Overall I think in the future it would be great to find a solution to be able to run UWP apps in Windows 10 and 11 with explorer7. The inability to run them is the only thing that currently blocks me from daily use of explorer7, and I think it is the same for many users. Additionally, a solution to this issue would work for all alternative shells (Progmanx64, CairoShell, WinxShell, ReactOSExplorer, other future ported old versions of explorer, LiteStep, EmergeDesktop, bblean...).

We're going to look into UWP support once we get it roughly stable on most Windows versions. No guarantees though. |

Running ShellAppRuntime.exe on Windows 10 and 11 allows running UWP/Immersive stuff without running explorer.exe. Since it also creates a dummy desktop window, you have to bypass the explorer7's already running shell check with the following Windhawk mod to run explorer7 along with ShellAppRuntime (edit line 19 to your explorer7's path). {Code}

There are currently many problems tho, such as ShellAppRuntime bringing lots of UWP/Immersive garbage, such as the Start Menu, Search, Alt Tab, and so on. Former two can be removed by renaming StartMenuExperienceHost and SearchApp. Also somehow explorer7's desktop window is not bottommost. Attachments:

It is running on windows 1022h2 and so far it runs much more stable and faster than the windows 11 mods i did use so far. Im almost thinking about removing windows 11 and wait until milestone 3 of this project is reached as it is damn stable.  |

Does Windows 8.1 uses different method with opening metro stuff with explorer.exe? As it seems ShellAppRuntime is more an Windows 10/11 thing. ShellAppRuntime is a new thing in Windows 11 that got backported to Windows 10 with Windows Update. Normally, explorer.exe serves as some kind of "metro host" since Win8, but MSFT added ShellAppRuntime as an alternative "metro host" to Win11 and 10. There is also CustomShellHost.exe that also works as the "metro host" but it's only for Assigned Access accounts. It won't run on normal accounts. I think implementing the "metro host" feature to explorer7 would be the best way to support UWPs. (Maybe it's some function in a dll?) For reference, destroying ShellAppRuntime's Progman window with SystemInformer caused UWPs to not display anymore. |

Does Windows 8.1 uses different method with opening metro stuff with explorer.exe? As it seems ShellAppRuntime is more an Windows 10/11 thing. In Windows 8.1, Metro apps are run directly from Explorer. While this may not seem impossible, it may be much harder to run these apps without Explorer. And the utility of getting this is lower: in Windows 8.1, Metro apps are frankly useless; there are few of them and they run full screen. All newer UWP apps are generally not compatible with Windows 8.1. The only interest in getting this may be in the future, if a kernel extension for Windows 8.1 appears.

This will be explored later on into development after stability improvements, though I'm absolutely certain we must also give people the choice (likely via registry) to 100% disable it when we do get around to adding it (after ironing everything else out), for those who still do want a pure Win32 experience. |

If I understand correctly, it would be nice to be able to get some kind of debloated ShellAppRuntime. I guess the ideal would be to be able to run Metro/UWP apps without needing to set ShellAppRuntime as a shell. |

Yes, it goes without saying that giving users choice is the most important thing. Personally, I already use a kind of pure Win32 experience, I just keep the possibility to run a UWP application, the same way I would run a Linux (WSL) or DOS (NTVDMx64) program. What I mean by that is that I do not use any UWP application on a daily basis, nor any UWP system applet. |

I have found the registry key that restores the connection between the Start Menu and the Notification Area icons. Please test this in a virtual machine. The notification area icons from Windows 7 are being loaded, which is why the Start page does not work. |
