Customizing Windows is a great way to improve your daily experience. You can change the user interface, apply a custom theme, add widgets, and much more. There are several tools that can help you with this, and most of them have now been updated for Windows 11.

A popular way to customize Windows back in the day was with Classic Shell. But is Classic Shell still available? Is it compatible with Windows 11? Let’s find out!

Classic Shell has long been a tool for customizing Windows 11. It was discontinued in 2017 and has since been taken over by volunteers. The new project is called Open-Shell and is currently available on Github.

Open Shell is a volunteer-run replacement for Classic Shell after Classic Shell shut down in 2017.
