Microsoft blocks even more customization apps in Windows 11 version 24H2
www.neowin.net
Microsoft appears to be blocking even more apps for customizing the user interface in Windows 11 24H2. Users noticed that ExplorerPatcher joined the recently blocked StartAllBack app.

TLDR: StartAllBack, ExplorerPatcher and some other projects are being blocked on 24H2.

One more reason to switch to Linux

    Usually just VirtualBox VM’s – i’ve never touched WSL except for the original version way back in the 90’s I think.

      I can’t even use virtual box at work, every time anyone downloads it, Oracle sics their licensing trolls at us, ignoring the fact that it’s free for all outside of the extension pack

      I’m STILL pissed off that Oracle bought Sun

        Are you guys installing the extension pack? That’s when the licensing weenies get to work. My old job ended up blocking oracle.com which was really fun for trying to read java docs. I would have to set up an ssh tunnel to my home server in order to download vbox release.

          When i first started there, I did, just out of habit, but when i was approached about it, I removed it without hesitation… Never did download it or install it again, but every time i downloaded the main program, within a day I’d get someone saying Oracle was coming after us again and ultimately we just stopped allowing it altogether because having to deal with Oracle’s bullshit just wasn’t worth it, I’d rather pay VMware than deal with Oracle’s bullshit for a free product that they can’t figure out their own license for

          Well… Now VMware is owned by Broadcom and is apparently being dismantled from the inside so i may be looking for a third option soon (that isn’t HyperV… It works fine but I’ve always found it hit or miss for Linux, which is like 100% of what I virtualize on my desktop)
