Here is how to get back the Modern Start Screen in Windows 10 Technical Preview

Today, Microsoft unveiled their Windows Technical Preview for the new Windows x operating organisation. There are evidently plenty of questions from users nigh upgrading to the Preview, and i of those has to deal with the Modern Start Screen.

If like me, you installed the Technical Preview but you lot would like to get dorsum the Modern Starting time Screen, here is a quick and like shooting fish in a barrel style to make that happen.

The current preview is mostly geared towards It professionals and those on a desktop PC. Knowing this recommendation, I still installed it on my Surface Pro 3. Every bit expected, the Windows Technical Preview sets the Outset menu preference past default depending on the presence of a mouse or keyboard detected. As such, my Surface Pro 3 was in Desktop mode with the new Start Menu and Modernistic combo. However, I could not become back to the familiar Modern First Screen, which is platonic for tablet mode.

Microsoft made information technology relatively like shooting fish in a barrel to switch between the two and to set the default. Hither is how.

Toggle default Start Bill of fare or Commencement Screen

Search
Type in 'Navigation Properties'
Become to tab 'Start Menu'
Toggle 'Employ the Start Menu instead of the Start Screen'

The organization then tells you lot to log out and back in again to make the change. At present, my Surface Pro iii behaves just as it did earlier. Note, however that as far as I know, you cannot have both the Start Menu and Showtime Screen working in tandem. In other words, when on the Desktop and using the Start key, information technology uses whichever is the default.

What about Continuum?

If you watched the presentation yesterday, you might recall Microsoft's new Continuum organisation. Continuum lets the OS switch dynamically between the Showtime Menu and Start Screen automatically when a keyboard is added or removed. This coveted feature "solves" the problem described above, but Continuum is not quite here with us still, which is why of course it does non work.

Regardless, if yous want to install Windows ten Technical Preview on your x86 or x64 tablet, go right ahead.
