lost any customization window 8.1

Did a update and restart the overnight last night. When I looked at the computer this morning all my customization disappeared. Looks like the computer screen than a year ago, when I bought it. All the programs I've pinned to the taskbar are gone from it. When I tried to start Outlook, he wants that I go through Setup again. All my favorites are gone. Someone had this problem? If so, is there a way to make it back without going through all the configurations again?

Try to do a restore before updates. This will remove the updates and anything else that you have installed since the restore but point will leave all of your settings and files intact.  Or if you did a refresh custom images you can also use this, hope this helps and if you need further assistance post and we will be happy to help you. Good luck.

    I just upgraded to FF 3 FF9 and in the process lost my 'New tab' button, and there isn't one in the view > customization window. So, how manually open a new tab in FF9?

    To open the window to customize the toolbar, do one of the following:

    • Firefox button > Options > toolbars
    • Press ALT or F10 to temporarily show the Menu bar and choose from there (view > toolbars > customize)
    • Hold DOWN the ALT key while pressing the VTC keyboard letters

    If you want Office 2007 updates to appear in the installed updates again, you would need to uninstall/reinstall Office 2007 and install all the updates again.

    Assuming that Office 2007 is installed & working properly and no update is offered when you run a manual check for updates now, you might want to leave enough alone (that is, do nothing) - then see if the 2 updates for Office 2007 SP3 be released next Tuesday (a) receive, (b) successfully install and (c) are listed in the installed updates later.

    PS: The possible causes of the problem are messing with registry cleaners, messing around with the Software Distribution folder, and the fact that it was a computer refurbished when you bought it.

    Hello

    Your Store account is independent of any installation of Windows 8. If you have downloaded or bought all the apps store, this information is saved in the store.

    To reinstall your applications after reinstalling.

    1. open the store and make sure that you are connected with your Store account (press the Windows key + I, then select your account).

    2 on the main screen, right click and select your applications on the top toolbar.

    3 in the drop-down Menus, select applications and the sort by name.

    4 in the results, click each application that you want to reinstall , and then click the icon to install the toolbar at the bottom.

    Note: If you have a very large number of applications to reinstall, select a few at a time to reinstall.

  • When you customize my Toobars button I can't get the bookmark toolbar from the drop down menu to stay, it all disappears just once I close the customization window.

    I'm talking about the customizable toolbars button on the right. I opened the window customize, of course the menu bookmark of bown drop-down appears, but there is another bar of bookmarks that I use, which only opens the window on the left on my browser bookmark.

    I want the drop-down button, but it disappears all just once I close the toolbar customization window. It never happened on Win 7, but now on Win XP something does not go.

    There are two buttons of different bookmarks that are using the same image. The one with the small arrow "drop-marker" to the right of the button is to the drop of bookmarks and by default is on the bookmarks toolbar-, but it appears on the toolbar bookmarks only when the menu bar is hidden and the orange Firefox button is visible. If you have the option to menu bookmarks showing on the Menu bar, this button is superfluous.

    The other button bookmarks (without the arrow) starts in the palette to customize and is the one who opens the bookmarks bar.

  • Customization window will not be displayed - tried several things

    For some time my wallpaper customization window happen when I click on it. It upward to shows like a second and disappears quickly. Color customization window does the same. Other windows customization as the screen resolution invents it.

    I tried SFC and repaired some files but not others. I tried to read the CBS but when I go to cmd and the command input (findstr/c: "[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log > sfcdetails.txt) to watch it does nothing and I find myself just close cmd.

    I ran virus scans the most current free version of AVG, as well as a few other software free antivirus online - nothing came

    I also made the chkdsk and it takes place without incident

    I also tried to restore the system at the earliest date, I got and it didn't work

    I also went in Mode without failure and the problem persisted, as it did when I created a new user

    The only thing I have not tried doing a repair installation. At this point I don't have a disk to put in my player (my cd/dvd drive does not work on startup)

    When I go to control panel and click on 'Change background' a message comes up with something in the sense of:

    Windows cannot find ' shell: followed by a string of numbers/letters, and then say "Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again." With OK as the only option.

    I would really like to be able to solve this problem without reinstalling a new OS. It is not a big gene, because everything else on the computer works well.

    Thank you

  • I have lost my Dell Windows 7 discs. How can I get replacement?

    original title: Hi, I m nik, I lost my cd windows 7 Home Basic, I took the dell laptop about 3 months back, so how can I get windows 7 cd back?

    I have DELL INSPIRON N4010

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  • If I buy windows 8 (any OS windows) now and install in my computer and after a year when I change my computer, can I install the SAME operating system in the new computer?

    If I buy windows 8 (any OS windows) now and install in my computer and after a year when I change my computer, can I install the SAME operating system in the new computer?

    You can if you buy a commercial box full of Windows 8 version.

    If you buy a computer with Windows preinstalled, or a version OEM of Windows 8, 8 No, you can't.

    If you buy a version upgrade, you can, as long as the new computer has a licensed version earlier of Windows on them.

  • I can not install any application Windows store. incorrect time showing a time 0 * 80080008 another time 0 * 80072efe all time showing like this different type of error.

    I can not install any application Windows store. incorrect time showing a time 0 * 80080008 another time 0 * 80072efe all time showing like this different type of error. first time using windows 8.1 but restore for windows 8. but problem still. How do reslove this problem.

    Hi Anish,

    If you receive the error 80072efe or 80080008 when you use Windows Store, the cause may be an interruption of the connection between your computer and the Windows Update service.

    Here are a few methods you can try to solve this problem.

    Method 1: Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter.

    Open and run the Windows Update Troubleshooter to fix the problem automatically.

    Method 2: Run the troubleshooter for Internet connections.

    Open the network troubleshooter utility by hitting at full speed in the straight edge screen, quilting search (or if you use a mouse, pointing to the top right of the screen, move the pointer of the mouse down and then clicking search), inbound to identify and repairin the search box, and then tapping or identify and repair network problems.

    Method 3: Restart the Windows update service and check.

    a. press or press the Windows key + R, type services.msc and press ENTER.

    b. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or click continue.

    c. find the Background Intelligent Transfer Service and check the status.

    d. If the status is stopped, click Background Intelligent Transfer Servicesand then click Start menu.

    e. search Windows Update and check the status.

    f. If the status is stopped, click Windows Update, and then click Start menu.

    g. close Services.

    Method 4: T emporarily disable the security software and verify.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
