On Win11, 23h2 the Win11-style tray flyouts of Wi-Fi and language switcher do not work on Win10 taskbar
If to select Win11 (default) Wi-Fi and language flyouts, they do not appear when using the Win10 taskbar.
The Win10-style flyouts work well.
This in on Windows build 23h2 (22631). On 21h2 (22000) all works well. If these flyouts are not available, meybe it is better to remove these options?
EP version: 64.1.

Sorry, closed the wrong issue.
Since you set your taskbar to windows 10, perhaps it doesn't have the code to show the windows 11 flyouts, only the flyouts for windows 10.
@pyrates999 do you claim the code somehow does not exist in Explorer or what? The both kinds of taskbars belong to one process, explorer.exe.
I think you have "UseLiteLayout" enabled in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Control Center. Otherwise I cannot reproduce your issue on 22631.3296.

Hmmm. I do not have HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Control Center at all...
That location in the registry also doesn't exist for windows 10.
Additional info: the flyouts do not open even if Windhawk is disabled, regardless of the theme (in the default theme as well). On the other hand, they do open if to set the taskbar to be Win11.
Open up the properties application for explorer patcher, go to advanced, and click on enable console.
Try to see if the flyouts work for the windows 10 taskbar. Copy and paste the results from the EP console here then.
Update: absolutely strangely after I enabled console, the language Win11 flyout now works!
The Wi-Fi flyout still does not, the console output is: Started "Check foreground window" thread. Ended "Check foreground window" thread.
can you paste the complete output from the EP console?
@Anixx These lines suggest that your current Windows build is too old. What's your Windows build?
Started "Check foreground window" thread. Ended "Check foreground window" thread.

Yeah, please install EP 62.2 or newer. EP 62.2 and up no longer uses tricks to show the old network flyout that is requried on early 22621 builds and 22000.
For some reason it does not get updated from the dialog (even though the checkbox to get pre-releases is ticked).
Then update from the releases section.
I updated but the flyout still does not appear.
It still says
Started "Check foreground window" thread. Ended "Check foreground window" thread.
Alright. Just realized that you have it set to open the Control Center flyout or the Network page in the Control Center. I forgot to add the version check there. Will make a new prerelease tomorrow.
Since the language flyout now works, the issues with the Wi-Fi flyout may be caused by something else. I will watch the issue and report my findings if any.
