Hi there
I have installed Classic Shell, 4.2.5c on Windows 10 Pro, 64 bits
After the installation the screen flashes constantly.
I can not select any icon. and can not switch off CS . The desktop flashes constantly.
Via the Task Manager I have to disable the Classic Shell.

Can somebody help me and tell me what goes wrong here?
settings? or else

thanks in advance
Regards
Arnold.

It might be crashing your Explorer.exe. By screen flashing, do you mean the Taskbar disappears? You could uninstall the current version and install the latest beta from the home page which is most compatible with Windows 10.

If the latest beta still crashes your Explorer.exe, capture a crash dump as per instructions here: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=6 However it is not clear to me what you mean by "screen flashes". Something else might be wrong on your system too.

Thanks for your response. Yes I think it is the Explorer.exe.
The Taskbar remains also, but you can not select on single icon on it.
It flashes around 1 sec constantly if something is wrong with the video.
The only escape I have is the Task Manager and disable Classic Shell.
I already had de installed CS and installed the actual version CS. without any success.
I have to disable the Explorer.exe during installation. I will check if this improves.
will keep you posted abt the results I have.
Thanks
