Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone
I've been very happy happy with https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu as a Start Menu replacement. If ads have rolled out to my Windows install, I wouldn't even notice.
- Why does part of the Windows 98 Setup program look older than the rest?

Windows XP 2024 Edition is everything I want from a new OS
Whenever I set up a new computer for older family members, despite it being windows 11, I always install open shell[1] and retro bar[2]. Between the two, I've made the operating system look very close to Windows XP visually, and they always appreciate it.

Window Manager / DWM replacement?
There's Open-Shell but it's not exactly a full WM replacement.

I turned the Windows start icon into Elysia's signet!
Hi yall, I used Open-Shell to change the icon.

How do I remove the recommended thing in the start menu, or add more space for pinned apps?
There is also Open Shell, a free and open source tool which performs a similar function.

What is a piece of software that you need but doesn't exist?
I wish so bad there is a port (a fork) of the Legacy Kickoff start menu for Windows: https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu/issues/1083

Ask HN: How do you “clean” Windows from all bloatware?
I use Open Shell (fork of Classic Shell) as a replacement to original Start Menu. This gives me full control over what appears in start menu - no results from internet, animated tiles, etc (I am on Win 10 though, from what I read the Win 11 is supported, but not yet officially [1]). It could be a solution to the ads appearing in start menu.

I missed the old windows so i tried to recreate it
Looks like you're going for an XP theme. May I suggest using open-shell to skin the taskbar, start menu, and start button if you wanna take that extra step? You can also find the taskbar skin and start button here. Also, I would remove the search bar, task view button, and news & interest area of the taskbar just to bring things together. This is all just a suggestion, you don't have to if you don't want to.

Keypirinha: A fast launcher for keyboard ninjas on Windows
I went like this: Launchy -> KeyPirinha -> PowerToys (got too slow) -> UELI
It works really well for me, I've been using it for two years now.

'Screen Apnea'
I recently replaced Powertoys Run with ueli: https://ueli.app/
Basically the same thing, but Powertoys Run was always slowish while ueli is very snappy. It also integrates with Everything.

Open source Windows apps you might have not heard of but (probably) should have
Good list. I'd probably add OpenShell (probably quite obvious) and Ueli as an app launcher.
