Description

After the recent update of explorer patcher and restoration of the regedit entry "Start_ShowClassicMode", the registry that activates the old Windows 10 notification and action center works again whose path is the following: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Control Center", whose dword is: "UseLiteLayout", but what is the detail, the Windows 10 Wifi/Internet flyout is broken, it would be good if it could be solved, since another registry works again, restoring a functionality of Windows 10 to Windows 11. image image image
