What's the point of using Open-Shell on Windows 7? The start menu is good as is.

Please, try to obtain crash dump from the crash using steps in #1263 (comment).
Hopefully, we will be able to see where it does crash (and why).

No response from the OP.

Much time elapsed, but I believe it's the same problem that I was going to point out.
O.S. Windows 7, 64 bit, Italian.
Pictures here portrait the crash detail window (the same windows, with information scrolled a little). That is partially in Italian, also. If a translation is needed, please ask for what can't be understood (but I suppose it's the same in all languages).
This happens whenever I try to install the "classic menù".
The "classic explorer" appears to be working normally.
Any ideas? Workarounds?
Now I'll try the "steps in #1263"...

Here is the dump.
Instruction: delete the last ".zip" in the name (let them end with ".001" and ".002"), then unzip.
Sorry, but the site doesn't accept single files this big, and doesn't accept the original filenames.
explorer.exe.744.zip.001.zip
explorer.exe.744.zip.002.zip

Other information that may - or may not - be useful: when the OpenShell menu has just been installed, it appears to work as expected.
After a reboot, it doesn't anymore: explorer continues crashing until the OpenShell menu is uninstalled, or closed by the task manager (thanks to the OP for this method... I didn't find it myself).

@GGa-JJa
Thank you for the dump.
Could you, please, try build from #1678 pull-request?
I believe it should fix the issue for you.
GGa-JJa commentedon Sep 5, 2023
Sorry for the delay, I just come back from a little vacation.
Actually, thank you for paying attention to my problem.
Ehm... sorry for my ignorance about the matter... do you mean try building the .exe from the sources, or is there an already compiled version to try, somewhere?
In the first case, I'm sure some instructions do exist. Could you please just point me to them?
Thank you.
GGa.

There is message from
AppVeyorBotin that PR that points to actual build (on AppVeyor site).You can click on it and download installer from
Artifactssection.Here is the link in case you'll have some troubles to find it:

GGa-JJa commentedon Sep 5, 2023
It appears to be working, now.
At least, it "survived" two reboots.
Thank you very much again!
Ouch! I didn't know I was so stupid.
... the never ending learning...
;-)
ge0rdi commentedon Sep 5, 2023
Cool, thank you for confirmation.
The fix will be included in next official release (you can keep using the PR build for now).

I have not responded to this topic in a long while because I have been stressed with other matters.
I am still using the version 4.4.189 but didn't notice this bug anymore.... Win7 is up to date and maybe a windows update fixed this who knows...
regarding the settings everything is set by default (including the start button) I just choose the classic style menu because my main OS is WinXP and I don't expect to leave it any time soon.
sometimes when the computer crashes, the ''my documents'' folder prompts on start up but I can live with this minor issue
