Thanks. I'll check the troubleshooting tips you provided.
Getting my wife, however, to look at screen resotuion is a lost cause. She will never do it! |

| Interesting. It never happened under her old PC running Win10 though. She could be using a different game, I suppose. |

| I didn't do a reinstall. Just ran the OpenShell -> StartMenu.exe as per my post. This has happened several times since the initial loss of the "Shell" icon at the bottom left of the screen and my post. It "seems" that it could be related to some games that my wife plays but that ... |

The Shell icon disappears every so often on my wife's Win11 PC. Not frequently and maybe related possibly to games that she plays on it. It does not happen on my Win10 desktop or Win10 laptop. Going to the OpenShell folder and re-executing the OpenShell program restores it.
Is this a known issue? |

Regards, Kevin There is a Settings item in the Start menu's right column as Ivo said but if you upgraded from Windows 7, it may not be there. You can also type: Settings into the search box of Classic Sh... |

I have just done the first Win10 upgrade here and run Classic Shell on that PC.
How do I get to Win10 settings when Classic Shell is running?
TIA

If you want to be real safe, uninstall Classic Shell, upgrade, install again. |

| I have Classic Shell installed on two Win8.1 PCs. With the upcoming Win10 upgrade (I won't be doing this for a couple of months yet), what is the best way to keep using Classic Shell? 1. Uninstall CS, do the Win10 upgrade and re-install CS? 2. Just install the Win10 upgrade? 3. Something else? Thank... |

Great...thanks. I looked around all over the place but obviously am going "blind" in my old age <g>. Changed it now in the Main Menu (Win7 style).
