to be honest with you i'm really starting to hate windows as a platform, i have been serously thinking of moving to Linux because of the major issues with Microsoft products that i have been plagued with for the last decade straight, and this is with their free versions of windows they are the most buggy trash i have ever had to use.
@@user-tp5yb4hr4w Hey do you have discord? I can help u out genuinely
Hi, have you any idea how to get rid of the scrolling by themselves folders in left panel bug?
After that I'll be thinking of buying.
@@electrocat9 Dont buy it
@@electrocat9 Do you have discord?
Agreed. Powertoys, and ExplorerPatcher really make Windows good enough.
If only Microsoft Edge webview2 runtime wasn't using so much power in the background. I like my CPU temperature low when I'm not doing anything.
What’s powertoys?
@riffdex google it 😂
they did supposedly integrate AI into Edge. Wouldn't be surprised if that was killing your CPU/running it hot
@@riffdexsome microsoft app that adds features that should be there by default, but are ridiculously slow.
why?
I derped out one night and said "OK" to the free update to 11. This has just solved every damn issue I've had with getting to where I need to be. Mein Gott.
i have not heard that word in years
@@faaridfarooq "derp", damn we back in 2015
This is why I hate modern Windows. Its literally schizophrenic in its design, nothing feels consistent and its horrible
Not enough has changed about desktop operating systems since 2001
Windows 11 is really bad for it though, the only thing that evoles is the how much more schizophrenic the design gets.
@@cynical8330 Have you used Linux?!
Agreed. Windows 2000 was peak Windows IMO.
@@bunnybreakerI thought Win2K was pretty meh, when it started to look like NT.. I prefer Win98se
Thank you for sharing this! A majority of my family had too much of a learning curve when switching to Windows 11, so having this to fall back on for the time being has helped them.
Setting the Start Menu display mode to Start Menu made hitting the Windows key so much more responsive and snappy as it should be. Whereas before, there would be several seconds between hitting the key and the Start menu opening
Just found you, very entertaining and interesting/informative and a great sense of humor and pleasing voice to listen to! Subscribed! Greeting from Austria
Awesome, Happy New Year Logan. Thanks for the revisit tips.
I'm very glad to see a ton of windows 7 options (I think that was the peak of their UI design), the fact that everything on windows 11 seems to just be a convoluted method of opening those windows has been a big pain in the butt.
I used the discount code to activate my windows, by the way! Had no idea you could get the single use OEM keys for cheap.
I never knew the Undertaker made tech videos
Thank you for sharing, I have really been wanting something like this!
Never fail to learn something useful whenever you upload Logan. Cheers
Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!! My number one reason I hated Windows 11 was the inability to expand the Taskbar and this install solved it.
On windows 10 I could have 100 icons on the Taskbar and you can expand the task bar and see them all at once. Now I can do the same with Windows 11. Thank You.
I actually recognized you from your OpenMW video that I watched last year. Was glad to know you are still making videos.
I still think StartAllBack is the way to go. It does these and much more, including theming old modals and panels with a modern dark mode and better animations.
Yes it's paid, but it's one time fee. Also ExplorerPatcher requires constant updates due to its nature and broke on me several times.
Not a Windows user, but I don't mind to pay for software. I mean the developer put a lot of his time into making it, so it's fair to pay him or her. That's why I donate regularly to Linux.
I don't remember what it was, but I found it lacking... and prefer openshell.
I don't have to update it very often. And it thankfully hardly ever breaks lately.
Startisback* is indeed a payed software and easy to use... same as openshell (which was ClassicShell before) and both were payed too and both exist since windows 8... OpenShell is the ClassicShell and opensource version (i think) Startisback is not... Both do the job well i think and i still think OpenShell is pretty good ... Im using Startisback just for the lolz to see how it is... the free version which has a smily face... but anyay since 3 months now and its okay ...
But probably ExplorerPatcher is even better to be honest! i don't know ... seemed so
I was about to comment this. Yeah I appreciate ExplorerPatcher being free and open source but StartAllBack does all of it just better enough for me to actually buy it.
OMG THANK YOU! I like Windows 11 but the context menu and the clock are 2 things I absolutely LOATHED about the system and that fixes it right up, thanks!
I was seriously thinking about using something like this since I just built a new PC using a 14 gen CPU. I would have stayed on win 10 but that damn scheduler forced my hand. Now like you said and it's something I thought about, if there's a win update and it breaks something I really don't want to spend the time fixing things. I'm a set it and forget it kind of ass hat. As I was setting up win 11 I really didn't get lost. Yeah, it's a different way of going about things and typing all the crap out to find what you're looking for is annoying but once I learn it, I think I'll be ok. But after watching these tutorials it is tempting to revert back to the better times lol.
thanks dude :)
haven't seen you streaming on twitch for ages, it would be awesome to see more of the world you were creating
I think I have to quit this if I want to dedicate my time to that... and I'm going to soon.
@@teksyndicate don't burn any bridges eh, good luck whichever route it ends up being though :)
This looks pretty cool, I might end up giving it a try. I ran into this scenario a few weeks ago where I had finally gotten used to daily driving Linux, so switching back to Windows was odd. I used to consider the Windows File Explorer to be really good, but now having tried others, I take back that statement. I ended up finding out that KDE Dolphin is available for Windows, so I just installed that and use it instead since that is my new preferred file explorer.
really ? there is a windows version of dolphin fm ? i almost 13 years if using kde i just find it out
, nice info.
@@radvilardian740 Yeah, I just googled "Dolphin for Windows" hoping for the best, and I was not disappointed lol
Been a while since I saw this channel. Some glorious hair you got there man
awesome vid. thank you sooo much. been looking for something like this. much appreciated
About to install this on my machines. Tired of the nonsense. Thank you for the excellent video!
Thanks for this video, was really needing it
This was an easy save to favoruites for when I inevitably have the fuck around with windows 11 in future. Right now I have a new build functioning perfectly on 10 and long may it perform so. Great vid.
THANK YOU, no seriously thank you. I have been looking for something like this for a while.
Thanks going to install this on my laptop asap. Pretty happy with my custom Win 10 install on my desktop in the meantime.
I swear Google is reading my mind. Literally thinking about this channel and Logan like yesterday and a video pops up in my feed out of nowhere today. I haven't been recommended a Tek Syndicate vid in forever.
Good video. Nice to see we can get the Windows 10 Ribbon interface in windows 11 Explorer. This worked heretofore with a previous version of Patcher on previous builds of Windows 11, then stopped. Nice to see the Patcher scripters have been able to reinstate this untill MS muck it all up again...
The fact that this fixes the taskbar sound button alone from CONSTANTLY breaking or freezing up on me is a godsend! Thank you!
OMG dude, thank you so much. Ive been trying to get rid of the merging tasks crap since my work laptop got updated to w11.
Windows 11 has had the [Show Taskbar Labels ___] for some time now.
I'd much rather prefer the one icon to rule them all versus the Vista "show 12 outlook icons in every place where icons can show" method
Different strokes for different folks.
That's what I'm talking about. Awesome video man, makes for some old school control over the venereal disease that keeps being put onto me.
Heartful thanks for you. I was really annoyed by the windows 11 design and want to switch to windows 10. But your guide helped me to stay on win 11 with help of these settings.
I actually preferred the Windows Vista file Explorer to Windows 7's. The bottom preview pane and original introduction of Libraries was honestly really good on Vista.
Windows 7 backpedaled on libraries a bit, (they're still usable even on 11, but you need to enable and configure it), and 7 moved some stuff around from Vista.
While 7's taskbar was better than Vista, Vista's explorer was just fantastic.
If only these guys could implement some "Windows 6" features. ;x
Vista was so similar to 7... I think people would have loved it if computers had more ram back then.
yeah MS was just jumped the gun to quickly for it lol. Same problem Windows 8 & 8.1.
Vista was great after the second service pack was installed, followed by relaxing some of the settings.
I used Windows vista a lot because of the looks and windows xp just for the performance when i really needed... And when i switched to windows 7 it felt so great! but had lack of somethings that vista had BUT you could enable them ... they were hidden (─‿‿─)
I was searching for a long time about a way to show the ribbon in file explorer like win10 style. I hated upgrading to win11 until I found this helpful software. Many thanks!
I found out about this a few months ago, *never been happier!!!*
My main thing is my main monitor is my creator monitor. I don’t want the task bar on this monitor. I want it on the secondary, but vertical along the left side, and wide enough to show the full date. Like I have since Windows 2000 / XP / 7 / and 10.
I felt the pain u conveyed in ur convo lol. Ure awesome. So thnkful for ppl like u to help others navigate thru the hellish, necessary evil, Orwellian landscape of the Windows Matrix sublevel landscape. We will survive somehow
EPIC VIDEO. THIS MADE MY WINDOWS 11 MORE USABLE NOW. ESPECIALLY WITH USING THE LIBRARY PROGGRAM. THANK YOU SOO MUCH MAN
Microsoft will remove it soon.
I like the cut of you jib. Well done.
The thing that I seriously hate about using Explorerpatcher is that sometimes you get hit with a really bad update and your entire screen is black and explorer.exe never shows up. So frustrating to deal with. Gotta uninstall EP or the update and just troubleshooting it was a pain in general. I'm just gonna stick with auto hiding my taskbar. That was basically my problem so far with W11 since I couldn't have small taskbar.
I cover that at the end of the video. I have it on 5 PCs and it's happened once. It's a very quick fix. Just press ctrl shift esc to bring up the task manager. Run new task. Type "explorer" ... that's it! If that doesn't work, do the same thing but type "control" into the run new task field. That opens control panel where you can uninstall ExplorerPatcher, then start explorer... then go download and update ExplorerPatcher.
@@teksyndicate Too much hassle, not worth it.
i never had an issue with startallback, more features too i think
This is why I don't use apps like this. WindowBlinds was the same way...
@@torguy5763You're watching a video for tools that makes the Windows experience much better and you can't even "Ctrl+Shift+ESC and type 'explorer' " ?! Well good luck finding something else lol
With this I'm considering upgrading finally. Thanks Tek Syndicate
Man df. You literally saved me. I was searching for a way to restore windows 10 calendar because in windows 11 it doesn't even exist while you lose alla of your meetings. You did it i am goings to install this patcher.
Thank you so much for doing this video and the links you shared. Made my life better. Now if I can get the updates to stop. I only use windows 10 for my video editor and few games. The rest of the time I am in Linux or BSD.
I been using Windows Tweaker forever. I used to use Open Shell, I think I'll use it on my Windows 11 PC's, the Win 11 Start Menu is nearly useless compared to the Win 19 Start Menu. Explorer Patcher is going to be added now! Thanks.
EDIT: I meant Win 10 Start Menu, not Win 19!
I like how when you have System settings by itself, as you have it set, the Windows edition still says Windows 10 on the right but Windows 11 Pro on the left lol.
So weird. I used to watch your videos all the time, this is the first one I've seen in ages... Kinda forgot you existed but I immediately recognized you.
Same here. I guess the algorithm stopped recommending videos even though I've been subbed for years. It's good to see this channel again though.
I was loosing my mind over the contextual menu thing. What a blunder of a change by Microsoft. It added an extra unnecessary step to so many things and went against the grain of decades of built up muscle memory. I'm so glad I finally found a way to disable it. I haven't been this annoyed with windows since they tried to get rid of the start menu.
One of the good recommended videos I've got. Windows has been killing me and now I find it to be much more usable. I personally prefer Linux, but not a single goddamn software that I use professionally is available or properly supported on Linux lol. Anyways thanks man!
You forgot the best feature...now my calendar finally pops out!!! Thanks for sharing
Winaero Tweaker has a TON more options but, there's a couple things in ExplorerPatcher it doesn't have, mainly for Windows 11. It's ok to use both. 👍
thank you. i have seen others who have purchased Win 11 computers and when i work on them i hate it! i can barely stand Win 10 but at least it had a updates i found to be useful. but so far i have not purchased a new Win 11 computer purely because i despise the OS revisions. nothing useful was added and all the controls i am used to or liked seeing in a condensed form have been spread out over multiple pages. i thought these bad updates would be gone once steve balmer left the company. so thanks for pointing out the'work arounds,' something any serious computer user will need.
nice video man, thanks!
yes i run this similar as your settings and Atlas . i only got back to windows 11 days ago when i noticed Atlas works with it . great so far .
I've been dragged kicking and screaming into Windows two-digits, thanks for making the change easier on my retro infused brain.
This is great! More github stuff plz!!!
I used to be a windows user for decades, but switched to MacOS a year ago. I was that guy customizing his desktop with rainmeter, customizing windows with PowerToys, that guy in insider program while I had no interest into that, just to experiment things quicker.
I'm happier on MacOS, I feel really productive and less focused on making things more practical. I don't spend time anymore on customizing my computer, I miss that a lot but I'm really more productive. I don't have access to the majority of the games available on windows, but everything is smooth, snappy and stable.
I'm really happy to see what Windows becomes since Windows 11, even though I'm not on the boat anymore. I'm a developer, I wish I could dualboot windows on my mac, Windows never felt that "MacOS-ish" than right now.
Thank you for a tool i didnt realize i needed
Cool, will look into open shell also
I've just about had it with Windows, I will be looking hard at Linux. Windows voided a pc I have activation because I upgraded the ram. I get a "PC's hardware has changed message." I can't do anything about it unless I create a user account & sign in. I don't want to. No more with the "I pay you money and you still track/data mine me endlessly" model.
True. Hopefully I'll be trying out Linux Mint this year. A lot of people recommend that one for beginners.
@@mopeyblokeMint is great for beginners, but it's running some older stuff for the sake of ease of use and stability. It's usually not a problem, unless you wanna do stuff like use two monitors with different refresh rates or use g-sync / freesync. If Mint handled all of that well it'd be an unambiguous recommendation, but it looks like it will take until 2025 at the earliest for it to get there.
If you're a bit of a power user who's not afraid of the command line and are willing to read instructions and / or talk to people to get help, you might consider Nobara Linux instead. Comes with a lot of patches to make gaming and peripherals work well right off the bat, and is run by effectively *the* guy who's at the forefront of making games run well on Linux.
Thanks for the video.
I fixed all but one of my Windows 10/11 problems, I installed Linux Mint Cinnamon, so far all games that have been installed work great, 2077 even gets more fps on Mint.
The only problem to solve is modding Skyrim and Fallout NV using Heroic Games Launcher.
The trick there is that each thing installed in heroic has its own wine (proton) prefix(fake windows install), usually in a place like ~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/. You need to run the modding tools within the same prefix as the game. I think Heroic has an option in the game's advanced settings to run programs within its prefix. If not, you can run in specific prefixes from command line, but there's a reason I use protontricks to launch them for steam games.
The other issue you might have is some mods might rely on dll injection. For instance, all the mods for Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun that fix the graphics so it'll run on modern hardware require overriding ddraw.dll. On windows, this is as simple as dropping it in the game folder, but with wine/proton, you have to tell it *not* to use the wine version of ddraw.dll, which is in the wine configuration for the prefix.
Thanks for the vid.
I like the start menu in the middle to avoid burn-in. As the number of icons grows and shrinks, they all change position. Less static position == less monitor burn in.
You on a CRT or OLED? That is a good point
This is really cool. TY
I have (almost) no issues with windows 11, got used to it after using it for a while.
But having options is a good thing, this is neat.
Thanks for this. Gonna use this once I update to Windows 11.
Thanks man! I’m glad you are still putting out content.
this is what ive lookin for, this would make w11 perfect, thanks.
I LOVE THIS, THANKS :D
I've been using the Windows 10 start menu on 11, and found absolutely no problems with it... works just fine.
I've used explorer patcher for a few years but had to stop using is because when it crashes it deletes all of my application shortcuts from the taskbar. In the words of Worf when Locutus asked, "Why do you resist the Borg? We only wish to raise quality of life." Worf: 'I like my species the way it is."
The most important thing is the win10 taskbar that can be put vertically - if you have 2 monitor setup it's just so convenient to have the tasbar on the side "between" your screens. They removed the ability to do this for no reason in win11
Good stuff, its TweakUI for Win 11. :D
Thank you! you have a new subscriber
Awesome, you are a life saver!🙏👍🤠🇦🇺
It's funny how you say 'fix' for things that are 'not broken' just because they're different from before. I agree that there should be a settings page somewhere to easily change it back in Windows itself, but anyway...
I tried the new things with Windows 11 over a year ago and found they're really not bad. I've been using my PC without any hassle since then, without any modifications. Well, that's not entirely true; I did put the Start menu where it belongs using the settings in Windows for that-no need to use third-party software.
If Microsoft never changes anything in Windows, people say Windows is a sh#t OS, and they're moving to Linux or buying a Mac. Then when Microsoft makes a few changes, the same people say Windows is a sh#t OS, and they're moving to Linux or buying a Mac. Go figure. I guess people are hard to please.
But nice video, easy to follow and you show what every change you making is doing in Windows.
TY so much. This is the last harbour for one who wants to get out of window's patronizing and infantalizing you (and still is using it).
awesome tutorial!
never been happier to get to know explorerpatcher, even though I still use win 10, it just fix some of my known problem on settings things
Curious how this would be beneficial on 2016 Server/Core. I'm one of those guys that stuck to 2003/2008/2012/2016 until Win10 because I didn't want Vista, didn't like nor could navigate 7, needed to avoid the consumer bloat of 8/8.1 and am kind of okay with 10 now that it's a bit more stable. I'm not a fan of Win11 and will probably need this if I hop to 2022 since it's probably going to be the only tool that addresses the nasty Explorer memory leaks.
13:12 "This is the underbelly of the computer. This is where I need to be, as a power user. I don't need to mess around, with those bubbly apps".
I might consider adding a batch file on the desktop that launches explorer in case those crashes were too inconvenient.
I'm curious if you'll ever try a Linux desktop and document it on your chanel, I feel that it aligns well with your philosophy. Customization, usability, long term support, open source with little to no corpo bs, heck if you have a decent rig you can just run most games on steam these days on linux (through proton) and most emulators (specially retroarch) just work natively on linux.
I was about to ask in the comments if you were a Vampire, but then you admitted to it in the video. Fair play, sir.
Thank you, great tool, couldn't do it yet.
If all you want is the context menu changed, there's a Registry tweak for that. Also, they don't have a Windows 7 style for the Start Menu. That was that last version of Windows that had a good Start Menu design.
I prefer to avoid registry tweaks when possible... they are more difficult to fix after updates than this is. As for the start menu... we always have openshell to give us that Windows 7 style still.
This is awesome! Thank you!
This will keep me from having to switch to Linux for a while. Thanx!
This is a really cool tool, and I'm glad it exists for those who want it. However, almost nothing in this video changed anything about Windows that changed it so fundamentally that it could be seen as "unusable" before. The normal System menu shows all the same information that the old one does for example, it's just preference. This is more about how older users of Windows want to go back to the old days. There's nothing wrong with that, and I guess in a way that's what "usable" means to some people. However, it sort of also implies that W11 or 10 are somehow fundamentally broken in some way that this fixes which isn't really the case here. It's an interesting piece of software nonetheless.
stop this.
One thing I do wish was part of this is the ability to have the windows 11 file explorer while bringing back the ability to drag files to previous folders in the path. I like having multiple tabs but makes it annoying having to constantly switch folders.
Wouldn't it be nice if the ExplorerPatcher had a button for setting all configuration switches to the "Windows 10" style setting? So anyone upgrading from Win 10 to 11 would instantly get a desktop that looks as much as the old one as possible, without having to change dozens of settings manually.
haha you're hilarious. And intelligent. And interesting to listen to. Thank you for this info : )
Thanks for this.
Cool, I have a nostalgia about this, as I remember there were similar programs for windows 98 and windows xp. Tweakers or so they called.
Too bad I do not use windows anymore = )
But cool, that such programs exists. I would definitely use one, if... well, I used windows these days.
please release a review of all popular programs that help change Windows 11 and compare them (Sophia-Script-for-Windows/SophiApp; hellzerg
optimizer etc).And not only visually changing the appearance but also programs that effectively disable spying telemetry, as effective as a firewall. And what to do if a very smart Windows Defender is so smart that it deletes files that are saved
I use a program called Start 11 which modifies the Start button and Taskbar. Would this program conflict with that?
i use both seen no issues
@@jasonhillonecool thanks
Excellent app. I remember first buying it when it was start 8. It perfectly returned the 7 style start menu to win 8 and allowed you to boot straight to windows desktop rather than the full screen nonsense that win 8 forced you to boot to in the early releases.
Did they bring over pieces of Windows 10, or did they have to recode stuff from scratch, or are some of these features still there and hidden in Windows 11, but locked away?
I'd like to see some XP UI options available on Win 10 or 11. I preferred XP's task bar shortcuts and XP's custom sound themes namely the Start Window and Exit Windows custom sounds.
Hey Logan, love you :] xoxo
Give me back my Vista Aero Glass theme Microsoft!
Wow, this was excellent sir, thank you.
SUBSCRIBED!
having all of this stuff inside of windows really makes me understand why windows takes over 100 gbs
Here's a good program: AltDrag
No need to aim for the tiny bar at the top anymore, or the tiny edges to resize. Just hold alt, then use mb1 on anywhere in your window then drag it around, and then use mb2 anywhere on the window to resize it.
