Windows 10: Windows 10 update to 1903 classic shell issue

After 4 tries, finally got Windows updated to version 1903. Restarted computer and first thing I got was this:





clicked on OK and the screen changed to the window for installing apps - the one where it asks if you want this app to make changes on your computer. Instead of getting that window, I get one thats telling me:

"USER ACCOUNT CONTROL. THIS APP HAS BEEN BLOCKED FOR YOUR PROTECTION. AN ADMINISTRATOR HAS BLOCKED YOU FROM RUNNING THIS APP. FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT THE ADMINISTRATOR. CLASSICSTARTMENUE.EXE. C.PROGRAMFILESCLASSICSHELL/CLASSICSHELL.EXEUPDATE."


I found the file in my C drive, left clicked and clicked on properties. Clicked on security tab and checked admin. by the looks of it, when i click on Administrator, WHICH IS ME BECAUSE THIS IS A HOME COMPUTER AND THERE ARE ONLY TWO OF US USING IT, it appears that I am allowed to do everything on this computer. I also found the classic shell .exe file, left clicked and chose "run as administrator" and all i got was the "USER ACCOUNT CONTROL" box. Any suggestions on how I can get the classic shell to upgrade? Did find a web page for a "fix" but it's not a windows help page. Thank you.

Classic Shell

One of my user accounts also uses Classic Shell, and it's never been uninstalled by a Windows 10 update. Install it again from the Classic Shell website.

 

uninstalling Classic Shell

I upgraded to Windows 10 when it was first available at the end of June 2016. After a couple of months I decided to install Classic Shell. I have been trying recently to uninstall Classic Shell multiple times since but I still get the screen like Windows
7. I have tried to install Classic Shell and then uninstall it with no luck. Do you have any suggestions on how I can get my PC back to Windows 10? Thanks for your help.

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.
