Moving Windows To Visible Area

Feb 1, 2013

Windows 8. In windows 7 when I switched from dual display to single display all windows stayed exactly where they were so when I switched back to dual display everything was were it supposed to be (i.e. chat windows + music player on side display)

In windows 8 each time I do that (switch from double display) all windows from second display are moved to the main/only one and upon switching back they are not moved back which is...

Can I somehow make windows 8 to behave like win 7?!

Win 8.1 64bit - Applications Running But No Visible Windows?

Aug 16, 2014

This may be related to the recent Windows update.

Just recently, I noticed that, sometimes, I had to click an application twice to start it.

At first, I attributed it to typos, but when it happened quite a few times, I investigated.

I saw that Task Manager showed the application running, but there was no window on the desktop.

The application doesn't matter and it's not easily reproducible - happens once or twice a day at random.

Odd.

I'll be a bit more vigilant now that I noticed it and see if I can track it down better (32-bit or 64-bit apps, for example). The last one was a 32-bit application. And I started two applications in rapid succession.

(I'm on 64-bit 8.1).

BSOD At Random Times In Windows 8.1 - No Text Visible On Screen

Dec 17, 2013

Over the past couple days I've been experiencing a BSOD 1 or 2 times a day during what seem like, random times. The BSOD is a little funky because the screen is skewed pretty badly and no text is visible. Where do I start troubleshooting this error?

Windows 8 Partition - Drive Letter Visible In Explorer But No Size Or Contents

Sep 22, 2014

My windows 8 partition is inaccessible. Win 8 won't boot, even after attempted repair and running chkdsk.

This all happened after an automatic update.

I booted to another drive. Windows explorer shows the bad partition letter but no size or contents. Other partitions on the same drive are ok.

I also can see the bad drive contents from a cmd prompt.

Unresponsive Windows 8 Computer - Cursor Arrow Visible And Movable But Nothing Clickable

Jun 30, 2014

Earlier today my Asus x551m laptop stopped working; the cursor arrow is still visible and movable, but nothing is clickable, ctrl-alt-delete does nothing, and this laptop does not have an easily removable battery that would allow for a hard reset. Also, when I hold the laptop up to my ear, it is completely silent as if it's not even running. It's been like this for almost 3 hours, and I'm hoping that it will be ok once the battery dies and I power it on again.

Android Tablet No Longer Visible When Connected To USB?

Aug 15, 2014

Tonight when I plugged my LG G-Pad into my laptop it made the usual audible tone but is now no longer visible. Worked fine about 2 days ago, now nothing.. Interestingly enough it works fine on my desktop (Win 7) and my office computer (also Win 7), but all the sudden it doesn't appear on my laptop where I need it most. I considered doing a restore, but it appears I'll have to re-install 8.1 again, and I'm not too keen on that as it was a nightmare in itself

Apps / Software :: How To Make Gadgets (8 Gadget Pack) Visible After Showing Desktop

Jun 29, 2014

On Windows 8.1 I installed 8Gadgetpack to bring back the Windows 7 sidebar, and for the most part it works great except for one thing, when I click show desktop (or press win+D) it hides the gadgets as well. Is there a way to prevent this without having to press win+G all the time after showing desktop?

Windows 8.1 Pro X64 - Notification Area Icons Disappear

May 6, 2014

I am running Windows 8.1 Pro X64. Recently I have noticed that Notification Area Icons for some apps have disappeared.

A reinstall or a repair install sometimes brings them back but then they disappear after a while, and usually after the next reboot.

Have checked forums for the affected products and the only solution offered there is reinstall or repair install. I very much doubt that this issue is down to the products. It is almost certainly a Windows problem but of course Windows Tech Support offers nothing other than the usual banal references to largely irrelevant "how to" articles.

Network / Sharing :: Windows 8.1 - Files In Folders On Network Drive Not Visible

Nov 23, 2013

I upgraded to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 and I can no longer see the files inside the folders on my networked drive. Before I upgraded I could see them, after the upgrade - not so much. The folders are fine, I can see them, just no files visible. There's no network issues as the files are visible from my Win7 machines and my wife's Windows 8 machine. All the standard default sharing and viewing settings are correct. Even if I put the direct path in File Explorer is tells me there's nothing there. I'm absolutely baffled. I have never seen this particular type of sharing issue before. I'm a pretty savvy Network Admin so the basic troubleshooting (and standard sharing settings) has been covered.

- Uninstall McAfee in Programs and features

With that Windows Defender shows it is running, but there is no Icon in the notification area.Should there be an Icon in the Win 8 notification area, like Security Essentials in Win 7?

Debugging :: BSOD For Windows 8.1 - Page Fault In Nonpaged Area

Jun 7, 2014

I recently bought a lenovo 11s with the i5 hashwel and i have been getting a few errors.

Every time I shut down the laptop and close the laptop over, when i try to start it again the BSOD error message "Page fault in nonpaged area (rtwlan.sys)" appears.

I have checked my event viewer and the critical message is a kernal 41 error. - Am not sure if this data is needed but more data rather than less am i right? - the error in event viewer as follows:

- <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">
- <System>
<Provider Name="Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power" Guid="{331C3B3A-2005-44C2-AC5E-77220C37D6B4}" />

<EventID>41</EventID>
<Version>3</Version>
<Level>1</Level>
<Task>63</Task>

[Code] ......

I have updated all the drivers i can via lenovos website and using the automatic search on device manager, all of which they say are up to date.

I have checked a possible cause being the bridging between my wlan and wifi but this doesn't exist i don't think.

Network / Sharing :: Windows 8.1 - Multiple Local Area Connections Created At Boot

Jun 26, 2014

I have a new Dell laptop with Windows 8.1 - I work from home & connect to the internet via my home wifi network. The problem I have been experiencing is that my laptop connects to the internet at boot up but then disconnects for several minutes & then re-connects again. This coincides with the Network & Sharing Centre showing a number of Local Area Connections (numbered 3,4,5,6 etc) being created under Unidentified Public Networks. I have tried disabling the LAC's but they re-enable whenever I re-boot & I have the same issues again. My networking knowledge is very limited so how to rectify this issue.

Maintenance :: Notification Area - Show Icon / Hide?

Aug 9, 2014

I just installed mouse software on my 8.1 Pro laptop. The software starts every time I start my computer and shows an icon in the taskbar. There is one very annoying thing that it does, when I first login to my computer the notification icon for the mouse software pops up a window saying that it's running:

I opened Customize Notification Area to see if I could turn off notifications BUT keep the icon there (so I can right-click it and open the software).

I noticed there is no option to "Show Icon And Hide Notifications".

So the only way i can keep that annoying popup message from appearing every time I login is to hide everything. But then, as I said above, I won't be able to right click the icon and start the software.

Is there a way I can show icons but hide notifications?

I noticed when I was looking at the custom notification area window that there were entries for programs that I no longer have on my machine:

Is there a way to cleanup/remove these?

Remove Icon From Notification Area For Active Program?

Mar 11, 2014

I have installed a new program (Soundswitch) that I want to keep and I need it running in the background. What I don't need is the icon in the notification area. I only use the program's keyboard shortcut and have no need for the GUI. I keep my notification area very clean and only have icons for the three things I actually use in it. Most programs offer a way to disable their own notification icon, but this one does not. And, unfortunately, hiding the icon through the Windows 8 options created another icon (arrow), which I don't want either.

Is there a way that I can keep the program running but have the icon removed from the notification area?

Apps / Software :: How To Take Screenshot Of Small Area On Screen

Mar 28, 2014

This is an absolute CLASSIC example of a TOTALLY BOVINE use of Metro - replacing the old accessories==>calculator by the Metro Calculator.

The wretched thing works Totally in Full screen -- what use is that to Man or Beast - especially if you have a Form or some text (not spread sheets) on your screen and you need to refer to them for your calculations.. What you need is a POPUP calculator that they had from the first versions of Windows 3 until Windows 7.

The calculator could also be useful as a popup on TOUCH screens too if you need it - but the stupid full screen thing -- totally useless.

I as actually quite surprised when I searched calculator and it operated like that. - Normally I use a nice calculator app on my mobile phone - but the battery is empty so I need the computer !!!. how to you take a screenshot of a small area on the screen.

Mar 31, 2014

I have an issue on machine (friends , so not in front of it now)

where the mouse moves on its own

on google chrome , if you goto settings

>advanced settings

>clear bowser data

click on the drop down for 4weeks etc - it immediately returns to 4 weeks - so you cannot use the dropdown to select other options

I'm running

Avast scan

Moving Tiles In Windows 8 / 8.1 Up And Down?

Jan 26, 2014

Basically you can move windows 8 tiles right and left but if you have multiple rows you cannot directly swap tiles up and down.

For example imagine I have two rows of tiles each with two tiles so a1, a2 and b1 and b2. I can swap a1 with a2 and b1 with b2 without any issues. However moving b1 with a1 forces a1 to move to the right meaning a2 is now where b1 would be.

I'd love to be able to just swap them so swapping a1 and b1 would swap the two around and leave the others alone. Is there a way around this?

So far I have Clicked the arrow to view Hidden icons (it is not visible)Click on Customize to Show icons and notifications (AVAST is not even on the list)Opened Action Center to see that AVAST is turned on and up to date

It was there and then it's gone. I have uninstalled it and then installed a new copy from a fresh download. Maybe this is something new but I feel a lot more secure with the icons showing.
