I wonder if one of the "Windows Classic" GUI emulators will work in Win 10.
A year ago when I updated to Win 8/8.1 on both of my machines, I installed the free Classic Shell as well (with Win7 "look"), so have never had to contend with the Metro GUI. It's the best of both worlds -- the stability and speed of Win8 with the familiar navigation of Win7.
Unless they've locked down the Win10 GUI, this might be a fix/alternative.
