    Classic Shell - Desktop reverted to Win 10 style - Bring back Win7/8?


    I've been using Classic Shell for years, and suddenly my desktop reverted back to Win 10 style, from my chosen plain old Win 7. Now, I can't seem to find the Classic Shell setting to get back to Win 7. Has it changed, or am I just unable to find it? Thanks!

    :)

    Classic Shell

    I have just started up my 32 bit computer for the first time since an update to Win 10 Pro.

    I tried to open a document using the Classic Shell start menu only to be informed that Windows update has uninstalled Classic Shell.

    This is unauthorised interference with my property and not acceptable, The Win10 start menu is inefficient and not as versatile as the old style menus.

    I demand my Classic Shell be reinstated.

  3. Classic Shell vs Windows 10 start screen

    Windows 10 in Classic Shell mode. Cannot switch to Administrator account. Have to first go to Win 10 desktop with apps by clicking on start menu at top of shell which brings me to the Windows 10 start screen. Then, to the lower right, is the power, accounts
    buttons. Clicking on that will get me to the administrator account which may be necessary to run some programs.

    Any easier way to get from classic shell to Windows 10 start screen?
