    Don't know if the original author, @Ivo , is still active here. Maybe he'll see this @ Mention and respond.

    Hmmm sorry (from me) ... I would like to see it "re-imagined" but there is too much MS migration to UWP and loss of calling functions - makes it impossible to maintain.

    I don't really believe that. I find a minor maintenance is all it needs. So far with all the W10 updates it has not broken at all. Matter of fact the other start menu replacements that cost money like Start10 that are more updated crash and freeze all the time.

    Dunno if you followed the development but @Ivo had to get MS help to overcome certain obstacles relating to changes made to core components.. I'm glad it performs better than the others...
