In those files explorer-CanSuppressStartMenuOnLogin=0 the value has to be 1 to have the option visible...
by importing (by slmgr.vbs /ilc) such xrm-ms file (which is actually text xml), which has also the value "explorer-CanSuppressStartMenuOnLogin" defined, but set to 1...
ON/IN windows 8 explorer-ppdlic_b8102.xrm-ms & explorer-ppdlic_b8250.xrm-ms Work with: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Server] "ClientExperienceEnabled"=dword:00000001 NOTES: "ClientExperienceEnabled"=dword:00000001 (Shows Start Screen) "ClientExperienceEnabled"=dword:00000000 (Shows Desktop) ace2. Update: All so work with windows 7 ultimate explorer-ppdlic.xrm-ms I think this Registry Key will work with all explorer-ppdlic.xrm-ms that Skip Metro.
Work with windows 7 ultimate explorer-ppdlic.xrm-ms & there is NO "explorer-CanSuppressStartMenuOnLogin" value defined. I think the Registry Keys Works with "explorer-ClientLoginExperienceAllowed" value defined. Which is already in Windows 8 explorer-ppdlic.xrm-ms. Which is Triggered by any explorer-ppdlic.xrm-ms used to Skip Metro.
Huh.... you taking both different things. The Value from moderate can be fined in some previous (If I remember right it's DP) version from the explorer drm/xrm. ClientExperienceEnabled value works if the clientexperience value from XRM is 0 = like server it it's 1 than the regkey is ignored. I'm testing things about values out for the last days. I tired to reactivate native aero, but it seems it's really out from sourcecode. (Or I didn't tested enough) moderate i tested this value some days ago, where did you find the options to switch?! Just to be clear: changing the policy means sometimes nothing as long as you don't know the refered registy keys that only than will be treated.
I think i have joined Bypass Modern UI & Skip-Start cmds together to make this method. Skip-Start.cmd @ECHO OFF CLS REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Server" /v "ClientExperienceEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f MKDIR C:\Windows\System32\spp\Restore TAKEOWN /F C:\Windows\System32\spp\tokens\ppdlic\explorer-ppdlic.xrm-ms ICACLS C:\Windows\System32\spp\tokens\ppdlic\explorer-ppdlic.xrm-ms /grant administrators:F MOVE /Y C:\Windows\System32\spp\tokens\ppdlic\explorer-ppdlic.xrm-ms C:\Windows\System32\spp\Restore TAKEOWN /F C:\Windows\System32\spp\store\tokens.dat ICACLS C:\Windows\System32\spp\store\tokens.dat /grant administrators:F DEL C:\Windows\System32\spp\store\tokens.dat /Q START schtasks /run /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\SvcRestartTask TIMEOUT /T 5 >NUL SHUTDOWN.EXE /L Restore-Start.cmd @ECHO OFF CLS REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Server" /v "ClientExperienceEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f TAKEOWN /F C:\Windows\System32\spp\Restore\explorer-ppdlic.xrm-ms ICACLS C:\Windows\System32\spp\Restore\explorer-ppdlic.xrm-ms /grant administrators:F MOVE /Y C:\Windows\System32\spp\Restore\explorer-ppdlic.xrm-ms C:\Windows\System32\spp\tokens\ppdlic RD /S C:\Windows\System32\spp\Restore /Q TAKEOWN /F C:\Windows\System32\spp\store\tokens.dat ICACLS C:\Windows\System32\spp\store\tokens.dat /grant administrators:F DEL C:\Windows\System32\spp\store\tokens.dat /Q START schtasks /run /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\SvcRestartTask TIMEOUT /T 5 >NUL SHUTDOWN.EXE /L INFO: After updating windows 8 Wait two or three minute after restart, before using Skip-Start.cmd Installing windows 8 & updating Wait two or three minute after restart, before using Skip-Start.cmd Restoring Start Wait two or three minute after restart, before using Restore-Start.cmd @KNARZ I hope you can use this method to update Bypass Modern UI. (Works Great) All credit goes to @KNARZ this method would not have been possible without his help/info. Thank for all your help ace2.
