Bypass Metro Start Screen with RetroUI

RetroUI is a lightweight application for Windows 8 that enables you to bypass Windows 8 Metro Start Screen and automatically load into the classic desktop on every login. This application is very similar to Skip Metro Suite.

It is extremely easy to configure this application, without requiring that the user have administrative rights. RetroUI has a straightforward interface with all the available options in the same screen. Keep in mind that it does not mess up with the core security of Windows 8.

There are three available options (Yes, only three!). The first and second options are enabled by default. It enables you to bypass Windows 8 Metro Start Screen after login and also from lock screen, and loads the classic Windows Desktop.

The third option if enabled, will close and disable Windows 8 UI after login. Besides that, some Metro features in Windows 8 are also disabled, this include Charm Bar, Hot Corners and Start Screen for user session.

Note that RetroUI is not available for free. You can download and use the application as a free trial for 7 days. Then, you have the option to purchase RetroUI for price starting from $4.95.
