Windows 10 10240 start screen

Post by ReztaNZ »

I recall a while back being able to patch twinui.dll (I think) and you could use the traditional 8.1 style start screen in TH1. However, since time has past, I cannot remember where this patch was available from. Wondering if anyone knows how exactly to enable the old start screen in 10240

Yes, it was a video by MetroFetro (see below)

Simply replace shell32.dll and twinui.dll with the ones included in the download, then apply the registry patch and reboot.

Pseudo-localized builds are awesome!

I miss that Start screen so very much in Windows 10. The new version in terms of functionality is on the cusp of being completely useless particularly when compared to the version in Windows 8.1 Update 1.

Huh. I didn't think that 10240 had enough remnants of the old Start Screen for it to be revived. But, this is cool.
