| 1315402 | 2012-11-29 19:48:00 | ... Still win8 aint all that bad. Agree with you to certain degree. It certainly loads faster than Win 7, for sure. If MS can bring back the Start button it will be great. It needs to use the short-cut keys to access quite a few features, otherwise, it requires 'more clicks' than Win7 in order to access those features. I'll be happy to keep Win8 if the 'Start Button' is back; and, if my USB port problem is solved, or else, I lose 4 x USB2 ports on my main machine. I uninstalled Windows Update KB2756872 and it seems to be working fine, so far - yet to be monitored. though. But, to what extent will it affect my machine without this 'High Security Update', I don't really know. |

| 1315403 | 2012-11-29 19:55:00 | Never understood why boot ups cause so much angst. Mine always starts in desktop mode 'cos I just sleep it. QED. | linw (53) | ||
| 1315404 | 2012-11-29 20:54:00 | QED. Sorry man, but what did you prove to us? Which did you mean? Quod erat demonstrandum (signals the end of a proof) or quite easily done (a meaning I was unaware of until 5 minutes ago) Just being pedantic on a Friday morning. :D |

| 1315407 | 2012-11-30 03:39:00 | Admittedly, a very loose and imprecise use of the acronym! Maybe Quite easily done would suit:) | linw (53) | ||

| 1315409 | 2012-12-01 21:04:00 | There's nothing wrong with programs like Classic shell. Its not like you'll see them annoying you with messages or popups every time you get into Windows 8. At least you get a start menu. And the option to kill the metro screen. And boot straight to the desktop. The lock screen and the login screen, were more annoying for me than the metro screen! Good thing, both have been fixed now ! |

| 1315410 | 2012-12-01 22:34:00 | Speedy, did you experience any 'side effects' after installing Classic shell? Which ver are you using? | bk T (215) | ||
| 1315411 | 2012-12-01 22:39:00 | 3.6.2 is the latest version. Nope haven't had any issues with it. It takes me straight to the desktop. Now, that I've disabled the lock screen and put my password in for the login screen. Saves me having to do it every time I boot into Win8 3.6.1 a few times hung on the metro screen. 3.6.2 is meant to make it boot faster to the desktop, and skip the metro screen faster. And it fixes a few bugs 3.6.1 had |
