Classic Shell: Forum

Hey there!

First off, great application. I love it and I've been using it all through W8, W8.1, and now in W10.

I've recently discovered that in W8.1 and up, there's been a really nifty and convenient context menu when you right click the start button, which Classic Shell unfortunately overwrites. I've been looking everywhere to disable the classic shell menu, but to no avail. Am I blind, or does the feature to turn off this menu and get the standard Windows one back not exist yet?

If so, I think it should be an option.

Thanks!

Use Shift+right click to access that menu. Another way to open it is to press Win+X keys.

You can open Classic Start Menu settings and to the Controls tab. It has an option "Right click opens Windows context menu". Check it and then Shift+right click will open the Classic Shell context menu, regular right click will open the Win+X menu.

I am a Windows enthusiast and helped a little with Classic Shell's testing and usability/UX feedback.

Thanks for the reply!

I found the option which you mentioned but it did not do anything, right clicking the start button was dead for a while. I then realized that I was running version 4.2.1, so I decided to try the 4.2.3 version and it fixed the problem, now I have the context menu that I wanted.

Thanks a lot!
