That was welcome to see!

Yes, except that it did that with the broken version too.

I wondered if you'd seen that too, TC. Guess I should try it today, but only on my Insider partition.

BTW, has anyone checked it on 1803?

Yes Wynona. It works just fine on 1803.

Download Classic-Start - MajorGeeks

It is now on MajorGeeks

Classic-Start continues the Classic Shell project giving you access to the classic style Start Menu for Windows 7, 8.1, and 10.

Originally created by Ivo Beltchev, this fork is true to the first - to help improve productivity by allowing you to enhance the usability of Windows through a customizable start menu. You will be able to manage the way you use your PC via multiple style templates and skins. It also gives you quick access to recent, frequently-used, or pinned programs. You will also be able to quickly find any programs, settings, files, or documents with minimal keystrokes once you have it configured to your specific needs.

Classic-Start will also bring back the start button for Windows 10, 7, 8.1 along with the toolbar and status bar for Windows and Internet Explorer making it an excellent enhancement tool that for your daily Windows experience.

Just installed it even though I am not running the latest RS5 and it is working great. I did uninstall ClassicShell. Best first to uninstall ClassicShell then run the ClassicShell Utility to then completely remove all settings first. Also don't forget to backup your settings and pinned start menu items.

What version is it? I just recently downloaded the latest old version. Is there any updates to the current release? Which one should I use?
