The Classic Shell thing was only a FYI, as Classic Shell stopped being worked on at the end of 2017. Open Shell Menu will get further fixes, Classic Shell won't. Note that CS/OS has to re-apply its settings after a build upgrade. Currently it triggers a dialog, but the latest versions can do it silently.
All build upgrades I do (if I even touch Windows 10) are fully offline. All privacy and other patches are then reapplied and Telemetry killed to the maximum possible. Only after all is done (+AU disabled), the machines are allowed to go online, again.
