Windows 10: Why ExplorerPatcher is breaking Windows 11?

A while ago I was using Windows 11 21H2 and everything was fine, it even had more performance than the most recent version of Windows 10 at the time.

Windows 10 Pro and Ergnomic Break Reminder

Hi,



Apologies for the late reply.



Do you remember installing any break reminder software?



It looks like it is a pop up from a break reminder software.



I suggest you to look for this in Programs in features and uninstall it if do not use it.



Try the following steps:

• 
  Press Windows + R keys to open Run Command
  
• 
  Type Appwiz.cpl and hit enter
  
• 
  Search for the programs and un-install it.
  

Regards,

Ungrouping Taskbar items, like many taskbar functionalities, is not available in Windows 11, yet.
