Classic view is more of a function of win 7.

In win 8, I am not sure it’s available...it only gives you a list as opposed to categories and makes navigating the control panel easier for those who date back to the old OS’s..

Win 8.1 (I believe) has the old style desktop option and may have settings for classic view, but I do not have that OS....I use win 7, will be updating to 10 sometime within a month or so, and I also have win RT version of 8 on my Surface.

Classic view or the new categorized view are the same,,,but some find the classic view easier to find the settings they want. it’s not really important on the new OS.

•open control panel
•double click administrative tools

•double click services
•look for the microsoft software shadow copy provider and double click it
•in the start up type menu (select automatic)
•in the start button click it
•click apply and then ok
•look for volume shadow copy service and perform the same procedure
•exit and reboot the computer

Try it without the classic view (which is nothing more than the old windows look
