# Explorer Patcher for Windows 11
This application aims to bring back a productive working environment on Windows 11, by restoring dormant functionalities from Windows 10 in the newest OS builds.
The well-known [StartIsBack](https://www.startisback.com/) application recently introduced support for Windows 11. Currently, regarding Windows 11 functionality, it offers the same features as this patcher, plus all the functionalities from the older releases of the software; thus the differences between the two at the moment, besides their internal implementation (probably) resort in the cost, licensing, support and development model: StartIsBack is a paid app, proprietary, closed source and comes with support, while ExplorerPatcher is free ([gratis and libre - as in free beer and free speech](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_libre), open source and is provided as-is, with support offered in a best-effort attempt.
ExplorerPatcher is offered more like a tool for people to study the source code and the techniques used, to learn and adapt it in order and to enable people to build each on top of the work of the others. The aim is to benefit both the community and its users. You are encouraged to take a look at the source and adapt it to your needs. While the source and the application in its current form will always be available here, I cannot make any guarantes over how long it will work in newer Windows 11 builds. Thus, these things being considered, if you would like, you can check out the beta test for StartIsBack [here](http://startisback.com/tbd/) and report any issues and make suggestions to its developer. It will probably mature in a release that will be better supported from a consumer point of view than ExplorerPatcher.
Current functionality enabled by this patcher includes:
* use the classic taskbar from Windows 10 (without the nasty effects of `UndockingDisabled`)
