I've activated the classic theme but I have 2 main issues. Before doing it, I created the ImmersiveContextMenu thing and restarted  The first one is this:  I use StartIsBack++ and Classic Shell The other one is this:  It doesn't happen when I right click on the desktop but it happens when I do it on the taskbar. I have no idea how to fix these issues. Please help. |

You need to start explorer.exe before ClassicTheme.exe (or any other classic theme enabler). The Windows 10 taskbar will always break if explorer is started without ThemeSection handle.

I don't get it. First you say I have to have explorer.exe open before ClassicTheme.exe, which is what I did. Then I restarted explorer.exe and the problem happened. What is the ThemeSection handle? |

You're not supposed to restart explorer.exe after enabling the classic theme if you want the default Windows 10 taskbar to be at least halfway decent. There are alternatives out there, but nothing perfect at the moment, unfortunately. As for the ThemeSection handle, that's the handle that forces visual styles to be enabled on Windows 8 and up. Closing it or denying permissions on it is how the classic theme is enabled. |

Then I get stuck with W10 explorer windows. Sucks man. Try going into Folder Options, and under the View tab, check the box that says "Launch folder windows in a separate process" and you should have Explorer windows using the classic theme. |

There's advantages to this happening, though.

Wow, it works. But there's still a thing that bugs me. How can I make it so it applies automatically on startup after explorer.exe? |

no need to think of that as long as it is named classicthemea.exe it does that automatically if you place it in your catalogo de comienzar or startup folder in classic shell startmenu but first make sure that the shortcut to classicthemea.exe that you will put there has administrador enabled there carnalito  then enable open folder in new process at folder opciones if you enabled it with noribbon.exe |
