    You want Classic Shell.

    Classic Shell - Start menu and other Windows enhancements

    Use "Classic with Two Columns" mode - that's what I like.

    Hope this helps!



    P.S. It's free!

    Classic Shell is finished, and replaced by Open Shell, which works on the latest Win10 system.

    Classic Shell works just fine in 1903 It is much better than than attempted replacement.

    Classic Shell is good, but it doesn't have the custom taskbar. It uses the default taskbar built into Windows and adds textures and stuff to it. I recommend StartIsBack

    The recommended StartIsBack is not freeware.
