Tested on OS builds 19045.4598, 22621.3296, 22621.3810, 26120.961, and 26244.5000. (Note: 22621 and 22631 share the same OS files)

1

• Taskbar10: Introduced a new taskbar implementation: Windows 10 (ExplorerPatcher). (146070d, 0b86e55)
  • You can try this implementation out by changing the "Taskbar style" to "Windows 10 (ExplorerPatcher)".
  • For now, this is only available for builds 22621, 22631, and 22635. Other builds will not have the option.
  • Refer to this wiki article for more information including important ones.

2

• Taskbar10: Due to false positive antivirus detections, the new taskbar implementation is no longer bundled in the setup program. (48c2a75)
  • If you want to use the new taskbar implementation, you can download the appropriate DLL for your system from the Releases page of its releases repository, and then manually putting it in C:\Program Files\ExplorerPatcher without the architecture specifier.
  • For example, for 226xx builds on x64-based systems, download ep_taskbar.2.amd64.dll, rename to ep_taskbar.2.dll, and lastly put it in C:\Program Files\ExplorerPatcher.

3

• Introduced support for ARM64 devices. (992b3a6, 2e4e4f5, b76c0e4, c9884b2, 57f63ad, 78788ec, 4799b4b, 5d0d218)
  • These builds are only tested on and made to work with 24H2 ARM64 builds. Older ARM64 Windows versions than 24H2 may not work as expected.
  • An ARM64 device to support the making and testing of ARM64 builds is not cheap, so please consider donating @Amrsatrio via Ko-fi to recoup the costs.
• Added an "Update now" button into update notifications for easier updating. (2b9c747, 8c16a9a)
• Revised how files are packed in ep_setup for smaller size and easier maintenance. (30579b0, b253625, 04fd2b7, db54ce9, 126c024, c0201ff)
• EP's taskbar implementation for 24H2 is now available in its releases repository, as ep_taskbar.5.dll. If you want to try this out, follow the steps explained above.

Please consult the README for more details. A detailed change log is available here. An archive containing all the files generated during the build process (including dxgi.dll and symbol files) is available here.
