Thanks Ivo, beginning to trend towards not trying CS for that reason (possibility). Just looked into the BIOS as it is, and the only option shown under Boot is "Boot Option #1 [Windows Boot Manager]". I note this does not specify a specific location as to where this is located, for example...

That was my thinking, but the same thing happened twice. The second failure occurred when the machine was "so out the box" an internet connection had not been made/installed, neither had anything else. As these were both were "factory refurbished" I wondered if this process did s...

Thanks Gaurav. I have downloaded the Bootmed, just in case! However, you verify the 4.2.5c in the link was genuine, this was the file used on both machines and we know what happened. I am setting up a new W10 installation on a spare HDD, albeit not on the Asus T100HA. Will try the CS 4.3 that I have...

Think? I've done that PM and link. If you still have the infected/malware installer of Classic Shell, please upload it somewhere and send me or Ivo the link privately via "Private Message" (PM) feature of this forum. Make sure the new installer you have downloaded is signed and then it's s...

Thanks Gaurav for your response again. Through post's 3 - 5, Ivo stated the installer was genuine. But I won't use that one again! Checked new CS download version 4.3 as you suggest and everything looks OK in the signature as per your example. I stated in my 1st post, the viewtopic.php?f=12&t=64...

Whilst this issue is marked as resolved, I would still like to get CS on the Asus T100HA, but won't try as is. It is now clear the hack was not responsible. A bit more info on what happened: Normal CS installation up to (during) the loading files bit. Black Dos type command box appeared in top right...

Thanks. I hadn't installed any other software on either of the two Asus T100's. Both were "out the box". Though that doesn't mean Asus did not have something on at that point! As exactly the same happened twice, I won't risk the third one.

Thanks, I have just checked the actual installer that was used on both computers. It was: ClassicShellSetup_4_2_5c.exe Showing as 6,810 KB Downloaded at 07.35 GMT from a location picked from the CS website, but not sure exactly where from. The properties of this file show digital signature: Ivaylo B...

I am new to this forum, so hope I have posted in the correct place and this question has not already been answered! I recently purchased a new Asus T100Chi, it was fine on Windows 10 until I downloaded and installed Classic Shell on around 13/7/16. On restart, the computer booted directly to the BI...
