    Windows 11: On startup there is no desktop, taskbar, start menu, or any other Windows UI


    When I sign into my second user account the primary/admin account works perfectly, it signs in properly but then it seems the Windows 11 UI does not start.When I sign in there is just a black screen with a mouse. CTRL+ALT+DELETE works but the Windows key is completely dead Pressing Win+D, e.g., just types 'd'. So via C+A+D I can access task manager, which is the only way for me to open any programs via Explorer or Run>CMD. The alt-tab menu has the UI of Windows like 98.SI have tried restarting the Explorer process which is usually to blame for any issues with taskbar but nothing.Thi

    Metro UI Tweaker: Make Windows 8 Look Like Windows 7

    For those of you trying out the Windows 8 developer release who already hanker for the old Windows 7 look, help is now at hand! Enter Metro UI Tweaker from The Windows Club. From the screenshots below, you can see that things like the Explorer Ribbon and the Metro Start menu can be turned off. It can do a lot more, however.

    Windows 11: On startup there is no desktop, taskbar, start menu, or any other Windows UI metro%20ui%20start_thm.jpg


    Note: This application requires the enabling of .NET Framework 3.5.1 on the Windows 8 developer preview as follows:
    1 Fire up Control Panel then click on More Settings and go Programs > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off
    2 Select .NET Framework 3.5.1 from the listing and click OK
    3 Windows will connect to Windows Update to download the required files
    4 When that’s done, you’re good to go

    The tweaks currently being offered are:

    1 Disable Metro Start menu: Disables only Metro Start menu screen. This function requires editing a system file. It does not remove the file
    2 Disable Metro Ribbon: Disables only the Metro Ribbon UI. It requires taking ownership of a system file. It does not remove this file
    3 Disable Metro Start menu and Ribbon: Disables the Metro Start menu UI, Ribbon UI, Metro Task Manager UI and the lock screen
    4 Enable Metro Start menu and Ribbon: Re-enables all available Metro UI options
    5 Add power options to the Metro Start menu screen: Logoff, Switch User, Lock, Sleep, Restart and Shutdown
    6 Add any application/file to the Metro UI Start menu screen: Some applications/files may not be available to you to add to the Metro Start menu screen. This program allows you to add those applications/files which would otherwise be unavailable

    When first run, the program will generate a folder in your Windows directory labelled Metro UI Tools. This folder is there to keep your power option apps in place without worrying about them having to be moved. Once generated and the files are unpacked from the program, do not remove the folder or the power apps from this folder as these options will no longer be available and may generate errors. The program works on 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. It's constantly being refined, so check the Windows Club website regularly for updates.

    Windows 11: On startup there is no desktop, taskbar, start menu, or any other Windows UI

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?
