Fix Explorer Crash Loop without Admin rights in Safe Mode

[citizen-gh]

Hi all, I have installed in 2022 ExplorerPatcher after a forced update to Windows 11 on my employers workstation.
Normally I have Admin rights but with BeyondTrust access elevation dialogue. No clue which version it was, I think sometime in August.
Last Friday after windows updates the Desktop/Explorer started crashing and restarting in endless loop. I though I might fix it in safe mode. However this got things even worse. In safe mode BeyondTrust doesn't display the admin rights elevation dialogue, hence no admin rights available. Now I can't even leave the safe mode, because without admin rights (BeyondTrust dialogue not being displayed) I can't edit msconfig. Also cmd:/bcedit doesn't work.

The laptop has bitlocker, but I have the recovery key. I have attached the SSD to another PC and renamed both ExplorerPatcher folders (in Program Files and in my User/Roaming), however explorer still crashes, which I assume is because the Registry has some ExplorerPatcher entries which need to be edited or removed. Can someone tell me how can I fix this issue? Should I edit the registry and which entries to remove to stop explorer from crashing? That's the only option I see before

Thank you in advance

see here for a possible answer: #1345

But after that, you still need to properly uninstall explorer patcher using admin rights.

Thank you! The specific step was to rename dxgi.dll which made the explorer function again and the desktop loaded normally.
However, I have now a different problem, because I can't boot back into normal mode due to BeyondTrust not woking in safe mode. But this is a BeyondTrust issue now. :)

Please mark it as the answer then.
