Windows 10: Classic Shell 4.2.1 is released

Discus and support Classic Shell 4.2.1 is released in Windows 10 Software and Apps to solve the problem; I tried it and it worked for me on this build. But I went back to the default. I do not usually tweak a pre- release OS. Why? If you are set... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Software and Apps' started by Ivo, Apr 10, 2015.

    Why?

    If you are set for the native 10 menu then you don't need anything else.

    It is just a path that I have always taken since I Beta tested Vista and Seven. We are provided this preview to test as is and not to tweak it. If one finds a problem how are you to know if the user caused it or it was a bug?

    The entire start screen concept does not "work" for me since Win 8 so I don't spend too much time with it. I just replace the start screen right away with classic shell. I am not interested with the native start screen to begin with so I just always skip it. Besides, with classic shell, you don't actually remove it. It's still there.

    In fact, classic shell has become one of the way I test Win 10. I always check if Classic Shell works with Win 10 and notify @Ivo if there is a problem. *Smile

    The start screen shortcut on Classic Shell 4.2.1 doesn't work at the moment for build 10056. It doesn't matter to me but for some maybe it does. *Smile

    This application makes a really big difference in Windows 10 for me. I do not know why I didn't start using it a long time ago. This makes me really want to upgrade to Windows 10!

    Hmm.. you do know that it's not necessary to upgrade to Win10 when you can use ClassicShell with Win8.1.1 and practically have the same OS.

    I know but I have Windows 7 and I can upgrade to Windows 10 for free so I really don't want to purchase Windows 8.1.

    There are many reasons to get the latest OS beyond the look of it. There are many under the hood improvements that are not seen but are much more meaningful than a start menu

    Classic Shell 4.2.1 is released

    Now this I can totally agree with and you're right. ClassicShell is a good option to use a different start menu and I have used it for Win8.1 in the past. Overall, it's a great product and the OP does a great job developing it as well.

    I can agree with that as well. Classic shell just makes it look nicer, and is a great product for those like me that used to use 3rd party themes in Windows 7.

    Most notable improvement in this release is the ability to search Metro Settings.
