@casey I think open-shell will be ok because it's not just restoring legacy code that is still in windows. It's a new shell (if I understand how it works correctly). This is why Start11 also works. They don't rely on any of the legacy systems in Windows 11... But explorer patcher is broken because lots of the functionality they were restoring has been removed from the latest version of the OS. So, hopefully devs will start working on alternative shells... it'll be more difficult because it's all closed-source... but still.
