CO-Release Build 21370 is out to Dev Channel

I have Open Shell v4.4.164 but can try the update v4.4.165 just to see.

I had used Win 7 for so long, was a beta tester since Win 98, that when I upgraded from 7 to 10, I wanted to keep the same start menu layout that I was familiar with all these years.

Yes, you can keep that.  But I'll tell you this... I used to use Quick Launch on 7.  I gave it to/told all my clients about it. Believe I kept using it through 8/8.1.  Then, maybe out of habit, I put it in 10... until I discovered/realise with 10 is was not necessary or helpful or served any real purpose or was redundant to what 10 already had.  I dropped it in 10 quite quickly.

Between pinning, jumplists, Win+X & more, 10 works nicely without Quick Launch as an aide, anymore.  But having it does no harm, either.

Appreciate you dropping OpenShell, good move.  You can also consider using something I am very enthusiastic to recommend.

Win+X+R, type in shell:AppsFolder, hit Ok or Enter.  Give it whatever View you fancy & always only minimise, do not close it.

Cheers,

Ok, since I rolled back to the previous build, I haven't had an issue with Open Shell. But I can do a full uninstall of it and then update/install to the current Win 10 Dev version that would be posted later this week. But is it OK to keep the Quick Launch Icons bar in on the Taskbar (carried over from Win 7).

Looks like your thought was correct then regarding the Insider pause period. I was on that beta build before changing to the Dev channel recently but never thought to check that setting, I just assumed it was the same as the public build.

Thanks fg2001.
