How To Disable Metro Notifications

May 26, 2013

underlying all this metro stuff, is there still a stock/vanilla interface available somehow? when working on a desktop/laptop. take the bitlocker dialogues for example.

i mean, i guess one can deal with it (like a boss!), it is definitely no dealbreaker.

"old/clean" versus "metrofied"

Desktop Notifications While In Metro?

Jan 23, 2013

Is there a way to allow desktop pop-ups to display in Metro that are desktop related. For example if I'm in Metro and my firewall (ESET) has a pop-up asking me to approve/deny a connection it displays to the desktop and so I can sometimes not realise it's there.

How To Disable Metro Apps From Running At Startup

Mar 14, 2014

I use windows 8.1 and have enabled boot-to-desktop.

Every time after booting into windows, when I check task manager, there are some metro apps already running in the background, like reading list, onenote and reader.

Is there a way to stop metro apps from automatically running at startup?

EDIT: Ok, the issue resolved itself. I don't know how, but they are not running in the background anymore, except for store which is obvious.

I suppose they were doing some sort of scanning or indexing maybe.

See Lockscreen Notifications At Startup?

Nov 3, 2012

If you want to see email notifications on the lockscreen before you log in it's pretty easy.

Carry out the instructions to auto log in on startup

Log On User Account Automatically at Windows 8 Startup

then have a batch file in the start-up folder to lock the pc

Rundll32.exe User32.dll,LockWorkStation

when the pc starts up it auto logs on with your live account, I get about 10 seconds of start screen before the batch file runs then it locks and I have email and whatever other notifications are active sat on the lock screen. You also have the benefit of any background apps starting up before you log in, speedfan, lcdsmartie things like that.

Show Notifications From Apps Error - No Application Listed

Jul 13, 2013

I have very annoying problem with Windows 8. The problem is in metro control panel "PC Settings". I don't know what is the reason for removing all apps control in the Notifications menu.

I had this problem so many times and the only fix for this that I know - is to create a new microsoft account or to do clean install (which I don't like to try).

Apps / Software :: Missing Notifications And Sync From Mail App

Jul 7, 2014

I'm having an issue concerning the default Mail app from Win 8.1. I have set up two mail accounts: my default Microsoft account and an extra Office 365 account. Notifications are turned on for all mail and mails are downloaded as they arrive. But I'm not getting notifications for the default account. Might I add that synchronization is not automatic and I need to open the app to get the new mail. The second account works okay, though.

IE Metro tile is missing from my metro start screen. It's not in the 'all apps' list either. when I go to program default, it is set as the default browser. I went through all the checks in the tutorial on here, but at best, I can only get the desktop IE tile to pin to start. I would rather have the metro version tile on my start.

Windows 8.1 - Screen Notifications Only Show On Start Screen?

Mar 11, 2014

In Windows 8.1 do the on screen notifications only show on the Start screen?

I'm talking about the big ones I see with the black bar, such as low battery warning.

Twice I've been on the desktop and I never got a low battery warning. To test I made sure I was on the Start screen and sure enough the warning popped up. Also, when I switched over to the desktop the battery icon showed the exclamation point where I don't think it ever did when always on the desktop.
