Windows 8 - Disable the Metro GUI / Tablet view
In this article I want to show you how to disable the metro view, which is mainly used for tablet computers and wants to give you the Android 3.0/Ipad experience. As I do not own a (touch)tablet, and my employer does not want to buy one for me, or for this Windows 8 articles, I was in an urgent need to start this Windows 8 Dev version in the usual desktop mode only. I run it in a virtual environment and the Metro Gui doesn't work very well on VMware Workstation. ;-) Maybe when I attach a touchscreen as extra monitor? Ha, ha.. I'll wait for the Windows 8 Ultimate version for that!
Officially there is no way available to disable the Metro GUI, but,... there's probally still a year to go to the final release, so I keep hoping for that. But, where should we be without developers. There is a tool called 'Windows 8 Start Menu Toggle' which disables just one registery key. Look it up if you like. But? we are administrators,.. we are not going to install any tool, or any program at all, we are just going to change a registry key. We just do it! Certainly if I tell you that this registry key does not only brings your classic Startmenu back, but it also disables, most of the Metro/Tablet functionalities.... So, I lose that extra CPU and memory issue at the same time. Why (pre)reserve CPU and memory for something I do not use? Remember, if you have doubts about my articles.....
Just backup the registry before making this change.
If you are in the default Metro/Tablet Startup screen, click on the Windows desktop App to go to the classic interface. If you don't want to use the Run command from the Task Manager, just create a shortcut on the desktop and point it to cmd. Right-click on it and run it as an Administrator. From the command-line type 'Regedit.exe'. Now locate the following registry setting:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer
RPEnabled is the string to look for. ( see the picture below )
Now, the value to disable the Metro/Tablet GUI is '0'. ( ZERO ) and to activate it, the value is '1' ( ONE )
This is actually not a registry key that (dis-)enables the App-mode, but it is the key to activate the use of the Start Menu, like you know it.
Side effect is, that by enabling the Start Menu, the Metro/tablet Gui is mainly gone and even just loaded in a very small way.
I'll spare you the details, thats far beyond the scope of this article.
Install Tablet Pc Components Windows 7 64-bit
You can see the start menu right away, and get to work the way you used to do with your Windows 7 pc.
Boot it if you like, but the classic view is here to stay until you change this registry key again.
Sorry for the picture, I forgot to put a photograph in my user profile. maybe later..
Now for the final removal of the tablet functions,.....
Use your normal Startbutton, go to your Control Panel, find the installed programs, and select the Windows Features.
Uncheck the 'Tablet PC Components'.
This will remove all of your tablet components forever, but you can activate the components again whenever you like.
Please keep in mind that this will need a reboot, and after logon again, a lot of drivers will be automatically re-installed by Windows 8.
This concerns all drivers for mouse, keyboard, printers, external connected storage etc. etc.
Note at march 12th, 2012. This article is based on the Dev.Preview version.
The way to disable the Metro view in the lately released Customer Preview will be added to this article within a few weeks.
I hope this article has helped you, and getting you enthusiastic for Windows 8 as much as I already am!
