no longer access the ExplorerPatcher settings

[dtmaster79]

After Windows Restart I can no longer access the ExplorerPatcher settings. Every time I right click on the taskbar it restarts. But I can only get into the settings by right-clicking. For updates etc. I find this to be a bit of a stupid solution.

Can you not access it from the Start Menu or Windows Search?

mentioned here: #2051

to run the explorer patcher properties application, run this from the run menu:
C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe "C:\Program Files\ExplorerPatcher\ExplorerPatcher.amd64.dll",ZZGUI

Possible fixes:

1. In ExplorerPatcher Properties, go to Advanced and tick Do not change the taskbar context menu
2. In ExplorerPatcher Properties, go to File Explorer and untick Disable the windows 11 context menu
3. In ExplorerPatcher Properties, go to Taskbar and set Taskbar style to Windows 11

The run command worked for me but none of the 3 fixes worked for me.

You tried all 3 fixes at once?

I used all of these, however, now I cannot access the settings using the taskbar or the win+x shortcut. When the win+x shortcut is enabled, I still do not see the option appear on the menu

Sorry, try this:

In ExplorerPatcher Properties, go to Advanced and untick Do not change the taskbar context menu - there should be an X beside it

You should then see properties when you right click on the taskbar. However it was never added to the windows key + X menu.
