No internet icon in taskbar

[Gazdok1]

Before reporting your issue

• I have confirmed that this issue does not happen when ExplorerPatcher is not installed
• I do not have "register as shell extension" enabled
• I have tried my best to check existing issues

Repro ExplorerPatcher versions

I am not seeing the internet icon in EP anymore.
It is there - see attached picture - before EP is fully loaded and disappears in the windows 10 taskbar style. I do see the icon in the not so nice windows 11 style.

Repro Windows Versions

Windows 11 Pro
25H2

3rd party tweak software installed

Classic start menu

Describe the bug

As above.
Internet icon present before EP loads and also in windows 11 style.Present

Expected outcome

Can the icon be reimplemented in the windows 10 style.

Actual outcome

Not sure what to put in here.

Please post windows version and build. You can find this by running winver. Please include if you are running x86-64 or Arm. And what language your windows is in.
Please post explorer patcher version, by running EP properties application and click on About on the left side.

Hi,

I have attached 2 screen shots.
I am running Windows 11 pro x64 in english.

Thank you.

If you have classic shell installed, uninstall it. That is no longer maintained.

The replacement is open shell.

Hi,

I have uninstalled Classic Shell and instead installed Open Shell and restarted EP, but the internet icon is not back yet.

Please wait for a developer to respond.

Just try to completly uninstall Open Shell and retry...

[Panzimy]

I don't think that Open shell/Classic shell is compatibile with EP

[pyrates999]

Yes, open shell is compatible with EP. Stop speculating.

[Panzimy]

OK, sorry I looked on the OpenShell wiki on the net and everywhere i got an idea, but I didn't found any compatibility/incompability info... :-(

Thank you. Now please wait for a developer to respond.
