Power button in the start Windows 8.1 screen

When I go to the Windows Start Menu 8.1 I have all of the options of closing down, sleep etc.  I have a laptop, I expected this option to be there.  Can someone explain how to recover?

Things I've tried:

I searched all the parameters that I can find, but if you know where it is I would be very grateful to hear it!

I used a change in the registry tutorial that was supposed to solve the problem found here - http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/windows-81-update-1-tip-toggle-power-button

Hey D_E_Manton,

I don't think that this feature is something that has been disabled by HP.

You have the latest updates for your system? Windows 8.1 does not initially include the functions of power on the start screen. These were added later with an update and is the most likely solution to your problem.

In addition, as a temporary work around you could do what I did in Windows 8 for my PC at home. Create a shortcut in "c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu" to sleep, stop, or restart. As long as you create shortcuts in the correct path to the file, they should be viewable on your screen, allowing you to pin them there. You can change the icons of shortcuts to display the corresponding images using this path of the file as you choose the icons: %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll

When to use the shortcut created the following location:

Shutdown - shutdown.exe/s/t 00

Restart - shutdown.exe/r/t 00

Sleep - shutdown.exe/h

I hope this helps!

    What is the symbol on the left of the power button on the odf before the CPU?  It looks like three stacked discs and a light under the symbol flashes?

    Hello

    It's just a visual indication of when your drive is reading or writing data - so if it flashes quickly this would indicate a lot of hard drive activity, less when the LED flashes slowly.

  • Delay on the 'Starting Windows' screen

    The problem I have is this, whenever I start my PC there is a delay on the 'Starting Windows' screen. The screen does not freeze or anything just ten minutes to bring up the Log In screen. It's the only time where that the PC is delayed, it has no effect on the operation of the PC. I uninstalled my anti virus and that does make a difference and I have made sure all drivers are up to date. Anyone have any suggestions?

  • How to trigger DA when the user clicks a button close the standard window

    Hello!

    Apex 5.0 & universal theme.

    I want to trigger some DA when the user clicks on the button indicated to my image (button close the standard window). In fact, I would like to pass a value of my hidden form IR back and refresh IR if value = 1 or don't refresh with another value.

    Is this possible?

    Thank you.

    close_form.png

    Hi Yava,

    Seems that you have chosen to add the event handler to the page parent (the one with the IR). I think it's best. This means that the code above does not apply.

    The dialogclose event and all other dialogue jQuery UI events are triggered in the dialog box to create a DA pull on the IR will not work (because the dialog box is outside the IRR while she bubbles it won't go through the SORTING). You must handle the event on the body. This works because the event propagates to the body. Set the Type to choose to be "jQuery Selector". JQuery Selector enter 'body' (without the quotes). The event you want to handle is a custom, event which means that this isn't one of those in the select list. For event, choose "Custom". Then enter Custom Event "dialogclose" (without the quotes). Now you have a DA who fires when * all * dialog closes. You may or may not need to get more selective than that. For action, you can use refresh as you do already.

    Kind regards

  • After a power cut my PC is in a loop in the start windows normally, safe mode, last known good configuration screen

    After a power failure when I start my PC, it gets to the screen... "We apologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully... When I try to reboot in one of the 5 modes to start normally, safe mode, safe mode with command prompt SafeMode with network, last known Noah correct configuration of their work and the loops of the computer to this sreen repeatedly.

    KB307545 is a very bad idea to begin with - especially after a power failure (and it's usually just a very bad idea).  You don't describe symptoms suggestive of a need to run the KB307545, but, I'm not a Microsoft Support engineer so don't hesitate if you are forced to do, and I wish you good luck.

    What you need to do, is start in the XP Recovery Console and run chkdsk/r first.  Is is possible that the blackout damaged your NTFS file system and a chkdsk/r is to clean it.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    Sometimes, when XP has a problem starting or falls down and tries to start again, it will give you a "short" menu of boot options and none of them will appear to be good to get your system going again.  You have tried them all!

    The options are similar to the Advanced Boot Options menu XP, but the only option that you need (disable automatic error system reboot) are not offered, because XP went too far during the boot process and offers a limited number of boot options.

    If this is the case, you must call Options menu advanced boot yourself until you do not see the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    When you get the XP Advanced Options correct start menu you want to see, he has options on it like these:

    Safe mode
    Safe mode with networking
    Safe mode with command prompt

    Enable Boot logging
    Enable VGA mode
    Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
    Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
    Debug mode
    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Start Windows normally
    Reset
    Return to OS Choices Menu

    You need to choose in this menu is the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Then if XP does not start normally, you will see an error screen with information and clues about the problem and then you can decide what to do next.

    If you do not see the automatic restart on system failure option turn it off, you must reset your system and start typing the key F8 on the keyboard until you see her disable automatic restart on system failure option.

    If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again and start tapping the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restart on system failure, and then select.

    You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

    If your system has a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), we need to know what the screen says:

    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

    http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

    If it looks like there is some kind of name listed in the STOP message file, send this line also.

    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

    Answering queries and results report of the disable automatic restart on system failure screen and you can decide what to do next.

    See what the BSOD said would be interesting, but I would still recommend that you run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console to make sure your file system is not damaged.

    Answer the questions and we can see what to do next.

  • Lack of buttons on the top window right in Thunderbird

    My problem has already been discussed here:

    https://support.Mozilla.org/da/questions/987606

    This thread has been archived, so I can't comment on that. I have the same problem as described here: every now and then, the three buttons on the right top of the page in the main Thunderbird window stop working. In fact, they are not yet drawn more. I suspect that this may be related to (UN) hibernation the machine because the problem started occurring at the same time I started using Hibernate in Windows 7. Alternatively the bug was reintroduced in a Thunderbird update occurring between one and two months.

    No other program of your use XUL as a window definition language is is my guess. You are using a non-standard theme? This happens in the VNC or only after the event?

  • Pressing the power button opens the marshmallow camera app

    So 2 days ago, I was finally able to update to the marshmallow Lollipop :-)
    -J' found that endurance mode is disapparead and I have heard that it is replaced by: "Optimization of the battery" or snoozing?

    I really miss stamina mode, is there something similar I can use inside the android Marshmallow?

    I tried something inside the setting "block yoptimization", but it isn't really the same as endurance.

    Furthermore, I have a new problem that has ever taken place on lolipop and this is when I press the "lock screen" button sometimes the phone vibrates and opens the camera application?

    But it is not allways but sometimes.

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  • You can choose or limit the photos in the Photo of charm located on the start window?

    I'm on Windows 8 - Intel Core i7-4700 MQ 64-bit operating system on an HP Envy 17 laptop Quad t -.

    I have more than one folder of photos (in fact, the folders and the subfolders) located under my pictures (library > photos > my images)

    Is there a way to limit the photos that show the start > pictures of charm to only the photos contained in one of the folders?

    At the present time, the charm of the picture seems to be choosing at random pictures of any (perhaps all?) of the files and subfolders located in "my pictures".

    Will it go the other photo folders off the my images or images files, while they will not appear on the charm?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    You're right, the tile will show random pictures of anything in your photo library.  You move images out there, if you don't want to show them.  Or you can also click the right button of the tile and "disable the Webcam live tile" so it will appear a picture at all.

    PS. the tiles are called just of tiles.  The charms are actually the 5 options on the right side of the screen (when you drag or point to the corner at the top), which are research/action/start/devices/settings.

    There is a setting for whatever inform Windows on each of the individual tabs or only the active tab in each separate window. Here's where you can check and adjust that:
