Some smal things could be better , only cosmetic ; no Classic Context Menu anymore , maybe later a solution will appear ……….(?)

Releases · Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu · GitHub working fine for me in 1809

No no crashes but it takes over an hour to do the Patch Tuesday updates on my old lappy even with the MRT hidden.

Do you have KB3177467 (v1 or v2) SSU installed?

Apparently it take ages to perform updates in W7 if it isn't.

I was talking about not having to install W7 first and than to upgrade to W10 on same machine W10 was installed previously (upgraded or not).

My bad.

It's hard to imagine that MS is not aware of "Situation awareness and adequate response".

The success of the feature update is probably monitored by MS, with the adaption rate being the primary statistic to measure the success. Unfortunately, this success is guaranteed by forcing a large number of end users with W10 Home Edition to update early. Those who can, with Professional and Enterprise versions, they already delayed or otherwise disabled feature updates. The chances are that the number of Professional versions that do not update is small, when compared to the Home Edition update rate, and Enterprise version update rate isn't even in the statistics.

It does not help, that even in this forum, the general mantra is to blame the end users:

• You should have a backup of your data
• If the feature update broke your system, just restore the previous version from an image backup, or do a fresh install of W10
• Alternatively, start the system in command line mode and run some diagnostic and/or scan to restore the system

While these are sound advices, unfortunately, they are beyond the understanding and reach for most of the W10 Home Edition users. The same crowd that did not have these issues with W7 or 8.x all the sudden are forced to deal with it. And that's hitting them hard, much harder than the crowd in this forum...

Agreed.

I was talking about the Classic CONTEXT MENU , we have to wait for a new solution , unless you like this wide spreaded grey menu..........

I'm still on 1803. Could you post a pic of what you are getting now that MS changed and/or broke? Thanks.
