I thought it would be interesting to know what people prefer (Desktop users, not tablet):
- Native Windows 10 Start menu
- Classic Shell
- Start 10 (by Stardock)
- Native Start screen
- Any other solution (post
Please keep in mind that this poll is for Windows 10, not for any of it's predecessors.
I personally reverted to Classic shell. I like beeing able to customize it. The native Start menu is simply not flexible enough for me.
W10 Menu in any of it's forms is fine but I'd still like to see the option to Pin to the Start LIST.
With all the options now on the right click of the Start Button and all my programs on the task bar, I no longer have need of the start menu.
So, if I had to choose I'd stick with what the OS put there.
Classic Shell for me although jumplists aren't working for me yet under 4.2.3RC
What I like about Classic Shell is the fact that you lose nothing by installing it. There is still a button that brings up the native Start menu. Plus you can make Windows bring up the native Start menu by clicking the Start button while holding down shift on your keyboard (for example).
I can't say that it's a major issue for me; apps that are used multiple times per session are on taskbar and context menu covers a lot.
But the fact that I can have 30 icons in about the same space that a classic menu holds 5, plus the superior caching/response, makes native Win 10 Start a no-brainer.
