Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with ExplorerPatcher installed and the latest Windows 11 update, then compare behavior after uninstalling that update. The issue does not mention a source file, failing test, update identifier, logs, or crash dump, so the first task is to identify the affected ExplorerPatcher component and define a reproducible fix.
