MagiskOnWSA VS ExplorerPatcher

I installed WSA from here (now it has been taken down) because I got Win 11 for WSA and Microsoft wasn't giving me it even half year after Win11 release so I installed it from github. Now I want to update however Idk how to do it

https://github.com/LSPosed/MagiskOnWSA here you go.

Yesterday I updated my existing installation to 2206.40000.15.0 by running the Install.ps1 file of the extracted LSPosed/MagiskOnWSA and it works fine here.

Until then, WSA doesn't not support GApps and Google doesn't not support WSA so LSPosed/MagiskOnWSA will do for the time being. As long as the users have choice on the matter (as in what's running on their own computers) it's fine by me.

If you're fine with sideloading the WSA app on your own then you can have GApps & remove Amazon Store from WSA (if you don't trust GitHub for some reason with your WSA system then use the script locally/run the action locally on a Linux system. Hint: r/bashonubuntuonwindows).

this has worked the best for me, scroll down and follow the video guide in the readme. https://github.com/LSPosed/MagiskOnWSA

Pro Tip: Instead of the standard WSA, install this modified Magisk WSA. It's set up in 10 minutes and gives you Google Play Services :)

You can use https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher to change the hotkey

> Windows 11 brings absolutely nothing on the table

It also removes a leg from the table, the one labelled 'usability'.

Attaching a 3rd-party leg to fill the gap helps (https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher), but it's not an ideal solution

ExplorerPatcher

I had more problems with it being wide, merging all app windows in a single icon, showing only icon rather then app title, and not being able to move to top of screen

That may be fixed with https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher which restores win10 bar, there's no builtin solution to any of the above afaik

Thanks for letting me know. I looked into it, and apparently it's still even possible to activate on later versions of Windows with registry edits and helper software: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/discussions/167

Not going to install something that seems so vague, but I do use ExplorerPatcher [1] on my Windows 11 machines to basically re-create Windows 10 UI and fix all of the annoyances I have with Windows 11. I've got the old right click menu, the old task bar, the old alt-tab interface, pretty much the whole thing. Only reason I use Windows 11 over Windows 10 is because Windows 11 seems to handle my triple monitor setup better, especially when waking up from sleep.
