    Best Start Menus for Windows 10


    After the anniversary update, the start menu became crap. What are some good alternative start menu programs for windows 10, preferably one that looks similar to windows 10's but allows pinning files to the start menu.

    :)

      Original title: Start up menu windows 10 does not appear anymore, none of the programs show up. All I have is a black drop window with a list of items. How can I get the original start menu back?

    I really like the tiles feature of default Windows 10 start menu. I wish some third party program allowed me to pin files as tiles on the Windows 10 start menu.

    They have "three" styles in Start10 (actually just two). The first two works but the third one just disables the program so that default Windows 10 start menu appears.

  9. just to let you all know that classic Shell 4.3 causes Redstone 2 explorer to crash and go into a re-start loop. Had to un-install classic shell and look for alternative. Going to try Start10 v 1.50 and see how that goes.
    @ediT ... Start10 causes a similar problem ... when i use the start menu search facility, then click on the find it causes a Explorer crash and re-start.

    finally found one that works with Redstone 2 ... Iobit Start8 v4.021. This replacement so far works OK with Redstone 2.

    Will it do that if I just have the Classic Start Menu installed and not the Classic Explorer? I opted out of that option when installing Classic Shell since I had no problem with the native Win 10 explorer. I like Classic shell and will not be happy if I can't use it.

    Classic Shell for me. Menuview. It opens up everything when you hover the pointer above documents or programs e.g.

  12. its nothing to do with classic Explorer, as that effects the browser explorer, not the explorer.exe that windows interface uses. i tried Classic Shell without Classic Explorer, and that just caused the same crash.

    As i said in my post Iobit Start 8 (dont be fooled by the name) works just fine with Redstone 2 edition, and its pretty much the same as Classic Shell in most aspects. The only thing i find that it wont do is drag and drop things in the start menu, like dragging one program to another folder in the start menu. otherwise its 'liveable'.

    If your term 'Redstone 2' means the same as the Creator's Update then just FYI I'm using Classic Shell with the Creator's Update with no problems so far.

  14. Redstone 2 is the 'latest' version of Windows (build 15063) released in April 2017. which seems to be the one and the same edition. So i dont know why it crashes my explorer, and not your lol.

    What is your version number, and Creators Update is advertised as build 15042.
