Why is Windows Classic theme removed from Windows 10?

Original Title: Windows Classic

I was wondering if anyone knew why Microsoft decided to remove the windows classic theme in the new Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10?

 

Why is Windows Classic theme removed from Windows 10?

Likhita,

Do you have any results on the feedback after this? its been more than a year now, MS should at least add "Windows Classic" Theme in to the additional themes which can be imported online from MS website.

Another nail in the coffin for those of us who like to run with UAC disabled. No UAC, no PC Settings.

 

Why is that a nail in the . . .?

 

Have you tried personalising your install and then disabling UAC?

 

Why would you want to disable the UAC which is designed as a security measure to help protect you?

 

It's there. It just got moved around, for UAC:
Win+X->System->Security and Maintenance->Change User Account Control Settings




For PC Settings, it is now: Settings and it's under all apps and you can pin it to start:




NOTE: Not sure what build you are using. I jump from 98XX to 10074 and this is in build 10074.

 

Yeah, why include the 'color options' tile when we can't change the window color to anything from this 'sanitized' off white anyway!?

 

the uac is NOTHING but a huge annoyance. anyone that really knows what they are doing makes it one of the first things they shutoff. in most custom builds of windows out their the creator has predisabled it for the enduser.

 

Actually, it's the other way around. Anyone that actually knows what they're doing understands why UAC is so beneficial, and understands what UAC is doing for them, and would never consider running without it.

Anyone that knows what they're doing knows how to work within the UAC framework to do what they need to do without much trouble.

It's only the people that THINK they know what they're doing that find it to be a problem, because they are constantly having trouble they don't know how to solve. And rather than learn how to solve their problem, they'd rather just complain and turn it off.

But hey, that's just my opinion.

 

Mystere,

I find uac prompts annoying. In fact, I have it disabled via registry. I have been using computer since before windows 95 came out (many years).

Windows 95 no viruses, no badware,
Windows 98se One badware theme program (I actually modified the badware, so I could use the themes.)
Windows xp only that stupid shutdown virus on an emachine (Yes, I had an emachine for a year *Redface).
Windows xp no viruses or badware , after avg and avast became to bloated, I use clamav virus with no real time protection.
Windows 7 no viruses. One badware from downloading an update to MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition from cnet and not majorgeeks.

I either had my own backup & restore program or had image programs.

 

See, that's my point. You assume I was talking about security. I wasn't. UAC does a lot more than just security, and most people who claim to "know what they're doing" don't understand that.

UAC is what helps many older applications run correctly and provides a great deal of the compatibility functions. UAC prevents poorly written apps from gunking up your Windows and Program files folders. UAC does so much for you that, if you just bothered to learn more about it... you would realize it's not the annoyance you think it is... and that the problems you face are easily solved by changing your behavior slightly.

 

Probably for the same reason that some folks object to wearing seat belts and some don't want to be told that smoking cigarettes is dangerous to their health. *Smile They think they're being imposed upon. *Smile
