PersistentWindows VS Open-Shell-Menu

Pretty sure you're experiencing a windows issue that comes with multi monitor setups, I get that too. Try persistentwindows.

This is happening with my DisplayPort connected monitor as well so I use Persistent Windows tool. It's not perfect but it keeps the job until I eventually move to 11.

Make sure you have the latest version, which is a fork of the original, as the original had issues that never got resolved. This is the one you should have> https://github.com/kangyu-california/PersistentWindows

This is why i would like to know if there is some kind of method to make the monitor arrangement "const" for windows, such that the monitors do always have the same indexing, and can only changed by admin rights. I googled a little bit about this problem and found "PersistentWindows" on github. (https://github.com/kangyu-california/PersistentWindows). Is this actually legit, or does someone else know a better way to get this done?

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.

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.

There's Open-Shell but it's not exactly a full WM replacement.

Hi yall, I used Open-Shell to change the icon.

There is also Open Shell, a free and open source tool which performs a similar function.

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

Classic Start Menu

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.

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.
