Updated to this 4.4.152 , takes about 10 seconds before Im in Open-Shell startmenu , starts first in Win10 startmenu !
Anyone knows how (?) to solve this problem , previous started in Open-Shell at once...........
Can we give this program some more priority , for starting up faster ??
Appreciate help ..........
" Or uninstall it, reboot, reinstall and make sure that you don't install the extra optional components. "............thanks for all the help !
Uninstalled completely and installed again , booting with OpenShell immediately !
I used to install over previous , after every update ...........better to clean install after some updates , in future !
Installing over top especially if the previous is still running runs a risk some .dll will not get updated, or other weird stuff. That could easily cause the stutter of starting in MS menu then in OS. I always exit OS, install the new one, and fire up the new.
That's indeed a good way to do it. Some programs (not necessarily the Open Shell thing) may require a second boot.
- uninstall/remove the normal way
- boot computer
- manually remove remaining stuff - keep in mind that sometimes some hardcore apps still try to start, even if you removed part of it
- make sure all is removed
- boot again
- perform a clean install

I wondered the same, but the big problem is that MS at some point will be aware of this application, and then the will try to work against it, because they don't like apps that work differently than the current scope of ideas (which at this moment is the pushing of touch screens, "apps" based programs, and other crap like that).
So, if they do something to make the Classic Shell no longer work, there will be nobody to fix it. Or not officially.
MS has been aware of Classic Shell and Open Shell since their inception. It is illegal for MS to purposely modify their code to cripple any particular 3rd party app. General code modifications by MS across the board to enhance or fix Windows is another story. That is not illegal.
As far as keeping Open Shell up to date with fixes and enhancements, the OS team at Github is and has been doing that all along.
