Just FYI. I did a clean install of Windows 10, installed Start 10, and everything appears to be fine. A clean install was really my preference, so not such a bad thing.

That seems to have worked insofar as I was able to disable the programs and delete them from the Programs(x86) folder. However, after installing Start10, I now don't seem to be able to use the Windows key on my keyboard... it does nothing (whereas under Start8 I could toggle between Win7-like/desktop view and the modern ui). I appear to be stuck in desktop mode (even after several reboots). I'm going to do a clean install of Windows 10, as things just seem to be deteriorating at this

Nope. That didn't work. I downloaded the batch file and ran it as administrator. Got a dialog re: invalid uninstall xml file. Then got a command/dos window, stating that multiple files it was looking for couldn't be found. It asked me if I wanted to proceed (type Y to continue). Did that, and got 4 or five "access denied" messages for various files. When I go to Programs and Features, Start 8 is still there. Also, this solution, if it ever works, does not address my ot

kin3tix: I also need a solution to uninstall ModernMix (as I'm encountering the same issue: it lingers on my upgraded system, but can't be uninstalled because of the invalid uninstall xml left as a result of the Windows 10 upgrade).

kin3tix: It would be great if you could post the solution... I'm having the same issue, I think (can't install Start10 because Start8 is still installed, and can't uninstall Start8 because the uninstall xml is invalid after the Windows 10 upgrade).
