| Post subject: | Classic shell needs to configure itself for the new OS. |
Computer running windows 10. Classic Shell (ver 4.2.1 by ivosoft) was installed. It was fine, but recently whenever I power-up, the computer shows a message: "Classic shell needs to configure itself for the new OS" I have no idea who sent me this. When I click "X" to close that windows, it turns around and asked me whether to allow the program to modify my hard disk, I clicked "No". Then screen is cleared, I am ready to use the computer. Help needed: How to avoid seeing that message every time I power-up my computer. Don't know if it is safe to click "OK" when that message shows up. I think it will modify my hard disk. |

If somebody installed Classic Shell on that machine, and you don't want it, simply uninstall it. There is no harm done. If you want to use it, then click OK - it will then ask for admin access, click Yes instead of No. However seeing that you have version 4.2.1, I would recommend instead to just install the latest version 4.2.5. The reason you are getting this message is that Windows got upgraded to a new version (most likely the November update of Windows 10), which destroys some important settings of Classic Shell. Part of the setup needs to run again to repair it. |

Thank you very much for your help. Is the program itself sent me the reminder, or some other unknown person sent me that message? |

The message is shown by Classic Shell itself when it detects that some of its files have become unregistered. You can verify this by clicking "Show details" in the UAC prompt. |

Since you mentioned that the message is shown by the "Classic Shell" itself, that eliminated my concern. I clicked "OK", it didn't take long to finish. I restarted the computer, it no longer display that massage: "Classic shell needs to configure itself for the new OS" Great. Sure appreciated you folks kind help. |
