    Beware of this application! It completely messed up my favourite menu and contextual menu set up. I had to restore registry entries to get the functionality back. Awful! There is nothing like OpenShell, simply the best, period.

    Completely borked my computer. My computer is bootlooping after using this and even after uninstalling the program through safe mode, it still hasn't fixed the problem.

As of today, Win10 Start Menu is still plagued by a day-0 bug, hiding a whole bunch of folders, when installed applications are over a limit. Start Menu X works! And the free version as a few nice additions, like grouping, that are really useful. Only drawback I found so far is a little delay in showing folder contents, that doesn't seem to be configurable. Looks like it has more nice features than the commercial Start10 that I tried before.

Don't really like this, I prefer openshell, and any program that opens a page in your browser after uninstalling gets a point taken off from me, in this case, 2 points
