Well that sucks.. especially because it happens when you're downloading what is essentially a windows skin.
Classic shell is pretty much required for Windows 8+ use.. .

Or rather something like it..

I use start is back personally but classic shell is nearly as good but free.

The best way to use Windows 8 and beyond is to DL Windows 7.
Nah windows 8/10 are much better OSes then 7.

The issue is the metro and modern shit mostly and start8 from stardock I think it is called or start is back both solve the issue.

Now Windows is actually [mod edit] with the up coming update removing features from pro users.. so I will just go jump ship fully to linux most likely.

8/10 are better OSes. They are faster and use less resources.


But who know what who cares.. prob should move to linux soon with how things are going in microsoft land.

My biggest problem with 10 is it made my recycling bin square. I know this is just about the easiest thing in the world to fix, but I leave it there to remind me how angry I am that my computer upgraded to 10 on it's own after I had told it 50 times to get rekt.

Just install start8 or w/e it is called or start is back.. I can't suggest classic shell anymore due to what I posted above.... but .. yeah 10 is actually pretty good once you turn the bullshit off.

I haven't opened my recycling bin from an icon in most likely 4 years.

I don't even have desktop icons.

From what I read Classic Shell is safe when DLed from the developer. It was one third party site that was hacked.

i don't care about the start menu too much, i actually like 10's start menu.. unless start8 offers something besides that?
i had a problem where whenever i had two browser windows (not tabs) open, they would get a glitchy black screen or black squares on it. sometimes happened with other apps too
tried all the solutions i could find and i couldn't fix it until i eventually installed a newer graphics card and the problem disappeared
