open shell and multiple desktop on windows 11

[axolotus]

Hi,
I've installed Open Shell 4.4.191 on Windows 11, but I'm unable to use the "View Task" icon to launch multiple desktops. Can I use Open Shell with multiple desktops, or is there a bug?
Thank you for your help.

What exactly doesn't work for you?
Can you provide aby steps for what you are trying to do?
Eventually some screenshots for clarification?

Can I use Open Shell with multiple desktops, or is there a bug?

I'm able to click on Task view button, add virtual desktops and switch between them on Windows 11 22H2 with Open-Shell 4,4,191 without aby problem. So I'd say it is supposed to work.

What Windows 11 version do you have?

Hi,
Thank you for your prompt response.
I'm using Windows 11 22H2, and I have Open Shell 4.4.191 installed.

When Open Shell is not installed, I have the correct icon for the task view, and I can open multiple desktops. However, when I install Open Shell, the icon looks like the Windows 10 icon, and I am unable to launch multiple desktops.
I've attached a screenshot of the icon I'm referring to.

That's pretty weird. Open-Shell is not supposed to change taskbar icons.

Do you use other customization software, like ExplorerPatcher?
Does the issue go away when you exit Open-Shell (right-click on start button and Exit)?

Hi,

Excuse me. I made a mistake. I thought it was related to OpenShell. Yes, I installed ExplorerPatcher. OpenShell works perfectly.
Thank you for your valuable assistance. Everything is back to normal.
