Ivo,
Just upgraded Server 2016 TP4 to TP5 14291 and have CSM running on it. On this build clicking "Start Menu (Windows)" does nothing; worked fine in the last one.
Did also do an uninstall\install but same result.

Using the extractxx parameters results in ClassicShellSetup32_4_2_0.msi rather than ClassicShellSetup32_4_2_1.msi (same for x64).
Also running the extracted msi files with 4.2.0 installed results in a repair\remove request rather than option to install\upgrade.

The settings were preserved i.e. the custom button path etc. but the "Replace Start Button" wasn't checked on upgrade.
Could it be because this is build 9431 not RTM?

Ivo,
First thanks for the RC!
I am running 8.1 enterprise with 3.9.3 installed and have a custom start button defined. When I upgrade to 3.9.5 the Start Button is not enabled. Is it possible to do some check for this so that with upgrade the button is enabled if it is previously in use?
Regards,
Pete |

Evo,
I will try and get more info. I know clicking on the desktop or clicking the desktop and pressing F5 doesn't fix it. I have not tried to click where icons should be. It is random so when I get next occurrence I will try more things.

Going to the start screen and back to desktop is only way to fix it. This doesn't seem to happen in 3.9.0 or your prerelease 3.9.2. Just t... |

If users have already logged on to the RDS server and have a profile the best way would be to create a registry collection in a GPO in Users preferences. To do this first setup Classic Shell the way ... |

| I don't think it is a problem. On another system I tested the same reg file settings and it worked fine. On this machine the system seemed to know to create the folder in the users local start menu - I didn't need to pre-create it. Maybe just a glitch on this build I am working on. |

If I create the folder C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools then when an user account is first created it gets built in the users profile and I don't get the missing text.
