Microsoft Cracks Down on Windows 11 Customization Apps, But Workarounds Exist
- Microsoft has disabled some third-party customization apps in Windows 11 v24H2, citing security/stability reasons
- Apps like StartAllBack and ExplorerPatcher affected; provide Windows 10-style interface
- Easy workaround by just renaming exe file, but more aggressive blocks may come
- Microsoft could address reluctance to upgrade by providing native customization options
- Unclear if blocks will remain when Windows 11 v24H2 officially launches
