If you ask any Qs about start menu or file explorer, make sure to mention that you are using it ...
Why would I ask questions about that, though?
Lets just say that sometime people come here asking "why doesn't XYZ work in Win11", then many people give suggestions of "try this", "try that", "try the other" ...
Several days later it is revealed that the original person uses classicShell/openShell or similar and *that* is the reason ...
Ah, well, I'm more of the person who'd answer a question on that level, than ask it, but who knows.
Typically, a knowledgeable person like yourself, would be
asking a question about "a new aberrant behavior after Patch Tuesday".
You likely know how to use stuff when it is working
properly, but we see all sorts of weird things when
an interface no longer works right. And mentioning an
add-on like that, helps triangulate where the problem
might be.
I had a failure here one day, after a Patch Tuesday, where the
icons on the Task Bar started dancing at high speed. At a
high enough speed, you dare not click on something because
the wrong thing is going to get selected. It was bad enough,
my only response was to press alt-F4 and do a shutdown. I couldn't
even dare to use the Power icon in Start, because the Start icon
was also jumping around. That alt-F4 is so so handy, when
shit hits the fan.
One guy has Explorer Patcher and WindHawk (a patch/mod framework),
and now that I know that, I'm better able to respond when
he mentions a weirdness on the machine.
