| Curious: Is it possible to have the Classic Shell program installed but not have it load up automatically as it usually does. Then put a shortcut to ClassicStartMenu.exe in the Windows 10 start-up folder so it will load AFTER most other programs have loaded? (This is just a hypothetical, you unders... |

| Thanks again. Right now, I'm up to my ninth or tenth boot-up, and Classic Shell has loaded perfectly each time. So, I keep my fingers crossed. Curious: Is it possible to have the Classic Shell program installed but not have it load up automatically as it usually does. Then put a shortcut to ClassicS... |

| Just like update.ver, try deleting C:\Users\<YOUR USER NAME>\AppData\Local\ClassicShell\DataCache.db. Exit the menu first by right clicking on the Start button. Then delete the file. Load the menu again by running C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\ClassicStartMenu.exe. The DataCache.db dile should get... |

| Success! Thanks, Ivo and Gaurav. Now, since I have your kind attention, another, possibly unrelated question: I've been using Classic Shell ever since the introduction of Windows 10 several years ago. But ever since the Creators Update I've experienced an odd behavior. About every third or fourth ti... |

| ...if the file C:\ProgramData\ClassicShell\update.ver does not even have read-write permissions, then it will say failed to check for updates. Check the NTFS permission on that file or its parent folder(s). I checked the file and the folder, and all permissions are allowed. Still fails to check for... |

| Thanks, Gaurav; I'll check my firewall settings. However, unless Classic Shell itself changed the settings on my computer AND my wife's computer, the settings allowed Classic Shell to access the Internet just moments before the update. That's how I knew to download the new version of Classic Shell: ... |

| I downloaded ver. 4.3.1 yesterday, and it seems to work perfectly. Today, however, I thought to double check it by clicking on "Classic Shell Update." The response I'm getting is "Failed to check for new version." Everything else seems to work, but what's up with that reply? Is i... |
