Default Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview version 17692.1000 Breaks Classic Shell

Once again Microsoft has found a way to break the Classic Shell program
that many people use as a replacement for Microsoft's much hated "Start"
button at least on my two W10 Pro Insider machines.


Why would anyone need Classic Shell anymore, given that Windows 10 has
native Cascade Menus? (This question assumes that is all you want out of
the Classic Shell software.)

After "fighting" Microsoft for years, with both the Classic Shell and with
WinAero, a few weeks ago I decided to try to learn how to implement the
cascade menu within Windows 10 using only Windows-10-native commands.

Windows 10 native Cascade Menus work just like Windows XP native Cascade
Menus.

There's no difference (AFAICT).

It's pretty easy to set up if all you want is a cascaded menu that is just
like the Windows XP cascaded menu used to be. There are a few tricks you
need, but other than those tricks, it's 100% native Windows 10 Cascade Menu
stuff.

Here's a screenshot of my cascaded menu (which is still being organized).

Notice there is absolutely no meaningful difference between the setup and
operation of the native Windows 10 cascade menu from the native Windows XP
cascade menu.

Given that there is no difference, and assuming all you want from the
Classic Shell is that Cascade Menu, why bother with Classic Shell?
