| Microsoft is too stuck up about shifting away from old paradigms, even if some users consider them better. They won't take this project. And I just remembered, Stardock already has something like that and it's not that expensive: https://www.stardock.com/products/start10/ Maybe we should all move..... |

After 3 days of testing, I didn't get one bug anymore after enabling Windows Error Reporting which I had previously turned off/disabled via Group Policy Editor.
So it seems that Classic Shell doesn't work well if Windows Error Reporting isn't on, very strange. |

Just did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit and installed all the latest drivers + Windows updates. I then installed Classic shell but I keep getting a message randomly:
"Classic Start Menu Has Stopped Working"
What gives?
I have attached my Classic Shell settings XML file. |
