madhale Posted September 18 ID:1661829 Share Posted September 18 In the latest Windows update, they have started flagging Explorer Patcher as an unwanted hack. This program is NOT malware and is NOT a virus. The file is: EP_SETUP.EXE Malwarebytes is also detecting the registry entry as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time I think ExplorerPatcher, which works as a Windows Explorer Shell Extension, is not a HackTool and it should not be classified as one. It makes Windows 11 almost bearable.
