Hello. I am a huge Windows enthusiast since the earliest releases of Windows, and did Classic Shell's testing and usability/UX feedback. But Windows 10 has been a big disappointment because Microsoft has turned a deaf ear towards most of their user base and is completely disrespecting and ignoring what they are asking for. No, Windows-as-a-Service delivering constant huge updates that disrupt your carefully tuned set-up was never desired by anyone.
Classic Shell has been fixing and enhancing Windows since
Nov. 2009 but Microsoft has moved away from Win32 programs and towards UWP. They have also moved away from Windows as a product to a service that is a tremendous bandwidth burden on everyone. It is pointless to even try to improve an OS when its own developer is making things worse and less functional so quickly as part of their planned obsolescence.
Microsoft is no longer maintaining proper continuity of features in new releases of Windows. They are just arbitrarily adding new features without even considering how bloated and *seriously unproductive* their updates have become.If the nature of Windows changes in the future from a service, back to a product, that doesn't bombard you with tremendously bloated, intrusive, disruptive, rude, worthless updates that leave you with no real control, and leaves you with sufficient freedom to tweak or keep the features
you like,
and if any fork of Classic Shell happens from the code released on SourceForge/GitHub, then I am definitely interested in testing it again. However at the moment, Windows is such a nightmare that it makes no sense to develop a quality app for it. Even if some other developer takes up the Classic Shell project, it just doesn't improve the horrible Windows experience in any way. Out-of-control updates make the OS waste your time and are a constant pain to deal with. It is highly unlikely that Windows will get any better unless the management changes at Microsoft to focus on the quality of the user experience.
For 10 years since Vista, Microsoft has been unable to develop a decent servicing mechanism for Windows.

On top of that, the quality of code and features delivered by updates is very poor. And that is just the tip of the ice berg. There are so many problems with Windows 10 under the new management that I can't even begin to list them. But despite horrible flaws, only a small subset of its users seem to care and the rest are accepting anything that Microsoft offers them. It doesn't make any sense to build an
intelligent productivity-focused software like Classic Shell with so much effort and attention to detail if the majority doesn't care about productivity and if the UX is such a nightmare for us. You can choose to stay with Windows 7 or 8.1 where it should continue to work for years. Right now, Microsoft keep on adding new features but breaking old ones - so they're only going around in circles. When Microsoft brings back Windows to a reasonable level of productivity, usability, and solid, steady improvements, then it might be worthwhile to make something like Classic Shell for it.
So until then, adios.
