+        The icon is stuck in the Wi-Fi icon state, giving false impressions that the device is still connected to Wi-Fi. The icon will stay this way until Wi-Fi/Airplane Mode is toggled, or until the device is reconnected to a Wi-Fi router.

+      placeholder: |
+        Example:
+        Windows 11 build 25236 removed pnidui.dll, leaving the restoration-from-22621 method being the only option to have this icon. However, there may be interface mismatches or API updates that caused the 22621 (22H2) pnidui.dll to behave this way on 24H2. Patches to pnidui.dll may be needed in order to fix this.

+          ><ins>**Microsoft and other major antivirus vendors have flagged ExplorerPatcher as \"malware\".**</ins> This is likely due to Microsoft's hatred against ExplorerPatcher, not because it contains a virus or such. Flags from Microsoft usually spread to other antivirus vendors.
+
+          Please include the following files and folders in your antivirus' exclusion list to prevent issues due to antivirus detections:
+
+          \`\`\`
+          C:\Program Files\ExplorerPatcher
+          %APPDATA%\ExplorerPatcher
+          C:\Windows\dxgi.dll
+          C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy
+          C:\Windows\SystemApps\ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy
+          \`\`\`
+
+          For Defender, you can run the following script in PowerShell as an administrator:
+
+          \`\`\`
+          Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath \"C:\Program Files\ExplorerPatcher\"
+          Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath \"\$env:APPDATA\ExplorerPatcher\"
+          Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath \"C:\Windows\dxgi.dll\"
+          Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath \"C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\"
+          Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath \"C:\Windows\SystemApps\ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\"
+          \`\`\`
+          
+          ### **Failure to exclude ExplorerPatcher's files may result in inability to install/uninstall ExplorerPatcher and explorer.exe being unable to start.**
+
+          If you do not trust this process, please refrain from using ExplorerPatcher and look for alternatives instead.
+
+          Microsoft, if you are reading this, please reconsider the detections as [there are a lot of users who trust this program and that risks from future EP developers are a thing.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R50myh-AAe0)
