The old advice to set the REG_DWORD
value named RPEnabled
(some sources claim it's RPEnable
) under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
to 0
doesn't work anymore since the Consumer Preview (i.e. now also for the Release Preview). Yes, I tried both RPEnabled
and RPEnable
.
How can I log into the system and be presented the desktop instead of the metro start screen? I got rid of the lock screen already, so this is the missing piece in the puzzle of making Windows 8 Release Preview usable.
