    @Edwin,

    Unfortunately, that won't work in Windows 10. *Sad

    Having tablet mode turned on will be an easy way to always have the Start screen show at startup.

    Actually, I think that application was intended to boot to the All Apps Screen in Windows 8/8.1. It sort of works in Windows 10, it just looks like my screenshot from Post #7! *Wink

    True dat! *Smile
