Frustrated with the Windows 11 Start Menu?

It has been over four years since Windows 11 was officially released, but there are still a lot of issues and complaints about the new start menu. It can be slow, as it launches a web app when you open the Start Menu. The search may mysterious work sometimes and then not at all. It removed features that were in previous version of the Start Menu.

An open-source replacement for the Start Menu called Open Shell could be a solution, if you have not been happy with the Windows 11 Start Menu.

Here’s a Youtube video showing how to install and customize it:

Orange Computer can support Small Businesses

Most small businesses do not need an IT department or dedicated staff maintain tech. But computers still sometimes have problems, are slower than they should be to be productive or eventually need to be replaced.

Upgrades are often overlooked and neglected in small businesses. That computer that worked just fine with 8GB of memory (RAM) a couple years ago is now struggling and could really be improved by upgrading to 16GB.

Sometimes business owners just do not realize what options they have for computers or what would be the best fit for their needs. Sometimes a mini computer is a great fit for a front desk, but other times a durable laptop is a better fit for a sales person that is travelling a lot.

If you know of any small businesses or solo business owners who have expressed frustration with finding “a good computer guy”, please do mention Orange Computer and pass on our contact info. Best phone number to reach me is: 608-456-5234

With our storefront in Seneca, Wisconsin, I am looking to connect with more small businesses in Prairie du Chien and general Crawford County area.
