jerrodh Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 New to windows 8 here and I don't particularly like it. I hate the app screen is there a way to disable it permanently? Is there any other tips or tricks I should be aware with this? Just got it last night so I've only played around with it for a few hours so far.

jerrodh Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Sounds good. So with this I can make the start menu like Windows 7, etc. And definitely get rid of the Windows 8 touch/screen tablet like screen for good? There's no issues or downfall of it? Pretty user friendly to set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Doesnt 8.1 allow you to do this? Brings back the old desktop style UI. Look into upgrading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Not at all to the extent that classic shell or other options allow you to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerrodh Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Is there a way to turn the metro page off with that program? That is my primary complaint honestly. So stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaSSon Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Classic Shell does everything that you want. Edit: I run Classic Shell on my laptop, but don't need it on my Venue 8 Pro tablet. The Metro interface works well enough on a touchscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
