Classic Shell update brings full support for Windows 10

Classic Shell on Windows 10 TH2

Classic Shell was, is, and will continue to be one of the best Start menu apps for Windows 8, the operating system that removed the traditional feature in the favor of a touch-optimized Start screen.

And even if Microsoft brought back the Start menu in Windows 10, not everyone likes the new live tile-based design, so third-party apps such as Classic Shell continue to be very successful.

And thanks to an update released recently, Classic Shell adds full support not only for Windows 10, but also for Threshold 2, the new OS update that Microsoft released last week. In other words, if you've already installed Windows 10 TH2, Classic Shell should work like a charm on your PC too.

Look and features

First and foremost, the biggest advantage of using Classic Shell on a Windows 10 computer is that it brings back the traditional and familiar look of the Start menu from Windows 7.

As you can see in the screenshots included in this article, Classic Shell makes the Start menu look almost entirely like the one in Windows 7, which clearly comes in handy to those upgrading to Windows 10 from this particular OS version.

Classic Shell automatically takes over the default Start menu in Windows 10, but still includes a shortcut to it in case you want to easily go back to the original design. Customization options are also being offered, so you can change the look of the Start menu, but also of the Start button. The best setting, of course, is to use the Windows 10 Start button design for seamless integration.

Overall, Classic Shell looks, feels, and works just great on Windows 10 and if the Start menu is the missing piece to make the new OS more appropriate for your PC, this is the app to get. Of course, it's completely free of charge, so you can always download Classic Shell to see what it's up to.

OrdinarySoft's start menu is the best I've seen or used; like 98 and 2000 pro with improvements. Used 3.88 classic with 7 and 8.1 and now 9.5pro on win 10. My recommendation is to try it and you will like it.
