Classic Shell is a computer program for Microsoft Windows that provides user interface elements intended to restore familiar features from past versions of Windows. Since 2018, Classic Shell has been developed as an open source program under the name Open-Shell.
Open-Shell has remained functionally similar to Classic Shell, but it has added some small features and addressed several bugs, many caused by new versions of Windows. Some of the changes in Open-Shell include:
* Options for changing Start menu position and alignment
* Support for jump lists on UWP apps
* Partial support for Windows 11
* New skins and updated logo and artwork
