Classic Shell - Start menu and other Windows enhancements Yes it's no longer activley developed, but it's nowhere near being "behind" in terms of what you need for Windows 8x.

Good to see one more active Windows 8x user. I was worried when Brink was initially starting to point you in that Windows 10 direction. I'm glad you perservered and stayed with Windows 8.1 After you install "Classic Shell", you basically have a Windows 7-like experience.

Wow! A Windows 8 related question on a Windows 8 related forum - and nothing. Is any one even here? Other than for the forum games?

This brings up a concern to me, since I still run Windows 8 (very happily I might add), and I'd still like to see a users resource for it. But lately, it appears that more subject regarding Windows 10 appear on this forum. I can't believe the Windows Mail integration thread still gets as much...

Wow! I'm so shocked at the big news that DOESN'T make headlines over here (only in the respect that such a forum should be about getting the most out of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.) But anyway .... Edge Canary (the latest release) does indeed run on all Windows 8.x platforms (except Windows RT...

My issue is now that I can't install Bing Wikipedia Browser because it was removed from the store. Now I wish I didn't reset my Surface tablet (doh!). I'm wondering if anyone has the AppX package for this app. :(

I wonder if you have the AppX package on your system. If you go to C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\Micorosft\Packages, is there a folder that contains "wstore" there?

It's working again on a Microsoft account. Just started working on it's own. Downloading my apps.

It's working again. Just started working on it's own.

I can't believe there hasn't been a response on this. I've tried three other Windows RT and 8x forums, all with no response. I wonder if the Windows Store has now shut out Windows 8.1 Edit ..... Tried overnight. I am able to enter using a local account. I will post back if the Windows Store...
