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?
Maintenance :: Live Tiles Not Working Anymore?
Feb 2, 2013I have the problem since a few weeks (mostly after a tile update), and I'm not the only one, my friend has it too on both his laptop and desktop, that the live tiles, or actually some of them, for example weather, are not refreshing anymore. It just shows the blue weather tile. When I open it, it works though, news the same. Also I tried to deinstall and reinstall the weather app, but now it doesnt even show the "use live tile" button anymore (look at picture).

Computer Won't Start Anymore - HDMI Stopped Working
Oct 24, 2013Yesterday I came home and my computer wouldn't start anymore. nothing happenened so I figured it was my "feeding" (in case this is a weird translation: what I mean is the power distribution)
So I bought a new one, hooked up all the plugs, well not all.
Computer works again, but my hdmi cable stopped working on my tv. I tried hooking up my monitor (which normally runs on dvi) but that also didn't work.
Is it possible i forgot a plug?
Apps / Software :: Updated To Windows 8.1 - Store Not Starting Anymore
Oct 20, 2013I just updated to Windows 8.1 Pro, and now the Windows Store isn't launching anymore, the tile expands over the whole screen and then I'm back at the start window. Some other apps did the same thing, such as mail and calendar. I uninstalled those, meaning to reinstall them, but, since the store won't launch I can't do that.
And I don't seem to be able to reinstall the windows store.
That said, I used to have all user files on a separate HDD, moved them by means of the audit mode described here on the forums. I used the same method again to undo the changes, then moved the moveable files as is supported by windows. Everything was working, then I updated.
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.

Apps / Software :: Windows 8.1 Live Tile Apps Not Working?
Feb 25, 2014 I updated windows 8.1 pro with wmc from store.I had NO problems, received no error messages, had no dc's, the power didn't shut off, the download didn't stop .. literally nothing went wrong. After update everything worked fine. All the apps are downloaded and were working fine.
But,After 2/3 months since updated, I suddenly noticed that every live tile / folder / app / game / setting etc. which were working fine, now not working.When I clicked on any tile, nothing happened. It just went to a blank green screen because my background color is green. It appears on the left upper corner as opened but doesn't run. When I click, I am send back to Start Screen or Desktop. Even Store and Windows Setting stopped working. So, naturally i started checking the web for answers, but couldn't find a solution to the exact problem i was having. I saw countless posts of people saying "Just uninstall / re-install the apps" but at first, I couldn't get my App store app to run. Again, it was just blank after several minutes of waiting. I was able to download it after using the search bar menu on the right side of my computer, and was able to start installing some apps.
So i thought that everything was going to be ok, but then I ran into another problem where some of the apps wouldn't install, and I received an error message with the code/number of 0x80070002.
So, at this point, only a few of my apps are working due to the simple fact that I was able to re-install them, but the others I can't re-install because of this error message.
FIRST SOLUTION:I found a thread online that someone had created with a simple fix to about 2-3 errors on the tiles. This is a simple powershell script to re-register some apps so that they can run again. This worked to fix my app store app and setting, but only that apps. The app update is still not working.
I have another windows live ID, and when I log in with that Id, all my apps works normally! I am out of sorts now.
Apps / Software :: Reinstall Windows 8 PRO 64 Bit - Apps Stopped Working
Apr 15, 20131. Windows 8 PRO 64 bit recently.
2. My Apps stopped working and all recovery efforts failed to get them working again.
3. Ran several malware and anti-virus programs and still no way to get my Apps working again.
4. I click on an App and the display just returns to the start display.
5. So, I had to reinstall Windows 8 from scratch since none of the "RESTORE" listing would restore.
6. I had not made a "recovery drive" so that was not an option.
Apps / Software :: Windows 8 Apps Not Working On 1 Account
Mar 21, 2014I somehow can't acces the standard Windows 8 apps anymore.
Apps like Camera, Maps, News, World clock. I can acces the App Store however...
Few days ago I made a account to test something and I noticed the apps were just running as they should be.
So I think I somehow changed a setting on my normal account that I can't use these apps anymore.
Apps / Software :: Windows Apps Not Working?
Aug 21, 2014For no reason, all my apps on win 8.1 won't open. They open for a few seconds, then dissapear, leaving me back at my desktop. I have done all updates and whatnot, but to no avail.
View 1 Replies View RelatedApps / Software :: Start Screen Apps Not Working Including Store
Dec 18, 2013About three days ago, all new style apps stopped working. I click on the tile, get a deep blue screen, and nothing else. On the left side of the screen, I can see the app as if it is working (just the name of the app, not content), so I can close the window and get back to desktop. The same applies to the STORE app. The only tiles that work, are the links to desktop applications, which open correctly on the desktop. The fault also affects all windows system apps. For example if I search on the start screen for "windows update", I can access "Windows update" as it just opens a window on the desktop, but if I click on "Windows update settings" nothing happens. The same is true with all windows system apps that open in the new start screen system.
I've uninstalled two Microsoft updates that were installed over the past three days, no change. I uninstalled AVAST, no change, so I reinstalled it! I tried restoring the system, but found that I had only one restore, and that was corrupted. Very strange. Without access to many windows system apps, the computer is really limited. The desktop seems to be working OK. I can't refresh the PC, as firstly it is a system app that runs from the start screen, and secondly because I upgraded from win 8 to 8.1 online, this can't be done anyway, as I don't have a disc. I'm really trying to avoid reinstalling windows 8!
(Pavilion dv6, i7 processor, 6GB ram, originally win7, then I upgraded to win 8 and now 8.1. I've been running 8.1 for some months without problems, just occasionally on start-up from sleep, I get "error in non-cached memory" BSOD, and the system restarts.)
Apps / Software :: Metro (Modern) Apps Not Working Right After Some WinUpdates
Oct 24, 2013I set up my 8.1 installation, played with all the apps, got used to how M$ wants the future to be...and this morning when I turned my PC on, it said it was installing some updates. No biggie.
Now today I am having a bad time with some of the Apps. Skype for example(though this seems to be a known issue?) loads for about 4 seconds then CTS(CrashToStart). Photos will let me look around for about ten seconds, then CTS. Reading List, CTS soon as it looks loaded.
I have tried re-installing the apps, to no avail. or a hotfix will be released, because a refresh would be a sucky option just for it to break again.
Apps / Software :: Apps Not Compatible With 8.1 But Working On 8
Nov 30, 2013Maybe a very few of you have read my topic on Vistaforums. I have "only" 5 operating systems on PC.
XPSP3
Vista SP2 x64
7 SP1 x64
8 Pro x64
Ubuntu 12.10
After Microsoft released the 8.1, I knew that the time of Windows 8 is gone. If the PC is better than a Pentium D it does not worth bothering with it. But I installed this 8 in May, becuse there was no working bootloader on my PC, and that was the easiest way to have one. Also it turned out that Metro isn't that bad, it's fast and good. Also D3D optimizations like for BF4.
But Windows 8 won't get IE11, cannot run Asphalt8, no further support, etc...
So I would like to do the upgrade. So the question is, a new install with Windows 8.1, and having 6 OS's, or formatting Windows 8 partition and installing 8.1?
XP is necessary for a huge load of apps from the early 2000's, it's the only 32bit OS on my pc, and some hardware only supports this or older OS's.
Vista: backup OS, if I mess up everything, and native DX10.0
7: daily usage, mostly supported with drives for todays phone flashing
8: FAST, so I use it a lot.
But there are incompatibilities. Some phone flashers won't work on 8, and some games are glitchy too (today's discovery is PoP Sands of Time). So I wouldn't delete XP and 7 for any money.
So, is it necessary to keep Windows 8? Is there anything that works only on 8 (like DX10 was on vista)? Because if there is an app, that doesn't work on 8.1, but runs well on 7 and 8, I won't keep Windows 8.
write a comment with the name of the application, and I will decide. Currently, I'm planning to delete Windows 8 and install 8.1 if I will have time.

Apps / Software :: Keytweak Not Working With Windows 8?
May 31, 2013I've used Keytweak in the past with Win7. Now I find it's not working as expected in Windows 8. Changes are not being adopted by the registry and at reboot the app does not reflect the key remap change. Is there a trick to get this utility behaving as expected?

Windows 8.1 - Add Or Remove Programs Doesn't Work Anymore (in Metro)
Jul 17, 2014Windows 8.1. I had an issue with the general user folder name, which was shown as "Alex_000". Although this was a cosmetic issue only, I wanted to change this to "Alex". I successfully managed this by changing about 50 entries in the registry (via regedit).
So fine so good. Now I found out that there are still some leftovers with "Alex_000" in the Windows system, although I have tried to find every bit and peace, where possible:
When I try to open "Add or Remove Programs" in the Metro surface, I get an error message:
Windows cannot find
'C:Usersalex_000...Classic_{a lot of weird chars}.settingscontent-ms'.
Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
Somewhere in the system, there must still be links with Alex_000 existing. I tried searching the registry, tried a simple search on C: disc - no success.
In other words: Everything works fine - except of starting the apps from the metro surface for "remove software", or "user accounts", and maybe some other system apps, which I haven´t discovered yet. If I do the same from the desktop, no problem - all these apps work well!
So where are the referring links for such system apps within the metro surface stored? Obviously not in the registry... How/where can i find these orphaned links for the said apps in Metro?
Apps / Software :: Ctrl Alt Del Has Stopped Working On Windows 8.1
Apr 21, 2014I installed Classic Shell on my Windows 8.1 laptop and i kinda didn't like it too much so i uninstalled it. But it hasn't uninstalled completely, when i try running setup again, and choosing the 'remove' option it doesn't uninstall! Anyways, that isn't really the problem, the thing is, when i press 'ctrl alt del', it doesn't go to task manager, i tried right clicking on the start icon and clicking on task manager but that didn't work either, so i had to go to start menu and search for task manager and then finally it came up.
I'm wondering if there is any correlation between classic shell and 'ctrl al del' not working, any way of getting it to work again.
Apps / Software :: Windows Installer Hangs - Not Working At All
Mar 23, 2014Since a few weeks for some reason I cannot access some programs (like MS Word), it just says that "the operating system is not presently configured to run this application". It doesn't show up as a registry item either same as some other programs.
Now my problem is that I cannot install a new version, nor openoffice, or anything else for that matter that uses windows installer.
I've checked if the service and subservice was running and they were, I've tried SFC /scannow and Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth but they both didn't fix the problem ( did fix some corruptions though).
What happens with the installer is basically it doesn't do anything. It just sits at initializing forever and doesn't install anything at all. Currently cannot install any programs but don't want to reinstall windows since I have a lot of programs and settings I don't want to lose.
