Stardock Popup Screen on Desktop on Initial Power On

August 22, 2013 5:33 PM from

Annoying Stardock popups when first powering on computer: "Welcome to Modern Mix" on top of Start8 Settings Screen popup.

Otherwise very please with Start8 Desktop screen. It even included the Camera App from Metro.

How to get rid of the annoying popups before I turn the new laptop over to my wife?

Found answer to this problem by Googling. Apparently others were also annoyed by this

behavior. Apparently when installing Start8, I must have indicated I was interested in Modern Mix and Decor8, as they were also installed as free trial versions'. The solution is to go into Program Files and Uninstall these 2 programs. The popups allowed starting these other trial programs.

Now my Desktop looks like Windows 7 as desired.
