A Microsoft representative (?) opened an issue for Explorer Patcher:

Hi Team,

This is to let you know that Win10 taskbar code is removed. And if use continue to use ExplorePatcheron Windows GE Build, they will see a crash. You only need to adjust the setup exe name to get around the block in your new version. We will continue to block ANY version that crashes Explorer.

Please let me know if you have any question.

Thanks Michelle

Makes sense to me.

Didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

Shame somebody removed that code. At least RetroBar will still work. Hopefully.

If only there was a way to know who removed the code
