Classic Calculator (Old Calculator)

Microsoft has removed the classic calculator app from Windows 10 and replaced it with a new Universal (UWP) app. Many people are not happy with this change. The classic app loaded faster, and was more useful for mouse and keyboard users. Here you can get the classic calculator back in Windows 10.

This package supports both Windows 10 32-bit and Windows 10 64-bit.

Classic Sticky Notes

Starting in Windows 10 Anniversary Update, Microsoft replaced the classic desktop Sticky Notes app with a Universal app. For many users, the classic Desktop app is the more preferable option. It works faster, starts faster and has no Cortana integration.

Many prefer the good old classic Sticky Notes app because it consumes notably less system resources. It starts immediately and works much faster. The performance difference is especially visible on less powerful hardware like Atom and Celeron CPUs. The notes themselves are also a bit smaller, so users like their compact appearance more.

Here you can get the Classic Sticky Notes app in Windows 10. This package supports both Windows 10 32-bit and Windows 10 64-bit.

Classic Task Manager

The new «modern» task manager was introduced in Windows 8.

The old Task Manager is faster, bug-free and provides a more reliable workflow of task management for many users. Here is how you can get it back without replacing any system files or modifying permissions.

All 10 Old Microsoft Windows Games from the ’90s, Ranked

It’s safe to say most of us grew up using a computer that ran some version of Microsoft’s classic home PC software, and because you probably weren’t a child accountant, you likely spent your time playing the games that came with Windows. Microsoft was very cool about including different types of games for all types of players. There were puzzle games, pinball, and even classic card games for those of us who enjoyed an old school sensibility with the added class of not having to touch a filthy stack of cards. But which were the best Microsoft Windows games? You’re going to help answer that question in this ranking of all the old Microsoft games.

Maybe this is rose-tinted hindsight speaking, but there was something pure about ’90s Microsoft games. They all had a simple conceit, but never lost their luster. If you don’t think that’s true, think back to the countless games of solitaire you played and try to convince anyone you didn’t love it. Could you have been outside chasing butterflies? Probably, but then you never would have seen the fireworks that go off when you beat a game of FreeCell in less than ten minutes. Now that was living.
