Windows 10 taskbar in 24H2

[cjahn50]

I'm looking for some information on what taskbar(s) will be supported in Windows 11, 24H2. Will both Windows 10 and Windows 10 (ExplorerPatcher) be supported, or will just Windows10 (ExplorerPatcher)? I am currently running Windows 11 23H2 and using the Windows 10 taskbar in EP.

Thanks in advance!

Only Windows10 (ExplorerPatcher) and Windows 11 taskbars will be supported. If you try switching to Windows10 taskbar, an error message will be shown indicating it is not supported.

Can I run Windows 10 (ExplorerPatcher) now? Or am I restricted to Windows 10 since I’m running 23H2?

You should be using the Windows 10 (ExplorerPatcher) taskbar.

Thanks! I'll make the change today.

Upgrading to 24H2 means succumbing to future breakages they will make to the operating system, just my two cents...

Changed over to Windows 10 (ExplorerPatcher) taskbar. The Windhawk mod - Disable Taskbar Thumbnails does not work with that version of the taskbar. So if there are any ideas as to how to change from thumbnails to list on hover, I'm all ears and eyes :-)

Right click on the taskbar and select taskbar settings. The Windows 10 (ExplorerPatcher) taskbar uses these same settings.

I'm familiar with the taskbar settings. I went there first. But there is no setting/option for switching between a list and thumbnails. If you are aware of where that option resides, please pass it along. And, FWIW, the Windhawk mod does work with the Windows 10 taskbar. Just not the Windows 10 (ExplorerPatcher) taskbar.

When icons are combined on the taskbar, they automatically change from thumbnails to lists depending on the amount of icons being combined. There was never any setting for this.

I've just installed upgrade to the Win 11 24H2 on my personal machine, tried to reinstall the EP exactly as I installed it several times earlier but now it won't start :( Explorer restars when installation finishes but the taskbar apprear as the regular Win11 taskbar :(
Do I miss anything? It appears EP just doesn't want to work on 24H2... I tried to install several times, restat machine, adding Defender exceptions again, turning it off when installing, but nothing helps...

Coincidently, I installed 24H2 this morning. Before I started I exported the EP settings and deleted EP using EP's uninstall option. Once the update was complete, I reinstalled EP. I had no issues and I am back to where I was before the update.
