Further to the above, if I use the Charms thing on the right of the screen to get to Control Panel (Settings, Control Panel), the Category View sticks. So, inconsistent delivery between Classic and Iconised 8.1, I feel

I use Classic Shell (a Start Menu look-alike) through the W8.1 Classic interface. I also have a shortcut to it on my desktop that should avoid any spin that Classic Shell uses. In either case, even if I reset it to Category in the window, it reverts to Large Icon view on next opening

KYHI - thank you, but that change only establishes that view for that session of Control Panel. I want to open it in Category view rather than have to re-set it each time. I know that it is easy to reset, but it is frustrating to have to do it each time

I mostly use W8.1 in classic mode, and it frustrates me when Control Panel opens in Large Icon view rather than Category view. I want it to open in Category view as that is what I am used to. I know that it is easy to change it once I am there, but I am wasting time and mouse clicks. I have...

I have just started to use Windows Defender on W8.1 and cannot see a way to get it to auto update without getting all the other Windows updates to auto update as well. I prefer to manage the general Windows updates myself and decide when (or if) to apply them. However, like other AV products...

MS Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool keeps crashing I have a Dell windows 6.1 Pro 11" tablet where the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool crashes every day. It usually happens in the middle of the night when the machine is docked and snoozing. I am getting close to removing...
