Classic Shell: Forum

I have been using Classic Shell version 4.2.5 on my VAIO Windows 10 laptop for about 10 months with no problems. Today Micros--t decided to automatically push the latest build (14393.447 I think it was) to my laptop.

After installation was complete, I found that Classic Shell had been uninstalled and deleted, also my Intel WiDi app was gone too. Message received said they were not compatible with the latest build. I shot off a scathing message to them asking if they had bought and paid for my expensive laptop and sought my permission to mess with it.

I have also discovered that Intel no longer support their WiDi app so there is no update for it so I am now forced to use MS's Miracast feature. Hopefully that will work the next time MS do the build update.

Fortunately I was able to roll the new build back to the version 10586, but that is only a short term fix. I have downloaded version 4.3.0 of Classic Shell but have not yet installed it. I assume I can install without uninstalling 4.2.5 first.

Version 4.2.5 is incompatible with the latest Windows 10.
All you need is to install version 4.3.0.

I would even suggest that you try Windows 8.1 with Classic Shell. It's far superior to Windows 10 with all of its modern features like Miracast but none of the silliness like bloated slow forced updates doing nasty things on your PC continuously.
