I do like the modern UI of W8.1-same user interface on desktop, tablet and
smartphone.
On laptops typically a 64-bit W8.1 is installed. Shrew VPN client is available
as 32- and 64-bit version. Even 64-bit VPN is working with W8.1 modern UI it
must not be necessarily the case with 32-bit. What version have you installed?

Betreff: Re: [vpn-help] W 8.1: VPN does not work with W8 Apps
I use the Shrew Soft VPN client on my laptop at home to connect to the network
at the organization I currently work for and run Windows 8 apps through it
without the least little bit of problem.
I will admit though that I hate the Windows 8 "Metro" user interface and the
Windows 8.1 update of Metro isn't any better as far as I'm concerned. So what I
did was to (for all practical purposes) replace the UI with another one. If you
are having issues with the Metro interface, try www.classicshell.net. You can
turn your user interface into an interface that is the same as that which came
on Windows XP.

Hi Alexis,
I had a look to the links posted. These threads are more than one year old and
related to W 8.0. The descritpion of mal function is similar to my problems.
The link to KB article of Microsoft is just available in awful German for me.
Do you know whether these issues are solved with W 8.1?
