    Okay I feel like a fool. There was nothing wrong with Start10 it was that POS Centennial store garbage Office apps that was causing icon corruption. Removed that junk and installed the actual 64-bit desktop version and office files display correct icons.

    Also found that Start10 Support FAQ Forum Post by Island Dog
    can purge settings. Stupid Google search gave me links saying to contact support. Actually the Stardock newer posts are more useful Google was pulling in crap post from 2014-2015.

    Looks like there is some work going on at GitHub? If I had the necessary expertise I would help them, but I don't. Anyway there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.....Start9

    That's very interesting, I don't understand 99% of what they are saying there, but the concepts are pretty clear. One thing I think I understood is their intentions are not to program themselves into a hole. Allow for as much flexibility and forward compatibility as possible. Agree, some light at the end of the tunnel.

    Indeed. At least they are using updated APIs and libraries (.NET 4.x - WPF - etc), so it should work now and for future Windows releases. Nice find, JohnBurns!

    Has anyone tested SmartMenuReviver...?

    Start Menu Reviver

    Saw this here,

    The 7 Best Windows Start Menu Alternatives and Replacements

    Too bad that Classic Shell will meet its end. I liked using it (ver4.3)...

    Can't check it out. Seems the link may have a nasty in it. Or false positive.

    Classic Shell & Win 10 IP - Open source devel .exe file just released


    Mods....please post this where you think most affected by this would see it. Tnx.

    Hi

    I mentioned in my last post within the 17704 released thread that there is a way to get CS back up and running and while I am personally working on coding part of it I can give you some details and a developmental release .exe to try. I don't know if this one will fix the issue just yet as it was not coded by myself. It was just posted and if anyone has issues, please go to the 'issues' page and file a bug report or add a comment to the already posted Win10 IP incompatibility thread. Tnx.

    THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. IT WILL TAKE A BIT OF TIME

    (1) The following site is currently where the master branch is, however, all further development will be moved to the site below shown below (#2): GitHub - coddec/Classic-Shell: Original code of Classic Shell (v4.3.1), original author Ivo Beltchev

    (2) The New home for Classic Shell (files, development, support, etc.) is located at: https://gitq.com/passionate-coder/Classic-Start

    Go to the following sub-page to access the files: Releases · passionate-coder/Classic-Start · GitHub

    A new developmental version has just been posted TODAY and you can see if you have any luck with it. The download link is below:

    Classic Shell 4.4.102 (Developmental): https://github.com/passionate-coder/...up_4_4_102.exe

    Below is what you will see.

    Attachment 194369


    I will post updates as needed of course.
