How to find out what product is controlling my taskbar settings

from Stardock Forums

Hi:

I just installed Start11 V2 and have a question about taskbar settings.  I was using Start11 V1 and thought that it was controlling my taskbar settings.  However, when I have tried to change the taskbar settings in V2, I get a message that "Another product" is controlling my taskbar. There does not seem to be an easy way to find out what that other product is or how to disable it so I can control those setting with Srat11 V2.  Do you have any suggestions for me?

Thanks.

If you close the config and reopen it does it still say the same?

The most likely app would be ExplorerPatcher

Hi Neil:

Thanks for the tip.  Yes, it continues to give me that message - in red, no less.  I found some help with uninstalling Explorer Patcher at https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/discussions/1345, but that doesn't seem to have helped.  Since the message doesn't give me a hint as to what app might be managing Taskbar button, I'm at a loss as to how to diagnose that. I found ExplorerPatcher in c:/Program Files/ExplorerPatcher but the exe file is labelled ep_dwm.exe.

Any other ideas?
