• My screen keeps dimming every few seconds, even if I changed the settings and saved!

  Hi I have Windows 7 and I have passed to the control panel and changed the settings for power. I got my high-performance switch mode, changed the settings so that it only fades every 10 minutes and saved. However, my computer keeps dimming of the screen at very low about every 7 seconds! I have to make it brighter, but it fades again! Sometimes it fades it right after she cheer up! I even tried to make a personalized plan, but it did not work. What can I do to make the screen stop all seconds dimming! I've tried everything!

• 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.

• 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

• Cannot change the settings on the computer. No access to the administrator account

  Original title: I can't access permissions to change settings or programs.

  I can not access permissions to change any settings or programs and do not have access to an administrator account, I tried what allows one but you must have admin permission to do so. Please point me in the right direction, it seems that Ive tried everything. ID realyy don't want to spend money on software

  Hi Christophe,

  -With which user account you have connected? It is a standard user account?

  -What happens when you try to change the settings? You receive an error? In the affirmative, please let us know the exact error message.

  Since you are not able to create an administrator account, I suggest you to enable the built-in Administrator account.

  1. you must start the computer by using the Windows 7 installation media.

  Follow the steps in http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/what-are-system-recovery-options#what-are-system-recovery-options=windows-7 to enter the recovery options in Windows 7.

  Note: See the manual of the computer to change the Boot order in the BIOS and set the CD/DVD as first boot device.

  2. Once you start the computer by using the Windows 7 installation disc, follow the instructions on the screen then go food Advanced Options and select command prompt.

  In the command prompt, type net user administrator / Active: Yes

  After the command finishes, restart the computer and then log on to the administrator account by default, change the account type of the old user account and make as administrator and check if you are able to change the settings.

  Follow the steps in the http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/change-a-users-account-type to change the account type of the user account.

  Once you have set the administrator type account with your user account, disable the default user account by following these steps.

  1. login to your user account.

  2. open the command prompt, type cmd. exe in the run search and right click on cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator.

  3. type net user administrator / active: No.

  This will disable the built-in Administrator account.

  Hope this information is useful.

• 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.

  Separated from this thread.

  This looks like what I have to do, but apparently my PC settings does not work properly.  Since I got my last windows 8.1 update, I can access is no longer to change the settings for my PC and I can not connect to my store of google.  He always says "Sorry there was a problem of signing" when I try to open to change PC settings only, it flashes and returns to the screen, I'm on.  Suggestions, please?

• 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.
