How can I change the name on the screen of Windows 8 start?

Just set up the new computer with Windows 8. Spent a ridiculous amount of time to change the name of the profile at the top right of the home screen...

Have tried many scenarios found via this forum, google search, etc... all to nothing does not.

Specifically, I've connected on my MSFT account and change to my desired name 'show' and it shows there as intended, as it does when I connect on 8 of Windows mail, Outlook etc... But not on the Windows 8 start screen.

Advice/suggestions would be appreciated at this point...

Thank you

Steve

This start screen name must come to the right of your MS Account.

You can try this, but I'm not positive if it relates in reality.  Use Win + R to display the run, type netplwiz and click OK.  In the list, select your account, then on properties and specify in the 'Full name' box, then restart.

    Unfortunately, this is not possible.
    It s a Portuguese Vista OS preinstalled and you cannot change the language.
    If you want to use an English Vista the you must buy an original Vista operating system in the English language.

    read here:

    Team blog product Microsoft Update: Windows Update and restarting automatic http://blogs.technet.com/mu/archive/2008/10/02/windows-update-and-automatic-reboots.aspx

    Change how Windows installs or informs you about updates http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Change-how-Windows-installs-or-notifies-you-about-updates>

    If you select the download updates but let me choose... option, no update will install without your approval. Suppose an update will require a reboot and does not approve the installation of an update until & unless you are ready to restart.

    You can change the setting "notify only". Once you have done this, you will need to approve the updates are downloaded updates are installed commandeLorsque, which they are installed.

    I prefer "Notify only" setting.

    When they are installed.

    What are the differences between Windows updates and automatic updates from Microsoft Updates?

    While Windows Update provides updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for other Microsoft software, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live [as well as Silverlight & Microsoft Security Essentials]. Update automatic is a feature that allows you to configure your PC to automatically download and install updates using each service, making it easy and convenient for you to keep your current Windows PC.

    Source: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/windowsupdate/FAQ.mspx>

    If you disable Microsoft Update, your default update source is "reversed" update of Windows, but it does NOT neutralize automatic updates.

  • How can I change the locations of Windows Update to the default settings of Windows?

    Windows backup does not complete successfully, and I get the message "the system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002). Windows error procedures have not found the answer.  Solving the problems of files MS Fixit found that where Windows Update stores data has changed and that it should be repaired by changing places of WU to the default settings of Windows.  Please can someone explain how to do this?

    Hi Derek,.

    Thanks to join Microsoft Community where you will find all necessary information about the Windows operating systems.

    You cannot perform backup and get error the system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002).

    The problem may occur if there is some disk errors hard or due to the interruption by third-party programs.

    What fixit have you tried?

    To check if the problem is due to hard drive errors or due to the interruption by third-party programs, I suggest you follow the steps:

    After each step, if the problem persists, go to the other.

    Method 1: Check the hard disk for errors

     

    See the site:

    Check your hard drive for errors

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

     

    Note:  When checking a disk for errors, if bad sectors si des secteurs defectueux sont are found then the system tries to repair sector. All data may be lost. So make a backup of the data.

     

    Method 2: Clean boot

     

    When the computer starts to boot, programs non-Microsoft will not be started and would avoid any interruption of their share.

    See the mentioned site:

    How to perform a clean boot for a problem in Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 3 of section to set your computer to normal startup.

    Note: If in case, you are connected via a connection wireless, and then when you start the System Configuration utility to perform the clean boot, click Startup and Services tab one time and check wireless see corresponding section are checked (enabled).

     

    I hope this helps. If the problem persists, or if you have problems of Windows in the future, let us know and we would be happy to help you.
