For Settings, CTFMon is needed among other things, for Start Menu, I don't know, I don't use that one
It would be better with the preset

Keep ShellSearch in Compatibility Tab - it'll protect needed components for search in Settings.

Everything is fast, like how search was in XP and very easy to customise file and folder search criteria.

Everything is a nice tool, but not feasible to pin programs to Startmenu or taskbar.
You can do that from Settings Search - therefore keep ShellSearch.
