[22635.3420] When Windows 10 Start menu style is selected, the Windows 11 Start menu appears instead.

[Amrsatrio]

Windows version: 22635.3420 (Beta channel)
EP version: 64.2

Steps to reproduce

1. Install all updates up to 22635.3420.
2. Install ExplorerPatcher version 64.2.
3. Open ExplorerPatcher's Properties window.
4. Go to Start menu section.
5. Set Start menu style to Windows 10.
6. Restart Explorer.
7. Open the start menu.
8. Observe that the 11 menu is shown instead of the 10 one.

Additional information

Upon investigating further, I've seen that 3420's StartMenuExperienceHost.exe no longer has the Windows PPI edition check that uses GetProductInfo which is intercepted by EP to enable the old menu. More intricate patches are needed to restore the Windows 10 start menu on this build onwards.

that's an insider preview: https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2024/03/29/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-22635-3420-beta-channel/

Yep, I am posting this myself so that everyone including me is aware on this. I've clearly added (Beta channel) to indicate that it's a Beta build.

Critical issues in 22621-based builds like those in Beta and RP cannot be taken lightly as for this case it only takes a week or two for the issue to appear on broader channels like Release Preview or even Release, which would impact our reputation.

Oh I didn't even notice it was you posting it lol

Same for me, surprised to find win11 theme startup after updating my OS

Might be related to this: #3053

@pyrates999 No, this is unrelated to that.

Made a new prerelease that should allow the 10 menu to show up again, but pin to start is now broken yet again:

64.2 seems to solve the issue, but there is also another regression when using win10 taskbar. The button that handle sound is missing. I get the one from network, the locale for keyboad, a cog button then the hour.
This wasn't the case before updating windows.

Hi @pseudo555, please file a separate issue complete with the details. I've never encountered this issue even in latest Canary/24H2 builds.

Fix is live in the newly built latest release of EP, version 65.2. Further issues like this will be closed immediately without any explanations.
