    Windows start menu won't open

    Nothing on my task bar will right click. My search box isn't working and the start menu won't open. I finally got a free 3rd party start menu program today,

    Classic Shell

    When I start my computer the Quick Access folder is always open, I don't need that. All the updates are installed. I would rather have the Windows 10 start menu, but the Classic Shell is better than none.

    Start menu program names are badly truncated

    I downloaded and installed classic shell freeware and it got rid of the truncation

    Ha..!! I renamed the classic shell install file, and it installed.

    That leads me to believe that it was specifically blocked by name, by the poindexters at ms central.

    Really lame.

    Check for updates and reboot after important and possibly recommended updates are installed.

    No joke!
    I've never experienced a BSOD until this Preview!
    This Preview's so buggy even the BSOD's are buggy!!! *Biggrin
