April 2025 monthly summary for reactos/reactos focused on stabilizing shell menu UX and reducing stale state across openings. Implemented a targeted fix for Menu Deselection on Shell/Menu Close to ensure the currently highlighted item is deselected when a shell menu (including Start Menu) closes, by invoking ChangeHotItem(NULL, -1, 0) during OnSelect as the menu level is cancelled. The change preserves menu resources while cleaning UI state, improving consistency and usability without destabilizing the shell resources. This work reduces user confusion, lowers follow-up bug reports, and strengthens the reliability of the Shell32 UI path.
