It's 2024, and I'm still using it on each and every Windows PC I use. It's been a while since there's any updates, bugs are rampant icons are missing every now and then, but hey, it's still better than the START menu with TILES and unnecessary s*** that I don't need to know and software that I don't intend to use... and 95% of the time Classic Shell performs as expected, bringing back fond memories of the good old days, real functionality, and actual efficiency while using a Windows PC to get some work done. The modern START only makes users feel efficient, and functional, but yet it's but merely a delusion. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL, Classic Shell - with no updates, still saving the day in 2024. Thank you, and God bless you Sir, Ivo Beltchev, for making such a great software. Thank you!

Win10 start menu experience was a nightmare every time. Especially on older (2008 year CPU based) machine. Hard to say how thankful I am for ClassicShell. Sad found it just in the end of it's development life span.

Spectacular program. Stopped working on my Windows 7 however, and the forum won't let me login for help.

I've been using ClassicShell ever since my first encounter with the buggy (still buggy!) Windows 8/Windows 10 excuse of a Start menu. Along with 8GadgetPack, it is this software that made it possible for me to make my peace with Windows 10.
