Windows 11 Explorer as RunAsTI

[he3als]

When opening the Windows 11 Explorer with RunAsTI (e.g. right clicking on a folder and clicking 'Open as TrustedInstaller'), there's now quite a few issues in the latest versions.

• Right clicking crashes
• Resizing the window doesn't resize the elements inside (like the folder view)
• Closing the ribbon doesn't work

However, running control with RunAsTI and then pressing the up arrow in the toolbar completely fixes this, and you can use Explorer as normal.

It's infuriating what they have done to fix the winlogon as system bug
(spoiler: they did not even fix it)
And now you cant run explorer normally as TI, you can't run the freaking Terminal normally as TI and so on. All their execution aliases processing is also flawed.
Will have to see what can be done.

Have there been any developments regarding this? I think it happens due to file VC++ extension libraries not loading from Windows\SystemApps directory when explorer is running as TI. I think so because removing those libraries manually or removing the entire File Explorer Extensions package via DISM results in identical glitchy behavior when running explorer normally, as user and/or administrator.

The only way around it is by running a different version of explorer (like the "No Tabs" one from Winaero Tweaker).

I was correct. If Explorer File Extension SystemApp is removed correctly with DISM and related library is prevented from loading via registry tweak, then RunAsTI works perfectly in Windows 11.
