    Open Shell 4.4.152 Disappears


    Recently I was getting a message from MS about some program I needed to install and they kept after me to install it so I finally did install it. I have never had a problem since I installed Open Shell a long time age.

    Since the recent updates on 4/2/21 my Open Shell menu disappears and it reverts to the Win 10 menu which I dislike. I opened an icon shortcut for Open Shell and got it back but each time I shut off my PC I loose the Win 7 menu & get Win 10 menu again on restart. I go back to the short cut and get the Win 7 menu back. How can I keep it so I don’t have to do this every time?

    My recent updates are on 4/2/21 (3), prior it was 11/30/20. This started after the last 3 updates on 4/2/21.

    There is an update to Open Shell 4.4.160, should I just install that to fix the issue

    - when does it disappear? Do you mean its start button vanishes- the process terminates?

    People don't get the same updates at the same time nor do they necessarily run the same build. The forum prompted you (so we don't have to keep asking):

    To which specific updates are you referring? (See Update History). Thanks.

    Meanwhile obviously you can try the update and report if it helps...

    GitHub - Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu: Classic Shell Reborn.

    Open Shell has been updated since the release that you are using.
