It stops , for sure, with next upgrade to RedStone5 , so could be handy if you know how to; install/version/uninstall previous yes/no/etc. Before the upgrade .
Questions which I dont have a good ( working) answer for , yet............

Carefully.....

By then one of the nightly builds should be stable unless it is going to just keep being in nightly like certain game console emulators and dd-wrt. Then just pick the one that runs and maybe update it only if you have issues.

If I were sent to Mars, with only one computer, and it ran W10.
If I had to use the W10 Start menu (designed by young programmers, not Analysts), and I had the ability to alter the flight path, I would aim for the sun.

I can't think of anything to say that won't sound nasty, so I guess I'll just sit on my typing fingers . . . nope . . . not gonna. I'm just wondering why you're in the Windows Ten Forums if you hate Windows 10 that badly.

Sorry,
I thought I clarified that it was the Start Menu that I hate
(Classic Shell fixes that)

Not really, but I guess I misread. Personally, I find the Start Menu in Windows 10 quite satisfactory if I get rid of all those silly tiles. I installed Open Shell, but it's just too confusing; I'll probably reinstall it later, when I have more time to play.

I'm certainly not going to guide my space ship into the sun just because I don't care for it!

Don't worry- hang around for about 6bn years (estimates vary) and the Sun'll come and get you anyway. But I doubt we'll be still talking about MS's start menu then.

I dunno, Dalchina! This thread has lasted quite awhile, and is really quite interesting.

I use/keep both - so I can learn to use Window 10 Start Menu just in case, and because I prefer Classic Start (Open Shell). It doesn't present a problem and right now Open Shell is working fine for probably as long as long as I will live.
