    when i click the windows logo (lower left corner) it only changes color but
    nothing else happens......

    I normally boot to the desktop format but some setting has changed (i bet the
    problem is sitting in front of the PC :eek:

    Left clicking still displays the normal menus, shutdown search, run, etc.

    Any idea what setting i changed to stop the metro screen from showing?

    thanks,

    Hi Clif, were you using a proprietary Start Menu software on your previous OS?
    I was using Start8 with my W8.1 and it has been continued/carried over with W10 on this comp.
    My laptop is upgraded to W10 and has the W10 left click Start Menu with Icons on the left and Tiles on the right. Other than that it might be a hiccup. Neil.

    Just confirmed it. I stopped Start8 from working in Task Manager and unchecked it in msconfig > Services and Restarted comp and it's now showing the W10 Start screen.
