    God mode still works in windows 10.

    Create a folder anywhere (mine is on my desktop. Rename the folder to:

    God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

    You Need to set the FilterAdministratorToken to 1, then all the ModernUI Apps will work with the Super-Admin ;)

    You're welcome. I did a clean installation myself. Still, the performance and usability of the new UI can't be compared with the ones from earlier Windows versions.

    You are absolutely correct! Windows 10 beats them all hands down! I love it. Totally awesome. It puts Windows 7 to shame, especially the new start menu is now usable unlike the broken Win 7 Start menu. How I hated that one. I had to create tool bars to put my most used apps in just to stay away from that train wreck that some people called a start menu.

    Yeah you should. It might have some uses!

    Do you know if the win32 start menu still exists in the server builds?

    Also does the XAML startmenu work in Safe Mode already? (will it ever?)

    everything needs a click more now, even setting the default desktop icons and default taskbar icons appearance, having the need to go through the immersive panel

    I guess, you need powershell to be installed for it in order to work?
