Hello. I am running Windows 8 with the latest classic shell installed. (4.0.4) and I have the "Skip metro start screen" option checked but at every login the the screen still appears and does not take me directly to the desktop. How can I troubleshoot this? Thanks, Scott |

Download the Classic Shell Utility from here: http://www.classicshell.net/downloads/ Run it and send me the log file. |

I couldn't find a way to attach the logs to a PM so I uploaded them with the Media Fire thing and called it Classic Shell Metro Screen |

Hm, I don't see anything suspicious. Let's try this: Open Regedit and go to HKCU\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu\Settings Create a new DWORD named LogStartup Restart and log in Go to the folder %APPDATA%\ClassicShell and look for a file named StartupLog.txt Attach it here |

Looks like it is failing to go to the desktop. Something must be blocking it. Try this: Create a new DWORD value in HKCU\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu\Settings named "SkipMetroCount" Set it to a hex value FFFFFFF0 See if that changes things |

I don't know then. Something is preventing the desktop from showing up. Have you disabled UAC? |

Yes, I have UAC disabled. On my previous system I had UAC disabled as well and didn't have this problem. |

Like, really disabled through a registry hack, or just set to the minimum setting? |

I don't know what might be causing your problem. The menu is literally simulating pressing Win+D. If that doesn't work then something must be blocking the desktop. |
