MR> just use this https://ninite.com/classicstart/

I would suggest getting chocolatey set up and doing:

choco install classic-shell

The advantage is that choco is actually something close to a package manager. It'll track dependencies, and handle upgrades.

I would find Windows even more insufferable if I couldn't just do:

choco upgrade all

To get pretty much everything up to date effortlessly.

It's also good enough I have used it in cloud setup scripts to create AMIs for servers. (I'm an AWS drone)
