Open-Shell (Formerly Classic-Start)

Steve C said:

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?

I've never had any lag with Classic Shell, except when doing a system stress test and that 2 seconds was understandable.

Do you see the same problem with Open Shell?

I don't have this problem or any other with the latest OpenShell and the latest build of Windows 10

Does anyone know how to contact the author/programmer/owner of OpenShell? I would like to ask if there are any final releases planned in the near future. The Development versions have been updated but a final has not been released in quite some time. Thanks!

Every beta for me has been stable but you're right it's better to have a new Final version

Maybe if you're signed into Github you can contact them? People . Open-Shell . GitHub

There was a new version released today and it works great. The Boot time is really fast
