Is Classic Shell dead? Developer quits (Sun Dec 03, 2017)

The developer of Classic Shell announced yesterday on the official forum that he won't work on the program anymore. He provided three explanations for stopping development of the application:

• 
  
  • Lack of free time because of other interests.
  • Windows 10 is updated too frequently (twice a year with a new feature update) which makes it difficult to keep up with the development, especially since updates break functionality of Classic Shell frequently.
  • Microsoft changing the core of Windows from being based on the classic Win32 programming model, and thereby making it more difficult for developers to achieve the level of customization that Classic Shell offers.

Classic Shell Alternatives
There is a chance that no one will pick up development. There are a couple of alternatives available, especially for changing the Windows 8 or 10 start menu to a classic menu.

• 
  
  • Pokki -- A custom start menu for Windows 8.
  • Spencer -- Adds a Windows XP start menu icon to the system.
  • Start10 -- The commercial application by Stardock restores the classic Windows start menu. It is available for a one-time cost of $4.99.
  • StartIsBack++ -- A free application that replaces the Windows start menu with a classic variant.
  • StartMenuX -- A free and commercial start menu replacement for Windows.
  • Start Menu Reviver -- The program mixes the old and new start menu.

Classic Shell no longer in development. Source code released

Send a BIG thanks to the M$ MORONS Headquarters who forced Win services down our throats!!

 

The best Start Menu alternative is going down thanks to MS. I've tried them all, even the paid ones, nothing comes close to Classic Shell. It is literally the Windows 7 Start Menu ripped out of Windows 7 and put in Windows 10. It even behaves the same in the sense that it shows the most recently opened programs whereas others don't have that feature, once you remove a program from the recently opened, even if you open that program again and again, it never shows up on the recently opened programs again. That's where Classic Shell takes the cake and the fact that you can easily load all your previous Start Menu Settings in one go. Heck, I even edited the Default Programs shortcut in Classic Shell to display the old Classic Default Programs rather than the messed up Windows 10 PC settings version of it:

 

I really hope a new one can take over and continue with it due open source. Can't live with how default Win X looks and works. What other options can work similar without using process cycles?

CCleaner updated to v5.38.6357

@Papusan did you notice that they removed the portable version now? they want me to install this to have the avast crap/ads installed? no thank you. gonna look for an alternative program now

 

No, wait for few days. They release the slim and portable versions a bit late. 10 Megs for CCleaner is too much. If CCleaner follows a different path then I'll drop it. @Phoenix Looks like Peter Wagnard is in the works of making CCleaner alternative. Its named WCleaner.
I asked him to combine DDU and use Bleachbit source to speedup the development time. I think he's busy. https://www.wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=17&sid=8d5c2e06b97a3fa02e4f2bcf6d8d0332

We have to see if they change their Build link notice as pict below... Piriform website have always screwed up the portable version download with every new release. This seems as a minor change First F'd up with malware, and always screwed up build download link... It's exactly where it should be Maybe worse now after Avast intro as BIG mama.

 

I want the improved cookie manager

Please install the latest version on your taptop then copy/paste the files from Program files and zip them to me over the internet

I am gonna try BleachBit

Edit: Nevermind, just remembered that none of these other cleaners has the ability to uninstall the Windows Store apps that can't be installed using the conventional methods

@Papusan

Garmin Express updated to v5.9.0.0

 

What do you recommend for removing Intel telemetry? What does NVIDIA use telemetry for? Does Samsung Magician harvest telemetry from me?

How do I know all telemetry is disabled?

 

Bruh, y00 are good in English. Maybe post in the Piriform forum. Ask what in Hell happening Where's the portable version?
As well put up a thread... Respected CCleaner is become MALWARE!!

Only the beginning.

 

My workplace flagged it. We were told to remove it, if we had it. Any suggested replacements?

 

Wait and see what Piriform do.
For Nvidia... Install Nvidia drivers like this.
See also https://www.ghacks.net/?s=Nvidia+telemetry&submit=

And why use Samsung Magician on daily basis? Remove from start up if you have it installed. But You have no need for it. It's Bloat!! Uninstall!!

 

Use CCleaner/BCuninstaller/Dism++

 

Stick with ccleaner 5.32 or 5.38 slim version. No bloatwares/ads.

 

Why suggest CCleaner version from half a year ago?

 

It was the version that Piriform released before Avast purchased them.

 

@Phoenix Macrium reflect link not working.
