After uninstall of Explorer Patcher, clicking taskbar icons doesn't bring the opened programs window to the front

[anmatika]

I just uninstalled ExplorerPatcher since it stopped working after a recent Windows 11 update.

Now I have an issue with already opened taskbar programs. By clicking the icon the "app" is not brought to the front. Nothing basically happens and I have to Alt + Tab to bring it to the front.

Could this be because of ExplorerPatcher I had installed?

I've opened an issue on StackExhange
but since this issue might have derived from ExplorerPatcher would like to open a discussion here as well.
