Windows 10: Classic Shell no longer in development, and now open source

Same here - fine on 5 PCs.

 

Basically I believe that M$ is treating it's Insiders with contempt. Buildfeedis now up to 17079 compiled last Saturday. This is the first time I can remember that D.S. or one of her minions has not said wether or not there will be a build this week. Perhaps tomorrow she will say "no builds today or Friday - have a great weekend" or somethiing to that effect.

 

I tried Stardock's Start 10 already had a forced windows explorer crash pinning shortcuts to the start menu and two random stopped working crashes when trying to customize the program. I went back to Classic Shell.

 

Good day.

Has anyone tried this one by IObit?

 

From my notes (which are the result of a quick look so could be wrong)
- configurable search - no (whereas CS's is)
- expandable multicolumn across screen- no (CS can do this) - very useful for large start menus
- expandable Control Panel - yes
- search files - quite fast
- deeply nested start menus (several folders deep) - yes (Win 10's = no)
- options for start button - yes
- wrongly shows Hibernate (Hibernate was disabled)
- can't add folders (can with CS)
- Can get to show Win 10 style with tiles after logoff.
- No rt click options on Programs. (can with CS)

 

I will have to try it. I will create a Macrum image before messing around with it though just in case. It has to be better than that POS Start10 with its random explorer crashes and start10 has stopped working while trying to use and configure the program.

 

I'm sticking with Classic Shell until it stops working. It's still OK in RS4.

 

I have had no problems with Classic shell ever.

 

It failed I think on the RS1 builds when they were playing around with the start menu.

 

*Ditto and *Ditto

It just plain works.

 

It sure does I hope someone takes it over*Wink

 

There forums are pathetic. You ask any question and they tell you this.

Please contact support so we can get more information.

Whats the point of having a forum if you just have to submit a useless feedback ticket they will ignore.

Assuming this was a real question I can think of 3 reasons.

1. Some people will be frustrated and want to let off steam. They can vent and swear and curse on the ticket and it can then be safely ignored with no moderation required. Moderation is expensive presumably.

2. It looks good to have a forum. It is professional. If it is updated regularly then more people will download your product. It definitely looks better to have a forum that is not full of "why did you stop developing it you lazy *****" though. Or "I know nothing about Android but I'll update your lockscreen thing anyway if you all send $3 to this paypal account"

3. No-one reads the stickies.

 

I asked Sergey about taking over Classic Shell and he said that he thought about it but he would not have the time to give it justice.
