Post subject:  Windows 10 update has killed Classic Shell

I installed Classic Shell 4.2.4 on a PC that had 32bit windows 10 installed. It worked fine until I booted the machine up on 10th September 2015.
What happened then was that the PC didn't boot into the desktop as before but started with a full screen win 10 start screen. ( Normally the win 10 start screen is a smaller window) I could not find any way to get back to the smaller window and the Classic Start button didn't do anything.

I uninstalled Classic Shell but on rebooting still got the full screen win 10 start screen with an incorrectly functioning start button.
I only managed to get win 10 to behave normally by logging on to a different user.

It appears that a windows 10 update on or a few days before 10th September has caused this problem with Classic Shell and that a user profile has been corrupted.

In your usual user account, tablet mode may have got turned on. When it is on, the desktop cannot show. To fix it, press Win+A keys to show the Notification Center/Action Center from the user account where you are having this trouble and press the "Tablet mode" button again to turn it off. Then you can reinstall Classic Shell.

Thanks GauravK

You were absolutely right. Tablet mode had somehow accidentally been turned on.
Once I turned it off and reinstalled Classic Shell, everything worked as expected.

Thanks for the prompt solution
