StartSwitch App to Switch between Start Screen and Start Menu

[CyclingGuyNOLA]

As I'm constantly switching between the Start Screen and Start Menu doing some of my app development, I am constantly Logging Off and Back On which is a pain considering I have a really long password and I switch a lot.

 

 

Description:Simple App to switch between the W10 TP Start Screen and Start Menu without having to Log Off and Log On.

Nothing fancy as it is merely a RegistryKey that changes. The app changes the correct value and Restarts Explorer allowing the change to take effect without too much effort.

TIP: Restarting Explorer, if you have the setting enabled, will reopen apps that were running but not Folders. Make sure you remember what Folder you had open if you wish to reopen it. :)

 

NOTE: This is only a simple quick solution not meant to be permanent till Microsoft , hopefully, adds in a built in option.

There are 2 versions. StartSwitch and StartSwitch Auto. StartSwitch Auto will launch the Start Screen\Start Menu after making changes.

Can I install it on Windows 8.1?

Can I install it on Windows 8.1?

Install - yes, will it work? no

 

I can only assume, that given the start menu above is not part of Win 8.1, the answer would be no.

 

The Reg key in question does will more than likely not exist in Win 8.x

Thank you, it looks nice but unlucky
