Microsoft blocks even more customization apps in Windows 11 version 24H2
www.neowin.net
Microsoft appears to be blocking even more apps for customizing the user interface in Windows 11 24H2. Users noticed that ExplorerPatcher joined the recently blocked StartAllBack app.

TLDR: StartAllBack, ExplorerPatcher and some other projects are being blocked on 24H2.

One more reason to switch to Linux

      Hmm. Russia or Russian programmers were not in the article. The only reason was performance:

      It is possible that Microsoft blocked those apps due to a higher number of crashes on build 26100, which is allegedly version 24H2 RTM build.

        You realize you can get info from other sources right? Not just this one article?

              Thanks for the link, but I still do not see where it says “Microsoft blocked apps because of Russian dev.”

              The dev says that it’s related to depreciated features, not the country of origin:

              Well, this has to do with myriad feature flags around copilot and working area hacks MS is doing. But generally classic taskbar is dead code and 24H2 is going bring only degradations and pain.
