Here is a list of all the Metro 8.1 GUI elements that (to my knowledge) have no easily solvable solution: Note: Unless a third party alternative is equal or superior in quality like Classic Shell, I'll leave that item uncrossed. -"Spinning circle" boot screen [Partially solved with "bcdedit /set {current} graphicsmodedisabled on", but it might break some things]-Recovery Mode [Solvable with Third Party Alternative(s)]-CHKDSK verbose mode [Copy Win 7 autochk.exe, autochk.exe.mui]-BSOD -Login Screen [Partially solved in Win 10 with the console login prompt]-Account creation screen in Control Panel [Partially solved with the below item]
-User Accounts / Netplwiz [Copy Win 7 netplwiz.dll, netplwiz.dll.mui]-Network Flyout [Solvable with Third Party Alternative(s)]-"This app cannot run on your PC" Notification -Smartscreen Notification -Low Battery Notification -Printer Error Notification -Autorun Dialog -Open With Dialog [Solvable with Third Party Alternative(s)]
-Windows Error Reporting Manager
-Display Changer [Copy Win 7 DisplaySwitch.exe, DisplaySwitch.exe.mui]

Win7 netplwiz can be a good alternative to the modern account creation screen. It's possible to get the WinVista boot screen on non-UEFI installs and some UEFI installs. www.askvg.com/fun-tip-enable-windows-vista-boot-screen-in-windows-7/ |

For WiFi you can use: www.penetworkmanager.de/Login screen: On Windows 10 you can replace Windows.UI.Logon.dll with ConsoleLogon.dll (it's mui too) to get the console login screen. This is not really classic but not metro either, at least. CHKDSK: You can replace Windows 10's autochk.exe and it's mui with 7's version. Recovery Mode: Remember, this is a Windows PE environment. We can add our own program to it that can replace the Metro UI menu. Startup Screen: This enables the Vista startup screen
bcdedit /set {current} graphicsmodedisabled on
Keep in mind the command above disables the BSOD and possibly other kernel level screens

Yes, however Netplwiz in Win10+ (maybe Win8?) has a Metro-styled add user dialog. |

About WER, you can disable it and put XP x64's drwtsn32.exe in System32 and put the SysWoW64 version of it in SysWOW64. Now run the following commands in CMD: "%SystemRoot%\System32\drwtsn32.exe" -i"%SystemRoot%\SysWoW64\drwtsn32.exe" -iThen, do the commands without the -i parameter and tick Visual Notification on both of these windows
