As the title says I just reinstalled windows because my old drive was having problems and I couldn't boot into it. So how can I get out of basic mode? I've done the simple thing where you change the appearance to best appearance but it's still in basic? anyone have some ideas?

When I stop it it says System Error 5 has occurred. Access is denied.

What about when you just use the start command?

Did you run the terminal as an administrator?
