Try the following:

2. delete the registry key: "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ExplorerPatcher"
3. reboot
4. Install the july update: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/topic/july-11-2023-kb5028185-os-build-22621-1992-605fa18f-bd49-41d8-80b1-245080e26c3d
5. reboot when it prompts you to
6. do not install any update labeled as preview as those are not supported by explorer patcher
7. install explorer patcher
8. verify you get a notification that symbols have been downloaded
9. restart windows explorer using either the task manager or in the properties window of explorer patcher
10. reboot

Then apply your settings again in explorer patcher to see if it fixes it.

The console log output still does not have the symbol download log, as shown in the figure above. However, after reinstalling, I can use the start menu of Win10, which is amazing
