Apps disappeared and the laptop settings does not work

All my applications disappeared from Windows 8.1 in my user account, even if they are still there in the guest user account. I checked this forum and tried a lot of things that have been proposed by other users, but nothing has worked. I can't create a new account with administrator privileges, or refresh my laptop because the "change PC settings" does not work either. I already tried this: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/broken-change-pc-settings-link-windows-8-1

And I just get the message «Deployment failed [...]» the system cannot find the file specified. "

I think that this problem was caused by a virus, because it happened right after that my anti-virus kept warning repeatedly "threat detected". I followed the guidelines to remove malware etc.

Hello

Please consult the complete steps and after trying them, try the steps mentioned in the article in your query:

http://www.kapilarya.com/fix-modern-apps-not-working-after-upgrading-to-Windows-8-1

Moreover, if that fails, you can try to create a new user account from the control panel and see if the laptop settings works on it.

Hope this helps, good luck :)

    my / Tablet PC

    Dorothy salvation,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I don't understand that the volume and the touch screen does not work and I'll be happy to answer your query. These features require the updated drivers for them work. Let me ask you;

    • When was the last time that the two have worked?
    • Remember to no particular change in the device before the show?
    • Since the touch screen does not work, you are able to use the options settings?

    The device requires the updated drivers for the volume and the touch screen. I suggest to follow the methods below and check.

    Method 1: Run the troubleshooter of material and check if that helps.

    a. type in the right edge of the screen, and then click Search.
    (If you use a mouse, point to the upper right of the screen, move the pointer of the mouse down and then click find.)

    b. enter Troubleshooting in the search box, type or click Troubleshooting, and then press or click on hardware and sound.

    c. press or click on hardware and devicesand follow the instructions on the screen. You may be prompted for an administrator password or to confirm your choice.

    Method 2: Update the drivers

    Step 1: Update the driver through Device Manager

    a. press the Windows key + X , and then click Device Manager

    b. expand driver Sound

    c. make a right click driver, and then click Update driver software

    Step 2: Install the Windows updates pending

    To check the updates:

    1. Open Windows Update by hitting on any fly in the right edge of the screen (or, if you are using a mouse, pointing to the corner bottom right of the screen, move the mouse upward), tapping or clicking on settings, tapping or clicking change PC settingsand then by typing or clicking on update and recovery.

    2. Press or click check nowand then wait while Windows searches the latest updates for your PC.

    3. If updates are found, tap or click install updates.

      Read and accept the terms of the license and then press or click Finish if the update requires it.

    4. Restart the computer for the updates to be applied.

    Step 3: Visit the website of the manufacturer of the device support and install the latest drivers for the sound and touch to Windows 8 for the same model of aircraft.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

    It's probably the pilots who are responsible and who may not really be later or they need to be
    re-installed anyway. The best way is to manually review using the methods below.

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS - look for HD Audio Manager - Mine said RealTek High
    Audio definition (this is an example and you can have an other name/maker).

    Write the description and the model double click on it - tab drivers - write down
    Version. Now click on update drivers who cannot do anything as MS is far behind certifying
    drivers. Then CLICK RIGHT on it and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver
    stack.

    You can have the default windows or a former certified pilot and it's all or part of the
    issue.

    Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of the system and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to
    where you put - right-click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN-

    Check the Version tab of the driver in the Device Manager as the restoration of the sound card drivers often
    and then install the latest version. Restart and check after each test, not
    rare to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more. Just the version make sure you
    installed shows upward on the tab of the driver.

    Go to the site of the manufacturer of the device, and then search for the even more recent drivers and install repeat
    operating mode. Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - click on - RUN AS
    ADMIN - Reboot

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers to 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above is)
    to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are are preferably)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    After the updated driver.

    Click with the right button on the speaker near clock - recorders - right click in the box - check see the
    Disconnected devices and show disabled devices - check your micro - highlight
    then on lower right properties. Make sure that the appropriate injector is selected and check
    other parameters - levels tab make sure that MUTE is disabled and APPLY / OK to change
    .

    Also in the search for some Audio Manager Panel (perhaps named after the manufacturer of the sound driver). Mine
    is the RealTek Audio Manager, yours can be quite different name if you have one.

  • I installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM and the product key does not work, how to fix this? I use the same product key supplied with the computer originally.

    I bought a Dell Precision T3400 of Dell Financial Services and it came with Vista Business installed.  I installed a new hard drive and installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM by using the recovery disk that came with the computer, and the product key does not work for activation.  I get a message that says I need to activate Windows, but he says that the product key is not valid.  How can I fix it?

    Thank you

    If you have reinstalled the OEM of Vista Business copy on the new hard drive, as Bill says you can't also use it in a virtual machine.

    You can only reuse your OEM of Vista professional copy if it is no longer used on the computer. Do you have what operating system installed on the new hard drive? It was an upgrade copy or complete the license?

    If you used a license to upgrade to another edition of Windows to replace your copy of company then Vista Business license is still in use (for upgrade) and you cannot reuse it in your virtual machine.

    However if you replaced Vista business with a copy of the full license of another edition then you are able to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine, but only on the same computer. You must use the product key from COA to the label on the computer. The product key is put in the copy OEM cannot find the SLIC table on the host motherboard. You must use the phone activation from within the virtual machine. Click on start in Vista Business and typing "slui 4. Do not meet the audio guests until it asks you if you want to speak to an agent. Explain that you have completely replaced the OEM copy with a copy of the full license of the new windows and now want to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine on the same computer. Agent will then give you the activation string. Remember that the virtual machine is not transferable to any other computer.

  • I forgot my password and the 'forgotten' paswword does not work

    and he continues to insert the e-mail with account assosicate!

    Hello

    Perhaps it is that you have a SnapFish.com account. A large number of long-term HP customers have SnapFish.com accounts and don't realize it. One of the printer software frees customers signed up automatically, and most people did not know, or forgot, because they never used it. Try to go to SnapFish.com and using the forgotten password screen link it connection. Once you have reset the password, go to ePrintCenter.com and use the SnapFish.com log in information to connect. If this does not help, you may need to contact SnapFish.com directly to delete the account, or use a different email to record with. Another difficulty that I have met is actually recreate a SnapFish.com account, if SnapFish says no accounts exist, or no email comes, when you try to reset your password.

  • I have a Toshiba satellite L455D laptop and the touch pad does not work

    If I plug my usb wireless mouse that works, but when I unplug it the touch pad does not work

    Have you checked to see if your laptop model has a physical button around the mouse pad that allows & turns off?  If it does not, many cell phones often have a software switch that can toggle the on & off power mouse pad.  It is usually triggered by a combination of function keys (key Fn + one of the F1 to F12 keys).

    Take a close look at the row of the top of your keyboard and see if you can find a key that has a small symbol that looks like a mouse pad.  If you find one, try pressing it in combination with your Fn key to see if your mouse pad features returns.

    If it's 6 of Lightroom, which is very likely.  Older versions of Lightroom came with a license that could be used for different operating systems, but the current version does not work.

  • Tecra 8000: monitor and the HARD disk does not work - does not start

    I have a laptop Toshiba Tecra 8000 given to me the year last by my uncle. I live in England, but it is and bought the PC in Italy. I do not know if this causes complications, but I thought it may be useful.

    Since I got it it occasionally did not display any image of all system startup, so if I have given some time and restarted it would start working again. Happening of bagan more frequently and now I can't make it work. I have conections and found that everything was in place. Then he doesn't seem to be turning on, however when I replaced the front LED cable seems to be turning on and although I couldn't hear much the CPU was luminous heat. I opened the drive and it gave once more, succeeded him and he still wouldn't start. I had purchased and replaced the screws on the heatsink around this area but I did not handle it with many other things.

    So now, I have a monitor that does not work and a gard drive that won't start... Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Could be either the card mother, CPU or ram. The processor when it goes bad or is not locked in place (have had this before, install the CPU but forgot to turn the lock, so he cannot move) the computer will act as its startup, don't give any error and stay on a black screen. Verify that the processor is locked in place. Then remove the ram and try a stick of RAM that runs on another computer. If you try the RAM and the processor do not always start, then chances are your motherboard is dead and must be replaced. Hope this helps and that solve you the problem.

  • Qosmio G20-117: bad pixels on the screen and the CD rom does not work

    Hello

    I have a problem with the computer hardware. I got a Qosmio G20-117 and you have a problem with the cdrom and the screen. Got bad pixels on the screen, and cdrom does not work. I live in the United Kingdom, so I tried signing up to them to choose the computer before the computer is out of warranty.

    Whenever I register, it says sorry, an unexpected error has occurred, please try again later. I have tried at least 20 times since yesterday and it doesn't seem to work. I have them even called and they told me, the service is stopped and will be fixed this morning but yet nothing works.

    Any solution?

    Hello

    If you want to contact Toshiba service partner in your country then why you don't call them?
    Toshiba page you will find the database with all service providers in the world.

    I don't think that you need to register something apart from the serial number of your laptop. But in my opinion this could also be done at the point of service.
