I'm on a public release of Windows 10 Pro. After installing 'Classic Shell' the program and menu worked just as expected. But, the 'Start Screen' choice on the menu was disabled and the 'Start Menu' tab at "Task bar and Start Menu Properties" is still missing?

We're looking forward to a
'full release' version that resolves these issues....

The taskbar properties are part of Windows. Classic Shell does not add or remove tabs there.

Thank you for this response...
I'm sure you are correct, nevertheless I see others posting the same missing 'tab' issue elsewhere on the Internet. I'll be happy to assume they are un-related issues, and even more happy to get a version of 'Classic Shell' that delivers the expected 'Classic' menu as well as the ability to select and receive the 'Start Screen'.

What "Start Screen" choice do you see as being disabled? A screenshot would be most helpful.

The Start screen is part of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. In Windows 10, the Start Menu can be made fullscreen via the Settings app.

For Windows 10, make sure you are using Classic Shell 4.2.3 at least so the shortcut in the menu to open the Windows Start Menu is operational.

Thank you that's probably it. We were installing 4.2.1 and the 'Windows Start Menu' was NOT operational...
