have gotten sick of it. Sick enough to go back to Windows 7 again, and also use Mac OS 10.7, 7 for life! After all, the operating system is just a tool. A 64-bit CPU is a 64-bit CPU. It doesn't matter if you use a modern OS or not. Maybe Windows 7 is insecure but the lack of software written to support old Mac OS makes it beat security with obsucity.
@@MissingProYT69 it’s a shame that Microsoft made even NASA PCs obsolete with just one chip requirement. Now people either need to hire a guy to install the chip, use a workaround to install, or buy a new 1,000-infinity moneys computer.

@@MissingProYT69 you will either need to upgrade soon, due to security and 10 losing support and soon losing software support too. Or switch to Mac or Linux.

@@nobbyfirefly57 wait, when did we start talking about floppy disks? what does this have to do with anything? secondly, maintaining backwards compatibility with ancient software and peripherals is extremely important for Microsoft (except for the new hardware requirements in 11 but whatever) since that's their selling point and a good chunk of their business. they simply have no reason to deliberately go out of their way to remove floppy disk support, even if it's unlikely for the average user to use them.
@@nobbyfirefly57 I have no idea, it's just weird. I guess they understand that Windows has been suffering a lot from feature bloat for the past few decades, but are tackling the problem in all the wrong ways. or maybe they're just to lazy to reimplement them in the new UIs they made. who knows.
@@nobbyfirefly57 I think they actually removed the code now. the legacy taskbar is part of explorer.exe. in Windows 10, it was disabled and replaced by a new UWP one. before, you could use registry tweaks to enable the legacy taskbar. but now, it seems like it's been completely removed from explorer.exe. in this video, they replaced explorer.exe with an older version which has the taskbar.

Degrading of Windows systems, more place for others systems - so in these days i am moving from 10 to Linux (yes there is some problems, but no such as in 10 or 11)
@@UndercoverDog Windows 11 is very unfinished, it has at least gotten better since the first time I downloaded that leaked build in 2021. I have Windows XP, 7, 8.1, 10 and 11 installed and I switch between them often. Have been using 7 for the past week though because it is super fast. Windows 10 is fine but not the latest versions. The updates after 1809 just go downhill, they started with adding random parts of the Sun Valley ui transition with the new explorer icon in 1903. It's also in this version where the brightness of my display doesn't smoothly change anymore. Redstone 5 is probably the last good version of Windows 10, even tho the search is already degraded over 1803. I don't think the control panel will go away any time soon. They did get rid of certain things like customisation in control panel but they did that in Windows 8.1. Not much changed since.
I have Win 11 on my Laptop and its so trash. What annoyes me most is that they added a new dialog when you right click in Explorer (that one with rounded corners, showing options like copy, cut, delete etc) but it also has an option called "more options" and clicking it just reveals the old right clicking dialog from Win 10. This just shows how unfinished Win 11 is.
Also after 10 years they still arent finished with migrating Control Panel to the new Settings.
Not only Explorer, but many other Windows components are also swappable. The explorerframe DLL file can be swapped with an older one from build 21332 to completely disable the XAML File Explorer UI and reduce padding for the addressbar and search box!
@@Yanxve No, some critical files such as user32, shell32, ole32, ntoskrnl, and other aren't even swappable between 11 21H2 and 11 22H2 so I really doubt that. Also Windows 95 uses MS-DOS not NT, so you might have been thinking of NT 4.0.
@@winexperiments In counterposition with the hypothesis of @KyanoAng3l0, I think you could. The general base used for Windows 11 is literally the same as Windows 10's, just tweaked and adjusted for the new environment that they make. You just roll it all up back, hammer the registry, modify the kernel a lil' bit with a specialized OS-Driven USB drive to rename it as ""Windows 10" and make it recognize some things you did, and you're pretty much happy. In fact! You could do this all the way to Windows 95, since it has been the main kernel for Windows since it was created.
Speaking of, I just tried "restoring" the Games Explorer on Windows 11 (23H2) using registry entries and files from an old build of Windows 10 that had GE. Lol. It's a bit glitchy, but it works.
so does that mean that a whole windows 10 could be possible just on the windows 11 kernel? (or whatever other stuff than "kernel" makes windows 11, a windows 11 from the insides)

I work with the IT support department at my school, and as one of the people there said "i f***ing hate windows 11" as he tried to extract a zip file and explorer kept crashing, im guessing that what he said could be reflected in what microsoft are doing with windows, making it all look nice while looking at stability and asking "is anyone going to fix that" and deny any answers, while taking things from previous version of windows that are better and deliberaly breaking them, which causes things like homegroups still being mentioned in the contol panel, at least on windows 10.
I have the same job at my college as a student worker employed in the IT department as well. My boss said he also hates Windows 11, and jokingly(?) said that the windows spyware disguised as telemetry services is going to be used by Microsoft to lock you out of your computer if you have a bad "social credit score." Lol
I also have the same experience with extracting zip file but instead of crashing explorer, it extracts my file extremely slow (like it take a whole 2-3 minutes for 10 mb file)
That "Language preferences" dialog actually comes from the touch keyboard of all things. Microsoft randomly decided to make the touch keyboard always enabled, just slightly off screen. I guess it might have sped up loading times, even though there are none. Explorer gets confused and shows that UWP dialog for some reason.
@@UChS4Dq15wHu8vkvWsaLzvPg There is obviously a change to how Explorer and DWM talk to each other. Explorer and DWM are the base for UWP Apps, since when you kill explorer while one is running it will break and they can't even launch with DWM off. The login screen and other core aspects of Windows 11 are completely broken when disabling DWM, including explorer. Windows 10 was more stable, but the Start Menu still failed to launch, LogonUI would become a Command Prompt window, and UWP Apps intimately didn't work either. It's crazy how much Windows hangs onto DWM now, especially considering that in Windows 7 you could literally use the entire OS while it was disabled. Granted, you would lose Aero, but by switching to Windows Basic, you would actually get more stability and performance!
Just another interesting thing: Windows 8 and 8.1 have a different keyboard for the Desktop and Metro interfaces. The Desktop one has the "Touch keyboard and handwriting panel" from Windows 7, with an option to dock it to the bottom edge. The Metro one is rendered by DWM (the window compositor, which used to handle Aero) directly. They both look the same and have the exact same features. Windows 10 removed the desktop one and replaced it with the DWM one to better handle fullscreen apps. Windows 11 keeps the Windows 10 keyboard; I couldn't find any differences between them (other than visual differences). Explorer also plays a role in the keyboard overlay, so maybe something has changed with how Explorer and DWM talk to each other between Windows 10 and Windows 11.
i know i'm late but it's probably something to do with windows 11 being based off of windows 10x (update: i check the context again and i don't even know)
it being like that was probably the only way they could do it beacuse i dont think any of those windows tablets wold have been able to load that keyboard in and out everytime you wanted to type
Theoretically the ME and 98 one should also be replacable, cuz there wasn't too much drastic changes to explorer unlike in 98 where it became a IE-based app
Okay we're all definetly gonna agree on this. Microsoft is really pushing it's user-experience and UI with their office apps. They are overusing the design, For example: The office app has curved corners, and every other app has curved corners. Don't forget the fact that they use the same "Do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device?" UI for the "Save" "Cancel" "Do not save" When you open the outdated Video editor app, There's an error that comes over with rounded corners, saying that it has been replaced by the clipchamp app.
a few things are wrong - The "fix" will break with every update - this change is currently in Canary and will probably remain tied to a velocity ID, AKA disabling the ID will fix Explorer Patcher.
Tons of legacy code from windows 3.11 still lives in 11, but the windows taskbar, the most useful thing they had, no that they've managed to rip it out of the codebase which probably took a lot of work and for what? It's not like it was bothering anyone. I'm gonna backup my explorer from build 22000 in case an update somehow occurs even with it disabled, you never know these days. Thanks for the awesome content and keep it coming!
Also this gave me an idea: on my ARM based computer, ExplorerPatcher doesn't work so I'm gonna take ARM64 based explorer.exe from 10 22H2 which I got on my Lumia 950XL and try to put it on my Surface Duo which has windows 11 22621 running on it and see if that works.
Microsoft seems to assume that they don’t have to put any effort into making Windows any good, because not many people are going to switch anyway. So far, they seem to be right about that. Heck, they fired the whole QA team and released several duds (with one of them even deleting user’s files). If that doesn’t make people switch, nothing will.
ExplorerPatcher is the reason why I haven't just downgraded to win10 on my new laptop. It needs to be a core part of the OS, not something that's battling new updates.
well, they could just run the vivetool command (this change will probably be tied to a vivetool feature ID) during the setup. Also, this change is in the Canary channel so it probably won't be released in any 23H2 update, more likely 24H2/12/hudson valley.
@@fexploder3281 Yes, after Vista and 8 were seen as terrible updates after they spent a huge amount of work in the UI, they just moved on and focus on the cloud and AI stuff. Huge shame, I want an operating system that's consistent and appealing. In Windows 10 they're actively making it worse.
Or well, Microsoft should have continued with the business line separate from the home line as in the times of Windows 95 and 98.
They should have continued with line 95 and 98, but already written under the NT technology and focused 100% on home users and for these versions, introduce very visually attractive interfaces, since home computers are used by the elderly, children, young people and people who In general, they check their mail, their social networks and use them more as an entertainment center.
And furthermore, it should have continued the legacy of Windows 2000 for the business side in which the focus is on better features for IT and corporate networks and integrated simplified versions of the user interfaces of the NT Home line, without graphic effects or so many functions focused on home users. Luckily there is Windows 10 LTSC which is quite a cut compared to consumer Windows 10. However, it retains features that will never be used in a business environment such as Xbox-related features.
And I'm afraid that the next version of Windows LTSC will be based on Windows 11 and will not have many cuts compared to the original version of it.
@@phonl1 Even at the time Luna was quite criticized for how colorful he was and was called "Fisher-Price".
IT administrators and corporate users were especially surprised by the new appearance of the operating system; For a business environment, the interface was too childish and not at all serious, in an environment where the most important thing is the user interface. Fortunately, there was the option to set the classic Windows theme, which in the first years of Windows XP was always configured, and that is precisely why Windows Server 2003 came by default with the Luna theme disabled.
Then came Vista with aero glass, quite sweet for the common user but for companies the same thing happened as with XP and in 7 the aero glass line was followed, IT administrators found aero too sweet, but at least they had already implemented an intermediate theme like the aero basic, a theme that most IT administrators used, which was not as archaic as the classic Windows one, but in the eyes of corporate users, it was elegant and without distractions, since many times you saw the employees get distracted by the transparencies by moving the windows around the screen.
Then came Windows 8 and its interface was detested by ordinary users, the beloved aero glass and rounded corners were removed, and so was the classic theme. However, the default theme of Windows 8 was formal enough not to bother IT departments and in Windows 10 the same line was followed.
Then Windows 11 arrived and we returned to the disaster of eye-candy and childish interfaces and no option to implement a more sober and formal interface. Windows 11 is a disaster at the IT level, its interface is quite simplified, as if made for prekindergarten children with its giant menus and that start menu that looks like an Android launcher is horrendous. So yes, if they gave us the option to return to the themes of previous versions, they would have all users satisfied; both to IT administrators who would have the option of installing desktops without so many graphic flourishes that promote productivity and eliminate distractions and also to home users who enjoy having a desktop with striking colors and eye-candy effects.
@@XaneMyers Aero glass is way overrated. For its time, it was a very good interface, but today it would look super overloaded full of so many brightness and colors. At least if they made an updated version in the style of Windows 11 or maybe 10 for those who prefer the Windows 10 design, it would be fine, but since it was on Windows 7, it would currently be too noisy for the eyes. Personally, I prefer the mica effect of Windows 11 which is not as jarring, what it simply does is that the title bars have a gradient and do not show what is underneath the windows.
Of course, I agree that Microsoft should give us more freedom to customize the system beyond only allowing us to change colors and activate or deactivate transparencies. At the very least, it should put a slider to adjust the intensity of the acrylic and let us choose between acrylic, mica or aero glass, which although aero glass has already lost its charm to my taste, it is clear that too many users still like it.
@@OFraternaMori That's just not a case at all nowadays, even if you have a potato. Aero used to have noticeable load (in the sense that you can measure a difference) over 12 years ago. Systems have gotten much faster since then, and even then at that time if you had an ok PC it would run just fine. I ran my Win7 machine just fine with an i3 540 and a GT 240.
Microsoft used the same performance excuse to not show seconds on the taskbar clock until Windows 11 (Windows 7 through the Registry)
@@XaneMyers in principles the reason of simplifaction of Windows UI is to reduce resources usage, Aero is very resource hungry while flat design are supposed to be more lighter. But that not the case if you have decent mid end devices or not a gamer
This is something Microsoft really should've done back in Windows 8 instead of embracing boring flat design language/styles; Keep the Aero Glass theme as an option, plus bring back the Windows XP and classic themes.
Windows could use more customization, especially with themes. Not everyone likes flat, opaque title bars and eye-burning white windows… (Yes, the Aero theme that I want was unfortunately a light theme like that but still.)
Of course, if Microsoft let users make their own color schemes and themes again, it would reveal a problem: Programs can use their own colors and completely ignore your choices, which I think was a mistake.

Well I hope the new fixed version can work on my system since in my case, from the 1st day 22H2 came out, ExplorerPatcher and other taskbar utilities (classic shell to make another example) just make everything go unresponsive and freeze within two minutes after boot (first taskbar becomes unresponsive, then it crashes, then the wallpaper disappears, then task manager stops working, then ctrl+alt+del stops working, then the mouse cursor freezes, then alt+tab also stops working, then no keyboard input works anymore, then you're forced to hold the power button).
Doesn't seem to be the case for all users, but the fact the same thing happened to two different computers I had, and both after I upgraded from 21H2 to 22H2, well, it's fishy...
(in the end I had to uninstall and live the last year with basic start menu and taskbar)
Just out of pure curiosity, is it possible to do this the other way around? (Import the Windows 11 explorer into Windows 10 22H2). Would be cool to see a video on that, whether it works or not.
Good stuff! The other frustrating part I find is that Microsoft is locking out legacy OSes from newer technologies. 7 and 8 have been sealed away with the push for DCH drivers. Gaming on 7 has been taken away for new games due to DirectX12 + the DCH driver issue I mentioned previously. And then, with their newer OSes, they do just a sloppy job and focus on places that are unimportant - while demanding everyone use those OSes.
Coupled with a lack of a QA department, you see the state of Windows as it is right now.
I remember from WinXP era that there was a software called ViGlance that bring Vista and Se7en taskbar to WinXP with Aero glass and everything, can you check if that runs? I don't bother to have Win11 not even in a VM in the state it is now, nor do I intend to install it as primary OS in the upcoming decade.
I recently downgraded to Windows 10 and have not regret it. either way my computer doesn't officially support 11, and while I think the Windows 11 UI is sometimes visually pleasing, it lacks a lot of functionality that the 10 UI offers, and it's just so tablet-y
i'm using startallback which much like explorerpatcher, reverts the windows 10 taskbar and adds a few cool tweaks. in combination with openshell, it makes me feel pretty at home, as if i'm still using windows 10.
though, i've been forcing myself to stay on windows 11 21h2 since microsoft has changed something with themes in 22h2. i'm using a custom uxtheme patch-based theme which after updating to 22h2, causes the context menus to freak out and not display anything at times. it's extremely frustrating and i don't wanna get rid of a custom ui-wide black theme (which i don't see why microsoft struggles to make one). not to mention all of the ai bloat microsoft is injecting into windows past 22h2, which makes me pretty uneasy with what windows might become usability-wise, though 21h2 luckily doesn't suffer from this. these changes will make windows not feel like windows anymore and i'm kinda scared to see what'll happen with windows 12.
Just looked up the Windows 12 features MS has revealed so far. I see no trace of old Windows features. The GUI honestly looks like Windows 11's but tailored for tablets or touch screens. And MS is telling us to expect MORE AI stuff on Windows 12.
Unless their reveals aren't final or MS will be giving us a lot of customization options, you might find yourself sticking with 10/11 for much longer.
I love how Micro$oft actively makes their own product worse. The decline of such and important and ubiquitous tool is just so depressing. Honestly they need to narrow the scope and finish what they started windows 11 is windows 10 because Microsoft is constantly trying to jump on the next new thing when people value usability not rounded corners a different icon pack and a horrible right click menu. Their feature scope is all over the place their scattered brained approach is missing the most important thing the eXPerence that’s what made XP so good it was simple and elegant this is convoluted and contrived. It’s like trying to paint over rust/remnants like Andrew was saying but you never end up seeing the paint all you see is the rust.
the fact that windows 11 is so similar to 10 that you can literally replace explorer.exe with the 10 one and it works perfectly fine in 11 is just crazy
Is there any way to resize Windows 11's start menu to become full screen like in Windows 10? Or can you also bring back the start menu from Windows 10?
This and the taskbar are the only things that stop me from updating to Windows 11. Start has always annoyed me when it wasn't full screen. I found it clumsy to navigate even as a child when using Windows 98, 2000, XP and so on. There was subfolder after subfolder after subfolder in an endless tree until you could actually find the thing you actually looked for. It was so annoying. When Windows 8 came, it was like a breath of fresh air. My biggest complaint with Windows has finally been solved. It finally had a well organized Start Menu, that was easy to navigate and pleasant to look at. After that, they kept downgrading it. First by removing the live wallpapers in Windows 10, then by stripping all color out of it in the latest visual refresh of Windows 10. And now removing it all together in Windows 11 and going back to non-full screen.
You have to install explorer patcher after you installed the program just right click the taskbar and press properties then start menu in start menu style click it and choose windows 10 and then restart file explorer and the windows 10 start menu will show up instead of the windows 11 start menu
Non insider versions of windows 11 still have the windows 10 start menu but its disabled, explorer patcher is the only known program that can enable the windows 10 start menu
I switched to Windows 11 as I found a custom build called "Ghost Spectre" which has a lot of tweaks to make it a usable OS, and nuked updates through group policies, otherwise I wouldn't touch it with a 10-feet pole
The fact that you can just swap out the shell executable from one version to another shows how little difference there is in the backend between the two, it's almost as if they're the same operating system with a few visual changes hacked in on one of them.
Just "upgraded" to Windows 11 (22H2) this year. Besides 11 looking like a more decent and stable OS now, what convinced me is the more consistent and less flat GUI, live captions (super handy for ppl like me), and ofc available mods/tweaks for 11.
Ngl, as an IT guy who used to pan 11 a lot, I'm content with it so far. And a lot of the 11 users I've helped are content with theirs. But if current 10 users ask, I'd still tell them to stay put and hope 12 will be better.
i dont have any information but he probably learnt everything from researching of how that works or so. not sure if he learnt by using windows for so long.

Seems like according to sources, The ExplorerPatcher is for customizing the Windows layout. So Windows breaking it makes it impossible to change it. That's the worst thing Microsoft has ever done.
At around 1:34 you get a bug in Windows that I consistently get and this is the first time on the internet I've seen this. The taskbar will just freeze and crash every once in a while and it's just frustrating. I love modding Minecraft and not only does modding Minecraft require technical knowledge of how the game's folder structure works but you also need to have a file manager. This crash can instantly ruin mods worth of work into putting in. They seriously need to fix the bug. EDIT: Oh and I forgot, but this is on Windows 10, not 11. And even then, 11 is just 10 but worse. I don't know how Microsoft thought that 11 would work in the grand scheme of operating systems.

@@robertplayz9157 he was saying that he used the windows 10 explorer to restore the old taskbar in windows 11 but explorer entered into a crash loop because of search highlights and news and interest
Microsoft broke Explorer Patcher with its recent Dev 26080.1100 24H2 build, enabling the ugly Windows 11 taskbar. I had to uninstall EP because Windows Explorer kept crashing, resulting in a black screen. Installing EP 64.2 fixed the issue. I got the Windiows 10 taskbar with the small icons back. Works with Open Shell! 😊
Theoretically, couldn’t you swap Win7 Explorer.exe with windows 11’s? My main guess on why it wouldn’t work would be incompatibility’s with modern system things, but a patch could be made for it.
Speaking of XP Luna Blue, you can force Windows to use the classic #245DDA as the custom colour, theme your taskbar the same colour, set the text as #ffffff white and set the change if yoiu’re using Open Shell. I’m running Apple Guy’s dynamic modern Bliss wallpaper set. 😊
microsoft doesnt have tge time to make ACTUAL good changes to their "os" no, thats one of the worst things you've suggested. microsoft has better things to do such as force a clunky broken ad filled no dark mode support mail app they call "outlook" in our pcs instead of the highly superior mail and calendar apps
Hey, my Win10 explorer updated in newest Windows update and they just made the boxes around the "This PC" smaller and they don't fit and the taskbar looks glitchy with dark theme. Any fix? Wasn't like this even yesterday.
It already happened to me in the stable build, explorer patcher won't work when I try to click Windows 10 Taskbar then clicking restart Explorer it just won't show but it is not a huge problem for me because I only wanted to try it
those are exactly the changes i've feared that made me not upgrade to 11. replacing the legacy stuff should have been done with the initial release. we're not your beta testers microsoft.
@endermanch put a disclaimer for the video saying that explorer patcher is broken only on canary because everyone thinks that explorer patcher stopped working on every windows 11 release
It’s literally about forcing control for Microsoft. Like others said, they deliberately played with this one feature out of many, many old components they could’ve updated/fixed. They want the upper hand over users but they’re doing it in a way that Apple wouldn’t even attempt. It’s just tacky, stupid and makes the experience worse off.
As much as I hate microsoft, you can't just expect them to do everything in their power to avoid breaking a third party patcher that's only goal is to change things in the OS that are as critical as the file explorer
I really hope that if there is a Windows 12, then it wouldn't release as an unfinished buggy mess... I hope that Microsoft will learn from their mistakes for once because this is way too bad

@@TheRealZone its likelier that you are correct, that a security expert wouldn't use TLauncher, however i was under the impression that it was TLauncher because TL used to have the same icon there, and since TL is a russian launcher, i figured they would have more influence in Russia.

Edit: Will be switching to N09 soon tho. It’s a mod of windows 10 IoT LTSC 2021 which gets updates until 2032 or smth and it looks and feels and functions like 7. Screenshots I’ve seen is 1:1 copy only thing missing is the glow for the text in aero (they’re making their own aeroglass for modern w10 btw so no windowblinds yay) but it’s still super similar and the naked eye won’t notice it’s not rlly 7
The best OS by far in my opinion is Windows 7. They should have just continued to support Windows 7 and add new features to that like DirectX12, the windows store rather than actually modifying the UI. That OS was just way too reliable and puts current day Windows to shame.
Bro, ExplorerPatcher was working fine on my device. But, it immediatly crashed when I opened File Explorer. After a few days it return to the Windows 11 Explorer. But, it also had problem while left clicking the taskbar. It crashes. Can anyone fix it? Reply.
Since it's been possible again to not combine the taskbar icons in Windows 11, I no longer have any problems with it and find Windows 11 a very good system.
I am glad I am still using Windows 11 22H2 on my desktop because I am using this program to make my computer look like Windows 7 and the look would be out of place without it.
Windows 11 taskbar is good enough for me, I always kept it at the bottom of the screen anyways so that feature missing dosn't matter for me and they brought back the right click open task manager option. Also Windows 11 Explorer has TABS which makes it better then windows 10 explorer
I tried this same thing months ago by using windows installation USB and I got the same windows 10 taskbar but didn't how how to change it's appearance.
The sad part is i bought this pc 2 years ago and it got windows 11 pre-installed. but now the problem is i cant downgrade cuz i already have all my files on my windows 11 so if i downgrade then windows will tell me that i cant keep my files but i guess i can be used to 11 but im more of a 10 guy
How did you make the search bar turn into a rectangle/Windows 10 one? Explorer Patcher works really well and the Windows 11 update didn't glitch anything, maybe because I didn't install that update not too sure. But the thing that I don't like is the search bar I have, the search bar is just a tiny button. This type of tutorial feels pretty complicated.
This is jarringly stupid. They don't want to add the option to put the taskbar on the top and sides of the screen because "it's too much work and very low amount of people use it this way" and they want to delete the way that you could use it like that? I think they just don't want people to actually use Windows 11...
Why give up on Windows 10 when you can choose to stay on Windows 10 and dual boot Linux it's still modern even if it reaches End of Life policy and will never reach the "retro" status even current browsers will still be allowing Windows 10 in the near future. I don't think Windows 10 is gonna meet the same fate as Windows 7 not to mention security updates are only optional I find other security software to be more reliable than Windows Defender anyway. A lot of people don't know Windows Defender can't get deep viruses within your computer your computer is actually not 100% safe and I highly encourage people to use a security software to remain protected no Operating System is perfect so why do we have these useless End of Life policies to begin with that's actually rushing Operating Systems that can live longer?
20 seconds into the video. Quick fun fact, the setting to enable seconds in the clock on the taskbar literally says (uses more power) because the new taskbar is so ass
Windows 11 taskbar is just smoother and has better animations than Windows 10 taskbar. And icons in the center is better on widescreen, so for me 11 is better than 10
ive been using explore patcher since i got windows 11 and only had a few issues when my pc decided to do updates that broke it but it was fixed in a day or 2 by the dev
sadly gaming on linux is hard for me, roblox crashes every few minutes or so (which is not supported on linux). and other games crashes rarely and never had this issue on windows. i have tried many os for that, some gives less and high fps and frequent crash. what do you recommend?
May I suggest ditching the MC launcher for Prism and using the simply optimized modpack? It's great 👍 Especially if you bundle it with Essential and Distant Horizons. My favorite MC config.
but now microsoft will try to fix your way so try working at microsoft to tell them the better ideas bc they f*&%ing screwed windows up starting from windows 8 bc they tried using new looks that everyone hated
Windows 11 has CPU scheduling, but given the poor quality of the explorer and other system components, I could never consider Windows 11 to be “faster”. Windows 10 is not only more efficient in most benchmarks, but also in real-world use. Windows 10 feels 10000 times faster than Windows 11.
Windows 11 has cpu scheduling, Windows 10 doesn't. if you actually have a modern and decent processor you will notice you will lose a lot of performance.
windows 11 is just a reskin of win 10... but i think that everyone knows that. like it has the same nt version as win 10, when i am logging on to my google account on my win 11 mashine, google literally said that i want to login on a win 10 mashine. microsoft, a shell replacement isn´t a new version of windows okay. i mean you added a few things.... but removed a lot of things.... win 11 is just a downgrade from win 10... bruh
In Windows 11 The old version of the taskbar remains, but only works with Explorer Patcher utility. Unfortunately, the developers did remove the code, which led to the inability to return to the old taskbar with a tiled Start.
I use Gentoo Linux, btw. (no-multilib lto hardened musl llvm clang custom profile on 17.1 with USE="-*", setting my own use flags for each package, -O3 5.15 LTS striped kernel with the only drivers and kernel I need for the system to work, along with the sway window manager and latest mesa3d)
Unpopular opinion: I think it's a good idea that they have to remove the classic taskbar code. Windows has been littered with legacy components (some are from the 90s!) so doing this will lighten up explorer.exe
Or just reskin and refine existing code that already works, which will change how it looks, but still keep functionality? I prefer "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" over "If it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features." The legacy components are only legacy because they abandoned and didn't update them, or in some cases they're still intended to be used, but just not updated.
Just did this on W11 24H2 IoT Enterprise LTSC. Can confirm working. No need for icon size or dark mode hacks, both work OOTB. However, is there any reg hack to show all systray icons? Instead of using that pop-up box.
FOUND A FIX: "Press the “Windows logo key + R” keyboard shortcut to open the Run dialog box.
In that, paste “explorer shell:::{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9}” (along with the curly brackets) and click on the “Ok” button. Here, select the “Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar” checkbox.
i've heard about this windows updates and as soon as i have heard that they going to remove the legacy taskbar i instantly turn off all the updates notifier, automatic update from windows because im afraid that my custom windows 7 skin will be broken because it involve using explorerpatcher and other legacy stuff and it seems like you have found a good enough fix for it, i honestly thought it was going to be unfixable but i was wrong for the time being now i just need to wait until explorerpatcher have found a permanent way to bypass this microsoft stripping strategy
It is together that Endermanch tries on windows 11 to take advantage of the one-touch ExplorerPatcher.exe fixed test as Microsoft Windows failed a package, let's try to fix this using the mind on the new computer.
Enderman should work for Microsoft, since he's better at improving it then the workers themselves

At this point I don't plan on upgrading Windows anymore after I noticed how much functionality in Windows 10 started degrading from just regular updates. I hope they have better quality control on Windows 12, or spend the effort they spent on Windows Vista where they made everything graphically super consistent and added as many options as they could. On Windows 10 and 11 they designed icons for programs but never applied them. Windows 10 doesn't properly have bitlocker and defrag icons in place for example, despite these icons having been designed and included in Windows. Also, can I get access to the Discord server back?

It's also in this version where the brightness of my display doesn't smoothly change anymore. Redstone 5 is probably the last good version of Windows 10, even tho the search is already degraded over 1803. I don't think the control panel will go away any time soon.

@@UChS4Dq15wHu8vkvWsaLzvPg There is obviously a change to how Explorer and DWM talk to each other. Explorer and DWM are the base for UWP Apps, since when you kill explorer while one is running it will break and they can't even launch with DWM off. The login screen and other core aspects of Windows 11 are completely broken when disabling DWM, including explorer. Windows 10 was more stable, but the Start Menu still failed to launch, LogonUI would become a Command Prompt window, and UWP Apps intimately didn't work either. It's crazy how much Windows hangs onto DWM now, especially considering that in Windows 7 you could literally use the entire OS while it was disabled. Granted, you would lose Aero, but by switching to Windows Basic, you would actually get more stability and performance!
2 likesJust another interesting thing: Windows 8 and 8.1 have a different keyboard for the Desktop and Metro interfaces. The Desktop one has the "Touch keyboard and handwriting panel" from Windows 7, with an option to dock it to the bottom edge. The Metro one is rendered by DWM (the window compositor, which used to handle Aero) directly. They both look the same and have the exact same features. Windows 10 removed the desktop one and replaced it with the DWM one to better handle fullscreen apps. Windows 11 keeps the Windows 10 keyboard; I couldn't find any differences between them (other than visual differences). Explorer also plays a role in the keyboard overlay, so maybe something has changed with how Explorer and DWM talk to each other between Windows 10 and Windows 11.

well, they could just run the vivetool command (this change will probably be tied to a vivetool feature ID) during the setup. Also, this change is in the Canary channel so it probably won't be released in any 23H2 update, more likely 24H2/12/hudson valley.

@@fexploder3281 Yes, after Vista and 8 were seen as terrible updates after they spent a huge amount of work in the UI, they just moved on and focus on the cloud and AI stuff. Huge shame, I want an operating system that's consistent and appealing. In Windows 10 they're actively making it worse.
0 likesOr well, Microsoft should have continued with the business line separate from the home line as in the times of Windows 95 and 98.
2 likesThey should have continued with line 95 and 98, but already written under the NT technology and focused 100% on home users and for these versions, introduce very visually attractive interfaces, since home computers are used by the elderly, children, young people and people who In general, they check their mail, their social networks and use them more as an entertainment center.
And furthermore, it should have continued the legacy of Windows 2000 for the business side in which the focus is on better features for IT and corporate networks and integrated simplified versions of the user interfaces of the NT Home line, without graphic effects or so many functions focused on home users. Luckily there is Windows 10 LTSC which is quite a cut compared to consumer Windows 10. However, it retains features that will never be used in a business environment such as Xbox-related features.
And I'm afraid that the next version of Windows LTSC will be based on Windows 11 and will not have many cuts compared to the original version of it.
@@phonl1 Even at the time Luna was quite criticized for how colorful he was and was called "Fisher-Price".
0 likesIT administrators and corporate users were especially surprised by the new appearance of the operating system; For a business environment, the interface was too childish and not at all serious, in an environment where the most important thing is the user interface. Fortunately, there was the option to set the classic Windows theme, which in the first years of Windows XP was always configured, and that is precisely why Windows Server 2003 came by default with the Luna theme disabled.
Then came Vista with aero glass, quite sweet for the common user but for companies the same thing happened as with XP and in 7 the aero glass line was followed, IT administrators found aero too sweet, but at least they had already implemented an intermediate theme like the aero basic, a theme that most IT administrators used, which was not as archaic as the classic Windows one, but in the eyes of corporate users, it was elegant and without distractions, since many times you saw the employees get distracted by the transparencies by moving the windows around the screen.
Then came Windows 8 and its interface was detested by ordinary users, the beloved aero glass and rounded corners were removed, and so was the classic theme. However, the default theme of Windows 8 was formal enough not to bother IT departments and in Windows 10 the same line was followed.
Then Windows 11 arrived and we returned to the disaster of eye-candy and childish interfaces and no option to implement a more sober and formal interface. Windows 11 is a disaster at the IT level, its interface is quite simplified, as if made for prekindergarten children with its giant menus and that start menu that looks like an Android launcher is horrendous. So yes, if they gave us the option to return to the themes of previous versions, they would have all users satisfied; both to IT administrators who would have the option of installing desktops without so many graphic flourishes that promote productivity and eliminate distractions and also to home users who enjoy having a desktop with striking colors and eye-candy effects.
@@XaneMyers Aero glass is way overrated. For its time, it was a very good interface, but today it would look super overloaded full of so many brightness and colors. At least if they made an updated version in the style of Windows 11 or maybe 10 for those who prefer the Windows 10 design, it would be fine, but since it was on Windows 7, it would currently be too noisy for the eyes. Personally, I prefer the mica effect of Windows 11 which is not as jarring, what it simply does is that the title bars have a gradient and do not show what is underneath the windows.
5 likesOf course, I agree that Microsoft should give us more freedom to customize the system beyond only allowing us to change colors and activate or deactivate transparencies. At the very least, it should put a slider to adjust the intensity of the acrylic and let us choose between acrylic, mica or aero glass, which although aero glass has already lost its charm to my taste, it is clear that too many users still like it.
@@OFraternaMori That's just not a case at all nowadays, even if you have a potato. Aero used to have noticeable load (in the sense that you can measure a difference) over 12 years ago. Systems have gotten much faster since then, and even then at that time if you had an ok PC it would run just fine. I ran my Win7 machine just fine with an i3 540 and a GT 240.
6 likesMicrosoft used the same performance excuse to not show seconds on the taskbar clock until Windows 11 (Windows 7 through the Registry)
@@XaneMyers in principles the reason of simplifaction of Windows UI is to reduce resources usage, Aero is very resource hungry while flat design are supposed to be more lighter. But that not the case if you have decent mid end devices or not a gamer

Of course, if Microsoft let users make their own color schemes and themes again, it would reveal a problem: Programs can use their own colors and completely ignore your choices, which I think was a mistake.

This and the taskbar are the only things that stop me from updating to Windows 11.
Start has always annoyed me when it wasn't full screen.
I found it clumsy to navigate even as a child when using Windows 98, 2000, XP and so on. There was subfolder after subfolder after subfolder in an endless tree until you could actually find the thing you actually looked for. It was so annoying.
When Windows 8 came, it was like a breath of fresh air. My biggest complaint with Windows has finally been solved. It finally had a well organized Start Menu, that was easy to navigate and pleasant to look at.
After that, they kept downgrading it.
First by removing the live wallpapers in Windows 10, then by stripping all color out of it in the latest visual refresh of Windows 10. And now removing it all together in Windows 11 and going back to non-full screen.

The best OS by far in my opinion is Windows 7. They should have just continued to support Windows 7 and add new features to that like DirectX12, the windows store rather than actually modifying the UI. That OS was just way too reliable and puts current day Windows to shame.
