I know that OpenShel is closely related to Classic Shell. But since Open Shell has been developed further, does it do anything else that Classic Shell does not? From what I gather, Classic Shell is more stable than Open Shell. Can anyone weigh in?
If it is exactly the same as CS then why use it? I am but when I look at it, I can see nothing that is different, than the name and this .140 is called a Nightly but do not think it updates ever night as it does not. I may go back to Cs.
Classic Shell had problems with insider builds. OpenShell fixed them. Development of CS has ended while OS has continued so I'd say stay with OS.
Agreed, MS Start is very usable, just takes a while to get used to using it.
I'm partial to Start10 myself. Been using it since the first Win 10 alpha or pre-aplha.
Still using CS at home, both on laptop and desktop. One is 1903, the other is 1809.
But at work ... CS is not allowed. These laptops are locked down like Fort Knox.
I've been happy using Classic Start / Shell on all my PCs. However, recently I noticed logins on my 5 year old Dell laptop were taking 10 secs - see Slow Login Troubleshooting.
I've reduced the login delay to an acceptable 4 secs by disabling the option "Pre-cache icons" in Classic Shell / General Behaviour. Has anyone had this issue or can explain why disabling such a cache makes login faster?
