Windows 10: Will Classic Shell work on Windows 10

Yup, Ivo must up his game as MS changes things - keeps him on his toes...LOL

BTW: He's done an excellent job keeping up.. can't be easy!

 

That will be very much welcome for the 32-bit users.

 

Any chance you will post back when the "fix " is implemented.
Thank you.

 

Just keep an eye on the Classic Shell website at Classic Shell - Start menu and other Windows enhancements
.

 

Two new versions were just released:
4.2.6 beta - many new features, skinning for the taskbar, Redstone fixes, and others. More about it here: http://www.classicshell.net/forum/vi...php?f=4&t=6073
4.2.5c - a re-release of 4.2.5 with updated certificate. Download it if you are getting certificate warnings.

Download both from the main page: www.classicshell.net

 

Thank you.

 

Thank you, @Ivo! 4.2.6 beta on 14342... First things I noticed: Click Start Button now works for go to Start Menu - Search box now defaults to focused without mouse click - Metro Apps have the "Uninstall" option back. Still working with it! Also, was not rejected by MS install, did not change name or any other "tricks", just ran as admin, over 4.2.5. Again, thanks!!

 

Cheers Ivo!

 

Thanks very much for the updates -- this is a great product!!

 

Beware of Classic Shell with Win10!
With some installed programs, but not all: Click Start > enter program name > Enter . . and A)the program won't run, and B) hitting WinKey will not open the Start menu, and to get the Start menu working you have to reboot via holding the computer's power button for five seconds.
I've uninstalled Classic Shell and the WinKey and Start menu are back to normal.

You may have a bad install of Classic Shell or the settings are not correct. It works fine here on the current build (10586) and the Insider build (14367). Use version 4.2.7, it's fine. There also may be other problems with your general setup that are causing issues, but that is another subject.

 

Hi, never had any such problems with it.
Windows key opens it, as does clicking the start button, windows key + SHIFT opens Windows start menu. Windows key + X opens the basic ancillary start menu.

Perhaps you have some conflicting hot key?

 

There is a known problem that sometimes the Windows start menu doesn't work with the beta.
This thread has a patch for the 64-bit version: http://www.classicshell.net/forum/vi...hp?f=19&t=6081

I have not heard about the problem with programs failing to run. What exactly program are you talking about? What if you don't press Enter, but instead click on the program in the list of the search results - will it run then?

 

i had it installed on my wifes laptop, lost all sound, uninstalled it and rebooted and the sound came back

 

Classic Shell should not affect the sound in any way. It was most likely the reboot that fixed it.
