Classic Shell: Forum

Immediately prior to the Win 10 installation (with the "clock" ticking down from 60 minutes) I decided - perhaps foolishly - that it would be a good idea to uninstall Classic Shell v4.1. The "clock" had gone down to 8 minutes by this time but after rebooting (as recommended by the Uninstall program) the Update notice had disappeared!

When I go to the Win 10 Upgrade applet (bottom right of my toolbar) and click on "Upgrade available - OK let's continue" button it just shows "working on it" for 5 minutes or so before disappearing.

I located the Win10 files in the "$Windows.~BT" directory and ran setup.exe but get a message informing that boot.wim cannot be found (Error code: 0x80070002).

Any help would be welcome!

This is an issue with Windows 10 Setup. Having Classic Shell installed or uninstalled is not related to Windows installation issues. Contact Microsoft support in their forum.

I am a Windows enthusiast and helped a little with Classic Shell's testing and usability/UX feedback.

Agreed, this is a Win10 problem. I just assumed that having uninstalled Classic Shell that some essential file(s) had been deleted from the system.

I found a copy of boot.wim on another site and downloaded and added the file to the Win10 directory, but this fix just did not work for me. After making a few more tweaks the Win10 upgrade suddenly started to download from the start again - so after an hour or so I was able to start the upgrade process again.

I still don't know how the upgrade suddenly started up again, but it seemed to confirm that my original problem had nothing to do with Classic Shell.
