Comment on Microsoft is blocking Windows Customization Tools

They’re not exactly “being blocked” but rather the legacy ability to tell explorer.exe to load the older style Taskbar, which those apps load then modify, is going away. I’m not defending this nor do I like it, but it would be like saying some Linux distro is BLOCKING customization because some legacy app dependent on Xorg will not work after they switch to Wayland.

Simply renaming the executable works to re-enable Start All Back. They are being intentionally blocked by Microsoft.

Not if you’re using the preview build, where the entirely functionality is removed. The warning is just a preemptive preparation for beta users. The bottom of the article indirectly mentions this.
But sure, downvote me.

sounds like a 21st century version of quack.exe.

They are, to the best of Microsoft security professionals’ abilities
Just kidding, they are probably sabotaging this asshole move
