• Taskbar10: Introduced a new taskbar implementation: Windows 10 (ExplorerPatcher). (146070d, 0b86e55)
  • You can try this implementation out by changing the "Taskbar style" to "Windows 10 (ExplorerPatcher)".
  • For now, this is only available for builds 22621, 22631, and 22635. Other builds will not have the option.
  • Refer to this wiki article for more information including important ones.

2

• Taskbar10: Due to false positive antivirus detections, the new taskbar implementation is no longer bundled in the setup program. (48c2a75)
  • If you want to use the new taskbar implementation, you can download the appropriate DLL for your system from the Releases page of its releases repository, and then manually putting it in C:\Program Files\ExplorerPatcher without the architecture specifier.
  • For example, for 226xx builds on x64-based systems, download ep_taskbar.2.amd64.dll, rename to ep_taskbar.2.dll, and lastly put it in C:\Program Files\ExplorerPatcher.
