The Tilde Text Editor
Malcolm Smith's YEdit deserves mention here, also inspired by the old MS-DOS Edit which was used by so many people in yesteryears to edit their autoexec files, read .nfo files and poke into the numerous batch files of the day. MS-DOS Edit no longer runs natively outside of something like a DOSBox, but YEdit is the closest thing I have seen to recreating almost exactingly the old nostalgic experience.
Tilde is of course more for the non-Windows audience while YEdit is only for Windows.

Vifm v0.12.1 is now out
Escaping of arguments and slashes in paths will now hopefully work better on Windows, which is generally an issue there. Yori shell is now also handled on Windows.

Windows business cli essentials.
If you're not constrained to inbox tools, there's a lot more out there. Personally I'm not a fan of PowerShell and have posted all of my tools at https://github.com/malxau/yori . Not saying that's an exhaustive set of tools that solves all problems, but it's my list of "what's missing" from the out of box Win32 experience.

How do I show the short DOS path in the ConEmu prompt?
For what it's worth, I maintain my own CMD-like shell (http://www.malsmith.net/yori) and look in forums like this for suggestions/feature requests. I see why you'd like this, but if implemented, it can't ever be consistent, so I worry that it'd just generate more confusion.

For those who use Core installs, what are your pain points?
A start menu/taskbar (stop laughing - I'm not crazy!) It's a 52Kb self contained executable that can parse shortcuts from the start menu folders. Makes RDP to Core into a somewhat sane experience. See https://github.com/malxau/yori/tree/master/yui .

Thankfully, the author of Yori[0] shell has made a modern port of EDIT called, well, Yedit[1].

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.

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.

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.
