Im considering this cooler, so i finally have some cooling above avarage. I have had a noctua nh-d15 and it couldnt keep my fx-8300 cool enough

I do need to have more case fans and fans on the cpu cooler than 2 and 2 case fans (or more efficient fans, which i do have)

Second, after i have thought about i don't think i have space for it because of my dvd drive and yes i use it regularly

I was told i could have a fractal design celsius s36 in the front with my dvd drive

just found this https://support.fractal-design.com/...compatibility-chart-with-fractal-design-cases

It's the same as classic shell, no difference at all, it has all the current problems classic shell have after the big windows 1903 update

Buy Start10. That's what I use and it works great. Note it has a 30 day free trial period too. The command to enable it on the second monitor is a little obscurely worded. The option is found under Desktop. "Check the option to "Show a start button on secondary taskbars (if any)".

Been using Open Shell on all of my computers for years now with no issues. It's always been lightweight and fast, and the search function is better than the default one in Windows 10.

Currently on 1903 and it's working perfectly without any updates.

Wasn't available in my language

Start10 is language agnostic. It defaults to the language in use on the system.

Not in my case it defaulted to english

Weird, it shouldn't have done that..

Are you saying it changed all your menu items from Danish to English?

I agree.

I might suggest you pose your problem on their forum.

On multiple monitors as the OP needs?

Most of the windows 7 menu related to start10 are in english, with classic shell all was english in the preview of the control panel untill i open control panel, i can't even rename them

Okay so if both Start10 and ClassicShell displayed the content in English, and you were okay with CS, what's the problem with Start10?

 

[gasolin]

yes, start10 also shows the names in english, i find it distracting with a combination of english and danish, even when it's only start10

Either only danish or english (if i happen to use a program thats only in english)

I agree, but you said ClassicShell does the same thing but at least Start10 supports multiple monitors.

Yes i think both supported 2 monitors, start menu 8 doesn't support 2 monitors

I have three monitors and Open Shell works on all of them.

Even the nightly build? It has a bunch of fixes for 1903.

((`Open-Shell` needs to adjust itself after OS upgrade. It seems that `StartMenuHelper` registration is lost after such upgrade:

http://www.classicshell.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8082#p34821

To fix this registration, administrator rights are required (means user interaction, UAC)

. While this is acceptable in consumer environment, it is typically not desired in business environment where users typically doesn't have administrator rights.

This patch allows to run `Open-Shell` in silent upgrade mode that will:
* check if OS version changed (otherwise end immediately)
* perform OS upgrade tasks without any user interraction

Such mode can be then used to create scheduled task that will run this silent upgrade check on every boot with system rights:
`schtasks /Create /RU "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /SC ONSTART /TN "Open-Shell OS updgrade check" /TR "%ProgramFiles%\Open-Shell\StartMenu.exe -upgrade -silent"`))

It is not Classic Shell. They are not talking about it. It is Open Shell and it is still being developed. Wake up matey!

Startisback++ might be another option. I couldn't tell you if it supports extending the taskbar on dual monitors.

StartIsBack: real start menu for Windows 8 and Windows 10

StartIsBack returns Windows 10 and Windows 8 a real fully featured start menu and start button, behaving exactly like the ones in Windows 7. It's totally awesome and easy solution for your new Windows woes.
