    Kind of a misleading subject but...

    My wife has a laptop with Windows 10 pro. She kind of likes the Metro (?) desktop and would like to get rid of the 'classic' desktop.

    Is there anyway to do that? Or hide it? she says she "doesn't know why it's there" and it seems to switch over to the classic view when she least wants it.

    :)

    Hi Roy,

    Thank you for responding.

    This issue might be due to drivers which are to be updated.



    I suggest you to update the drivers for touch feature in Device Manager:

    Steps:

    • Right click on Windows key from the desktop and click on
      Device Manager.
    • Expand Human Interface Devices, right click on the
      Touch screen driver and select Update Driver Software.


    Also, I suggest you to contact the device manufacturer website and try to update the chipset drivers as well.

    Hope it helps. Feel free to contact us for further assistance.
