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

One more reason to switch to Linux

Microsoft blocks app with major security and performance concerns from Russian dev.

Fixed that headline for ya, big guy.

Hmm. Russia or Russian programmers were not in the article. The only reason was performance:

It is possible that Microsoft blocked those apps due to a higher number of crashes on build 26100, which is allegedly version 24H2 RTM build.

You realize you can get info from other sources right? Not just this one article?

Site your source

What? You can't do simple research now?

Dyor. This is Lemmy, not reddit.

Regardless, always cite source

[–] anon987 -5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

What's your source on that? That you always have to cite source? Not a rule on lemmy.

Checked your comment history, you make many claims and cite no sources. So what is this really about?

Seems like you want to argue for the sake of arguing.

Good luck my bro

Thanks for the link, but I still do not see where it says "Microsoft blocked apps because of Russian dev."

The dev says that it's related to depreciated features, not the country of origin:

Well, this has to do with myriad feature flags around copilot and working area hacks MS is doing. But generally classic taskbar is dead code and 24H2 is going bring only degradations and pain.
