Extracting Features From WinSXS
Sep 9, 2012Extracting features from 'WindowsWinSXS' or 'DVDSourceSXS' I have some plans for doing this but they are not successful till now.
So my question is: Is there any possibility for creation of some tool or guide, with which can I be able for example to extract one full feature from Windows 7 or Windows 8 and add to another build or another SKU and similar relations.
My idea comes directly from that what I want to install Internet Explorer 10 RTM on Release Preview. I think that if I successfully rip of all files connected with IE10 from Win8 RTM and put them in one folder. After with some modding in manifest files and using of 'dism /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:specifid IE10rtm folder' switch to integrate in Release Preview.

View 2 Replies View RelatedLaptop Won't Hibernate Anymore?
May 15, 2014I noticed a (very long) thread that is exploring issues with Windows 8.1 not sleeping properly, and while I've also had issues putting my computer to sleep, I'm more concerned right now with its inability to hibernate. I've been having my laptop hibernate most nights since I got it last year, and it's been working fine (with the occasional shut down instead of hibernation) up until a few days ago. It will not hibernate anymore. I have every power option set to 'hibernate': it's supposed to go into hibernation automatically when I close the lid, push the power button, anything. I've also set up a shortcut on my desktop that used to put it into hibernation, but now, when I go to wake it up afterwards, I've found its has shut down and closed all my apps and documents. At first I thought I was waiting too long between sessions and it automatically shut down after 12 hours for example, as I've recently come home from college and I'm going longer between wake-ups, but last night I put it into 'hibernate' and an hour later tried waking it up only to find it had had shut down again.
I've got Windows 8.1 but hibernate was working for weeks on it until recently. I've DEFINITELY got hibernate enabled in my power options, I've checked about a million times. I don't think I installed or changed anything around the time I started having these issues.

Mar 4, 2014I have a Gateway laptop running Windows 8. I have an auto diagnostics program called Auto Enginuity that I have "add ons" purchased for, when I type to put in the feature unlock key, after a couple days it will no longer be activated. Then when I installed the 8.1 update it will no longer accept the activation key, I can type the key in and it does not hold it. On the same note, I'm running Microsoft Streets and Trips gps software and when I go to update it,it updates like normal but after the update it still says update needed, like it doesn't "hold" any updates or key codes that I install.

View 9 Replies View RelatedInterrupted During Wake Up - Can't Boot Anymore
Oct 5, 2013I had a very very disturbing experience in which I was forced to shut down the computer, but failed and accidentally sent it to sleep.
Unfortunately, it never managed to wake up. It stayed during half an hour blocked early in the restarting process... I took my chance with a hard-reset.
And then it becomes insane. It gives me the cold shoulder, just hanging in a "Reverting changes" task. It's been a good while too.
I stand in awe wondering how is it even possible to break my setup like this. Considering the damn thing came with no restoring CD of any kind, on a scale of it's all fine to you're screwed, how exactly would you rate me ?
All Apps Screen Not Showing Anymore
Nov 2, 2012I have windows 8 installed for just over a week now. Everything seems to work just fine untill today i found something that rather annoys me.
When in the start/metro menu you right click on the bottom right corner you will have the 'all apps' option. When i clicked on it a few days ago you go to see a list of all your installed apps, like it supposed to. But now when i click on it i just get a blank (in my case) green screen with nothing on it. Pressing the windows key will get me back at start.
Also when searching for apps (windows key+q) it seems like the searching freezes and crashes sending me back to the original start screen. I have the same problem on my laptop where i installed the same windows 8
I'm using the 32 bit version of Windows 8 pro.
Region And Language Not Working Anymore
Jul 9, 2014I have bought a new computer with 8.1 . When i did the first setup and i had to choose the language i wanted italian but it wasn't there so i choose english and i downloaded the LP later. I installed all the updates inculded Update 1 and everything worked fine. After one week of normal use when i restarted the PC it sayed the was making operations on windows and it lasted like 20 min . I have the OS installed in SSD so it is fast.
After the restart i opened events and saw and error for LP cleaner and CBS initialization.Later i did a restore and checked region and language in control panel and it was working. I opened LPKsetup and uninstalled le LP manually , after the restart Region and language didn't work. I checked for the file intl.cpl in c/windows and there was like 30 files there, in my other pc that has only one language installed there are only 5. How to repair region and language so it can open?
Make Recovery Discs But Win 8.1 Won't Allow Anymore?
Aug 7, 2014I tried to make recovery discs but Win 8.1 won't allow that anymore. This is from a MS full install disk, not OEM partition or similar. I tried the flash drive method and it did do that. However, the customer had only a USB flash drive adapter that allows MSD to fit. It accepted that and created the recovery flash drive using that setup. However, upon rebooting it just doesn't go into recovery mode. It just sits there prior to boot menu setup after pressing [ESC] for the laptop. What is going on? I know the flash drive is holding the boot process after I press [ESC] to enter boot menu for the laptop, what gives. I really don't think a true flash drive will work as well, though i couldn't test that at the time.

Can't Boot Computer Anymore After Upgrade
Feb 2, 2013I just upgraded my desktop to Windows 8 from Windows 7 using digital download. Everything was running smoothly as I was installing apps and drivers. My graphics driver required a reset after installing, and now when I try to boot up my computer, after the bios and initial windows logo happen, the screen goes dark and the computer stalls. After a while it'll give me 4 beeps. I tried the automatic repair, which seems to be the only thing I can do since I can't boot to the start menu, but the result is the same. I used digital so I have no media to boot from, is there anything I can do to fix this?

Dec 19, 2013Today, for the first time, when I started my computer, the icons on the desktop (I use the old-style desktop) had shifted such that there was nothing in the top left corner. And I cannot drag anything up there anymore - there's this blank spot where I always used to keep my "My Documents" user profile folder. I turned off the option to be able to point up there and switch apps, and it didn't work.
