Remove Desktop Category From Apps Screen

Jul 30, 2014

When an item is pinned to Start, it is pinned to two locations: 1) Start screen, and 2) Desktop category in the Apps screen. This is redundant, as no one is going to go through two screens to access something that was available in the first.

Is there any way to remove the "Desktop" category from the Apps screen?

Windows 8.1 All Apps View - How Do Apps Get Into Desktop Category

Sep 6, 2013

In windows 8.1 start screen, if I go to the all apps view & sort by category, the first category is 'desktop'. What determines which apps are listed here? Only some of my desktop apps are listed. Can I edit the list? Likewise, if I sort by name, the first group of apps includes only a subset of all my apps - can I edit that list?

Screen Fades In Steps Between Apps / Desktop / Start Screen

Dec 14, 2013

I've tried just about everything, but can't seem to find a setting to stop this action. The screen on my laptop (Sony Flip 15A, intel4400/geforce735) seems to increase and decrease in brightness between screens. It's rather annoying not just because of the change, but also because it takes several seconds to occur and it occurs in discrete steps. I'm running the latest drivers from both intel and nvidia. I've tried turning off adaptive brightness and disabling the sensor service, and all effects (fade in, UAC, etc) have been turned off. A video of the condition is shown below:

(Vimeo was taking forever to process)

It even happen when no programs are opening/closing - for example, if I view a dark background web page and then a lighter background, the brightness shifts. I can't imagine how awful this will be in photoshop.

Turned On Laptop - Cannot See Apps Screen Or Desktop

May 19, 2013

Today when I turned on my laptop the screen was black, not showing a thing. With no options to solve this I rebooted the laptop by pressing the power button for a few seconds.

When I restarted the laptop it started and shown the username/password screen. I input my password and then a pop up window appeared with an error related to explorer.exe

I cannot see the apps screen or the desktop. The desktop is just a black screen with a grey bar. I can access windows explorer by clicking "windows key + E" but I cannot do anything else.

Now every time I start my laptop, the error does not come up, I input my password and I don't see apps screen or desktop.

Apps / Software :: How To Recreate Desktop App Tiles To Start Screen

Nov 10, 2013

Under 8.0 Pro, as I added traditional desktop applications (i.e., Office 2013), the install would create both shortcuts in the traditional program menu as well as Tiles on the Metro start screen. After upgrading (in-place) to 8.1 Pro, all of the traditional applications and their shortcuts in the traditional program menu were still there, but the Tiles on the Metro start screen were gone.

How can I recreate Metro Tiles for my traditional desktop applications?

Accounts :: Hidden User Category In Windows 8.1?

Mar 5, 2014

I just found out through my AV that there is a hidden folder category I can't seem to find normally.

And I wonder why and how I can tell windows to let me see it, the folder path is as follows:

C:UsersAll Users

Only way for me to see it is to actually type in the above in the adressfield in file explorer.

As in why and the reason it is so super hidden.

Windows 8 - Can't Remove System Icon Off Desktop

May 3, 2014

I sent my computer to the repair shop and they apparently reinstalled everything. For some reason they put the "Homegroup" system icon on my desktop and I don't want it there, I don't even use that. When I right click it, there is no delete option at all. How to delete this? Its annoying. I really get tired of Windows 8 trying to force me to use things that I don't wish to use.

I noticed when I click on the icon it has the option of "Leave the homegroup". I don't know if that would get rid of the icon or not but I am afraid to click leave the homegroup because they said my windows was corrupted and they fixed it. I am afraid to do anything drastic on my computer for fear it might corrupt it again. It seems like any little thing you do messes up this Windows 8.

Network / Sharing :: Windows 8 Desktop - Remove Homegroup Icon

Apr 3, 2012

I finally found a "problem" with the Windows 8 desktop. Its a problem in Windows 7 too but I had never started a Homegroup. The darn icon won't move and you can't delete it. There is a Windows 7 fix for the problem at HomeGroup Desktop Icon - Add or Remove - Windows 7 Forums and it works with Windows 8.

If you want access to the Homegroup shortcut be sure to pin it to the start menu (I guess we call that the Start screen now) before you delete it.

How To Remove Pictures From Row At Lock Screen Preview

Mar 18, 2014

I made the mistake of including family photos in the lock screen choices.

I am trying to remove family pictures from the row at the lock screen preview. I don't want to change a lot of other things along the way if possible. I was hoping I could just right click the 3 family pictures and remove them but they won't go. The piano is the one I see and that is alright but the 3 to the right are the ones I want to clear. Is there a way to do this?

Apps / Software :: Win 8.1 - Metro Apps Crash To Desktop Or Don't Operate Correctly

Jun 16, 2014

I initially created the thread below but I have since discovered the problem relates to many apps and not just the People app.

People App Opens then Crashes to Desktop

I have a new Dell laptop running Windows 8.1 Core Edition. After only a week I found most of the apps would crash to the Desktop on opening. I thought I had solved the problem by creating a new user account and reinstalling the apps but that only worked for a week before the same problem reappeared.

This is what I have discovered to date:

Initially most apps crashed on openingReinstalling the apps made many of them work but there are still some issues e.g. selecting Maps within Bing weather causes the app to crashThe apps work fine in a new user account or in other local accounts I have not used much to dateNone of the steps recommended in Apps and Tiles Not Working or Responding: Fix in Windows 8 solves the problemI've spent an hour with Microsoft Support who have found no obvious problem and have escalated the problem to the next tier

The problem appears to be due to access rights and priveliges in user accounts since the apps work in other accounts or if I create a new account.

Where the apps are located for each user account and whether there is way of checking that they are set up to have the correct access rights and privileges.
