Explorer not Working, Desktop black screen

[impeeza]

Hi, after installing patch KB5026446 on Windows 11 22H2 Build 22621.1778 the desktop becomes a black screen, no wallpaper, no start menu, no taskbar, after removing ExplorerPatcher using ep_setup.exe /Uninstall all work fine.

Installing latest version 22621.1555.55.2 of Explorer Patcher the problem comes back again.

The KB upgrade explorer.exe file.

Its supposed the issues section is not for support but the solution is on:
#1487
#1434

you must to delete the keys HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ExtendOffice

The problem seems to be the registry keys "Start_MaximumFrequentApps" & "StartUI_ShowMoreTiles"

Before the key was

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ExplorerPatcher]
"Start_MaximumFrequentApps"=dword:0001869f
"StartUI_ShowMoreTiles"=dword:00000001

but after deleting the keys and reinstall ExplorerPatcher the keys are created as:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ExplorerPatcher]
"Start_MaximumFrequentApps"=hex(18):9f,86,01,00
"StartUI_ShowMoreTiles"=hex(18):01,00,00,00

may be the hex dword difference can crash the ExplorerPatcher
