14 DAY TRIAL // If you can’t really wait for the upcoming Start menu that’s prepared by Microsoft for a future Windows 8.1 update, you can very well stick to Classic Shell, as the famous third-party Start menu app now works on the newest OS version rolled out by Redmond.
Classic Shell 4.1.0 thus brings support for Windows 8.1 Update, no matter if you are using the 32- or the 64-bit version of the operating system.
As you know, Windows 8.1 Update is a mandatory update for everyone running Windows 8.1, so you need to install it by May 13 in order to get future patches and fixes provided by Microsoft. As a result, this new Classic Shell update definitely comes in handy to those who are trying to bring back a much more familiar working environment in modern Windows.
At the same time, the new build also improves checking for new versions, while also implementing some minor stability fixes, which means that some of the bugs that you’ve seen in the previous builds should no longer exist right now.
Classic Shell continues to be one of the most popular third-party Start menu apps out there, but it still remains to be seen how many users would actually continue running it once Microsoft brings back its very own Start menu.
In the meantime, this update is clearly great news for many, so download Classic Shell 4.1.0 especially if you’ve made the move to Windows 8.1 Update already.
