  1. ExplorerPatcher

    This project aims to enhance the working environment on Windows

    Well, there are features missing.

    Given how every monitor in existence is wide , it's super odd you can't drag the taskbar to the side, it's bottom only. https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-explains-why-you-ca...

    The Win 11 context menu is just irritating, it displays a lot of unnecessary things and the "real" context menu is hidden under "show more options"

    You can see much more at https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/ -- and this project fixes them, too.

  3. WSAPatch

    Make WSA(Windows Subsystem for Android) run on Windows 10.

  4. wsl-vpnkit

    Provides network connectivity to WSL 2 when blocked by VPN

    If it works at all like WSL, you might want to look at wsl-vpnkit.

    https://github.com/sakai135/wsl-vpnkit

    It's not a proxy, but would give some idea how to shim into the middle.

  5. WSA-Magisk

    Discontinued A custom Windows Subsystem for Android with GApps, Magisk and KernelSU

    I was reading the linked repo in step 2 <https://github.com/LSPosed/MagiskOnWSALocal#magisk-on-wsa-wi...> and saw this message, which seems like utter nonsense:

    > For fork developers: Please don't build using GitHub Actions, as GitHub will count your forked GitHub Actions usage against this upstream repository, which may cause this upstream repository gets disabled by GitHub staff like MagiskOnWSA because of numerous forks building GitHub Actions, and counting the forks' Action usage against this upstream repository.

    is that even remotely true?

    If there's any "disabled by GitHub staff" going on, it's likely due to DMCA nonsense, not due to forks having their GitHub Actions billed against the upstream repo. Related to that, I'm surprised to see the submitted repo distribute icu.dll and winhttp.dll, versus telling interested parties to extract them out of the Win11 ISO. I bet Microsoft won't bother striking the repo over to random dlls but why roll the dice?

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
