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

    How you explained it helped a lot. So it basically is a windows emulator but isn’t for legal reasons? Lol

      Haha no, it’s technically not an emulator. Emulation means having a whole fake CPU that runs your software. Wine doesn’t do that, instead it makes the windows exe run in Linux and provides an API so the calls your windows program makes run natively.

      Tldr emulation is slow, wine makes your programs run natively.

      I switched to Linux for gaming a year ago and I have been blown away by how good it is.

      Not really an emulator, though the end result is similar. WINE translates the instructions sent between the OS and software to languages each other understands. It’s like a Babel Fish for Windows programs and the Linux OS.
