• Windows 8 - not able to access 'Change PC settings'; Unable to create a user profile. Store/Start menu does not work.

  Hello

  Recently, I'm stuck with these issues:

  1. not able to access 'Change PC settings' - when I click on it nothing happens.

  2 start menu/Store does not work - I am using the profile of the user admin Start Menu is a blank blue screen with just the user name appears at the top right. Store is completely scratched too.

  

  While the guest user has all the tiles in Start menu/store.

  3. cannot create a user profile - I wanted to try to create a new user profile and check if the store is working properly. When I click on 'Add a new user in the laptop settings' nothing happens.

  I tried the system restore, but it does not solve all of the above. Is there any solution to these problems without having to reinstall Win 8? I don't have the installation discs.

  TIA!

  You can use the restore or refresh options without going in the settings of the PC.  Read the instructions carefully, it says:

  If you can't identify, or use laptop settings app, you can access these rather safe mode options. On the login screen, click on the power icon, and then hold down the SHIFT key on the keyboard while you click on restart. Now keep update until the next screen appears.

• Can't access "Change PC settings" Win 8

  My PC (Dell desktop running Windows 8 Pro, updated since Windows 7) has been having all sorts of problems lately, so I wanted to do a refresh. I opens the settings menu in the sidebar, click on "Change PC settings" at the bottom and nothing happens. I really need to access this menu, but it seems inaccessible.

  Perhaps related to this problem, my Start Menu of Metro is now completely empty. There are no icons. I have no idea of what is happened (I don't use the Metro interface much so I don't know how long this has happened).

  Restore from an earlier point is not an option since the only restore point is earlier this afternoon, for some reason any.

  This suggestion about creating a different user account to test the functionality of the laptop settings is a good, I think. Initially, I had no problem to access the settings of the PC since I created the non-administrator user account. Somewhere along the line - because of the upgrade, app software installation... who knows?-I lost access to that account, but was still able to access it from the administrator account.

  Have not yet tried your clean boot procedure, but who will give a go too. Thank you.

• Cannot access the background settings of screen (Vista HomePremium)

  In the customization settings, it seems not able to change my wallpaper settings.

  Only the following options are displayed:

  The window color and appearance
  Screen saver
  Sounds
  Mouse pointers
  Theme
  Display settings

  It's my own laptop, so I'm the admin. I remember having the option before, and I went today to see if I had the options for a rotating background and to my surprise, I can't check it again. (If I can't it's good, but I wish that my ability at least to change my options of paper painted back)

  I can rightclick an image to set as office, but that doesn't help if I can't change the settings.

• Cannot access 'change of startup with the Defender programs stops but prove Essentials won't advocate not run

  Microsoft Security Essentials disables the Defender, but with Defender disabled I can't access certain items in such as 'Change startup programs' control panel - I get the message that the Defender is not enabled - if I try to activate Defendeer access, the freezing of the entire machine.  Defender does not appear in the list of programs - so it cannot be deleted.  (Well not really), I am surprised that Microsoft may not yet know of ocnflicts with its own software.  What is the reference for this?

  Because of the interaction between the defender and Essentials I need to completely uninstall Essesntials for program startup - enable - disable options via the control panel.  When you click the option to enable - disable the startup program that a box comes up saying Defender is turned off, and if you click on to activate it, the machine frezzes.  This is exactly the problem I want to fix it.  Your p - submit not only serve to illustrate the problem.  I have no idea why Defender is connected to the options of startup programs, but it is apparently and screw Essentials correct operation of this function.

  Thank you for your help

  It's really good that you posted this question. So far on this forum many people ask the same questions, but all have been at the origin of new machines of Win8.
  Now we have the situation with the old machine Win7 but with Win8 preinstalled.

  Solution for other people needed to proceed to a complete stop and after doing this, it was possible to enter the BIOS settings. Check it please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm

  This situation does not for me so here's a question for you:

• Windows 10 devices cannot access the router settings (R6250) page

  So, after several hours of troubleshooting (reset the router, firmware flashing, try several devices) I think I discovered why I get the message '192.168.1.1 refused to connect': 10 Windows. All devices not - 10 Windows can connect to Settings page fine, but all of my Windows 10 devices fail and get this message. And on my laptop, it gets the message refused on Windows 10, but when I rebooted the router and tried a linux live usb on the laptop, it connected to the page of the parameters very well. So I think it's some kind of problem between Windows 10 and the router.

  Anyone has any advice on how to fix this? I need the settings page to run on Windows 10 as it is the main operating system I use.

  Thank you!

• Product: HP Pavilion Notebook-PC G7, cannot access the bios settings/turn off the keys f1 - f12, please help!

  I got this laptop PC in 2012, it is a series of G7, I'm pretty sure. My problem is that when I turn the computer off and turn it back on, there is no option to open the menu of the bios (esc) or any option besides. Just a symble blue HP directly in the middle of the screen with a symbol of little loading below him. I pressed ESC, f1 - f10 and virtually all other keys to try to access it. What I really want to do is to disable most annoying f1 - f12 function keys.

  I'm no longer under warranty and my operating system is Windows 8.  There is also no error at all, just no response what that's right don't charge up to login password screen.

  Please help and contribution is appreciated.

  Hi 2livewire4,

  Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

  I see that you are looking to access the BIOS of your laptop Pavilion. You can't access BIOS in the same way on Windows 8, because you have a faction of a second to get the right timing because of the quick loading of Windows 8 feature. This third party link will show you how to access the UEFI that will lead to the BIOS. You can also do it from the Windows 8 login screen as this Microsoft link will show. Here is a document from HP support disable the function on some models Fn key combination +.

  Thank you

• No access to the store or change PC settings

  Hi Microsoft supports,

  My laptop (Lenovo Y500 - without SSD) comes with pre-installed Windows 8.0 and I managed to reset my computer to factory settings twice with no problems until now.

  Recently, I bought a new SSD Samsung 840 250 GB that I put in an ultrabay slot (removed the dvd player and connected my SSD drive instead). I used the Samsung migration software to clone my hard drive and to migrate all my data to the SSD. After you configure the boot sequence starting with SSD, everything went well and the windows started from the SSD instead of hard drive. The current situation is that there are the exactly the same data on my SSD and HDD.

  That is the problem. I can't access the Windows store or change PC settings article I wanted to reinstall (reset my computer to factory settings using the new SSD for my OS Win 8.) Once properly reinstalled, I would delete all the data on my HARD drive. I'm afraid to delete all my data, including Windows 8, on the HARD drive so that I wouldn't lose my Windows capable of re-installation 8.

  When I try to access change PC settings or store to Win, nothing happens and it brings me to the homescreen instead of navigate here. There is no error notification or anything. After clicking on the button change PC settings, I can see the screen for a few seconds, and then it jumps to the home screen. Here is a screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/kRKYZxjk57ES

  If this may have something to do with Windows 8 security settings that prevent me from cloning my OS and move on to someone else?

  As soon as I put back boot from my HARD drive and let it boot, I can get to the Bank and the settings. As far as I know, I can't choose a car that I would like to put my Windows 8 during its installation (reset to factory settings), so I can't start an installation when booted from the hard disk. Or am I missing something? Is it possible to do?

  I scoured the forums and the Internet for the last few days and I could not find a solution to my problem, that's why, I'd appreciate it if you could help me with this question.

  Thank you very much.

• Cannot access BIOS after closing down and also can not use change PC settings either.

  Hello

  I am wanting to access BIOS so I can restart the computer with windows 7, since I had nothing else problems with windows 8.1. It messed up my registry and now I can't use one of the windows in all applications, just the office part. (Computer worked fine with windows 8 before that I "upgraded", if you can call it.) So either no access to change PC settings and the BIOS keys do not work when you press during loading. Help, please

  Hello

  Try the following.

  Shut down the laptop by holding down the key SHIFT left click Shutdown to temporarily prevent a hybrid boot.

  Now on TAP the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to see if it will launch the Start Menu.  If this is the case, select f10 to open the bios menu.

  Kind regards
