How to restore the Last Known Good Configuration feature in Windows 8.1

As you know, Winaero is always focused on improving the usability of technology and especially Windows. If you love something special in Windows or in some other app or service that is no longer accessible or removed, I am always looking for solutions to your problems and sharing fixes and workarounds. Recently, I featured a unique site which revived desktop gadgets and sidebar complete with screenshots of all of them, shared an exclusive tutorial on how to restore the missing Briefcase feature and showed how to unlock the Start Screen pinning ability for all files. In this article, I would like to share with you a new way I discovered to unlock the Last Known Good Configuration feature in Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 which Microsoft silently disabled. Let me explain why you might need it. 

How to apply the Start screen background color as the window color in Windows 8.1

With Windows 8.1, you are able to use the Desktop background image as the Start screen background. This personalization option is available right after the installation once Windows gets activated. However, not every user prefers to use the wallpaper as the Start screen background. Instead, what if you could read the Start screen's color and set it as the color of your window frames of desktop apps and taskbar? If you sync the Metro and Aero colors, it gives you a more harmonious look and feel. I have coded a tool to do just that. To automatically set the color of the Start screen background as the window color, follow these simple steps.
