i am using a software for trail version of 7 days, after that if i install it says license is invalid. So i formatted my complete hard drive and installed os windows 8.1. Later i installed software again, actually i need to get a trail version of 7 days, but it is saying that license is invalid.
I want to know weather after even formatting is some registry files are not cleared..
I have Windows 8 and Windows 7 installed in my desktop PC and it goes into "hibernation" after a few minutes sleep. I quoted "hibernates" because I'm not sure this is truly Hibernation, perhaps it's some special Asrock hibernation or something.
After about 20 minutes sleep, the PC starts and then shuts off by itself, but when I turn it on again, you get a black screen first (nothing else, no "resuming from hibernation", nothing) and after a minute or so all appears as you left it before putting it to sleep, as if it had resumed from hibernation.
It happens with both Windows 7 and Windows 8. I'd rather it didn't go into hibernation, but remain in sleep mode.
I've tried all options in Power Options > Change Advanced power settings, so I'm sure it's not related to power options.
I think this has to do with UEFI settings or it's some Asrock feature, but I don't which, I've tried some.
I've already disabled and deleted hyberfil.sys

I was wondering if there was a way to avoid login when switching between accounts. I have things set up so I automatically login when I start the computer and when I awake from sleep.
But if my wife is using the computer and switches to her account, when I switch back, I have to sign in.
I could, I suppose change mine to a local account (like hers), but is there a way to do it with a microsoft account?
There have been a lot of questions about how to boot directly into desktop and avoid Metro. My question is just the opposite. When I'm in Metro and I open an app, it first brings up the desktop and then the app on top of it. I would like to open an app without opening desktop. Is there a way?

Here are some tricks and traps to look out for during software installations.
Since upgrading to windows 8/8.1 x64 i have twice had this situation when during boot up windows tries automatic repair & fails , every time i restart same repair fail happens , its stuck in this cycle , neither "Refresh" or "Reset" option works , . I have to do a fresh format & install , loose all my files stored in the OS partition , I even tried to recover the files using linux boot cd but the folders were inaccessible/corrupted .
I tried every solution i could find to make it boot including Unable to refresh or reset PC after Automatic Repair fails in Windows 8 but nothing worked .
This has happened twice in the one year since i have been using Win 8 , Is there any way to avoid this from happening i future ?
I use my cell phone for internet access on my laptop, since it can act as a portable wifi access point.
The problem I'm having is that every time I connect, Windows 8.1 creates a new profile. So I started with "Phone access point", then I got "Phone access point 2" on the second connection, "Phone access point 3" on the third connection, and so on and so on, creating a new profile every time I connect.
Is there any way I can tell Windows 8.1 to use the same network profile whenever it connects to "Phone access point", since it's the same connection as it was last time. It does it correctly for all the other wifi access points I connect to: home, work,, the only one that's causing a problem is the phone's connection.
I just tried to integrate MSU updates to W8 Install.wim by DISM. I executed (after other commands):
Code:
DISM /image:C:mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:MSU
In C:MSU I have:
