I found a bug that was resolved by updating classic shell. For some reason, any window (internet, menu, program) was being deselected at random. Different lengths of time depending upon what was being done. I would then have to click the window to resume what I had been doing. Like I said, this appears to have been resolved with the update, but what is weird is that I only noticed an issue after being notified there was an update for classic shell

I think this issue is unrelated to classic shell, i've heard reports of it all over, from people without classic shell aswell

All I know is that for my case, once I updated classic shell, it went away, is it possible there is a registry entry that is being affected

that or its coincidence, classic shell only affects its own registry settings, so its unlikely. However maybe something 'refreshes' when the something new is installed. Ive actually had this issue myself, and downloading an update for another piece of software fixed the issue (however it came back a few days later)
If it does come back, try a system shutdown to see if that fixes it, and report back if possible :P

It could be related to classic shell, because it does throw a start button in-front of everything windows 10 could be giving the button itself focus (the software that I updated last time also created a button on the titlebar of every window)

Any potential bug needs to be reliably reproducible to determine if it's caused by Classic Shell or a Windows bug.
