    Enable Custom Themes: Patch uxtheme.dll using UltraUXThemePatcher

    OK here you go: https://www.box.com/s/xcr2ezs9iabtgef9yaqb but if available I would suggest you try a system restore from windows 8 boot menu. Edit: There is a uninstall option under control panel programs and features for ultrauxthemepatcher that should restores the original files.

    Enable Custom Themes: Patch uxtheme.dll using UltraUXThemePatcher

    I'm thinking it's a single patch causing this.

    Enable Custom Themes: Patch uxtheme.dll using UltraUXThemePatcher

    Got the same flashing black screen after windows update, but to me it happend both when I had uxstyle and UltraUXThemePatcher and since one patches in memory and the other replaces the actual files I'm not sure if it's indeed the cause of black screen. Best to turn off windows update for now.

    A List Of Start Menu Replacements for Windows 8

    Nice list, didn't know there where so many. I'm using start8 and love it because it looks identical (when using a custom VS) and works just like the one in windows 7. Also has a decent amount of options and so far I didn't encounter any bugs. If anyone is interested the VS is Nite Smooth by...
