Question 8 metro Apps Windows

This question is about the Metro of Windows 8 applications. If this is not the right place for him ask then please tell me the right place to post that I can't find a site to Windows 8 issues anywhere. I currently have a Windows 8 Developer Preview installed on my netbook, and it runs as fluid as a glass of water, but none of the Metro applications worked. I thought that since this was a developer version, apps are non-functional. Not long after this event, I plugged my computer via a RGB cable to a bigger screen. I've accidentally hit a metro app while sailing on the start menu, and to my surprise, she and other applications, works great. I have disconnected the monitor and tried to start again the same apps with my monitor netbook, but it did not work as before. So my question is, the metro apps have a ceiling of resolution? My resolution is 1280 x 600. Very confused.

If this is not the right place for him ask then please tell me the right place to post that I can't find a site to Windows 8 issues anywhere.

None of the Metro applications worked
My resolution is 1280 x 600.

1024 x 768 is the minimum for Metro applications, they do not work because your resolution is too low.

You can try this modification in order to allow higher resolutions (or use your external monitor):

  • DAQmx using with windows 8 metro app

    Hello

    I wanted to create a simple application of metro style in windows 8, which reads the temperature nor usb tc01 Thermocouple.However im getting these errors:

    When adding: using NationalInstruments.DAQmx;  as a reference in my project, I get this error:

    Error 9 there is an incompatibility between the processor architecture of the "MSIL" project under construction and the processor architecture of the reference "NationalInstruments.DAQmx", "x 86". This discrepancy can cause runtime failures. Please remember to change the architecture of the processor target of your project via Configuration Manager in order to align the processor between your project and reference architectures, or take a dependency on references with a processor architecture corresponding to the architecture of the processor target for your project.

    When adding: using NationalInstruments.Common; as a reference in my project, I get the error shown in the attached photo.

    Anyway is around to use DAQ in metro (store windows) applications?

    Hi zyberb,

    It is covered in the frequently asked Questions about Windows 8:

    Can I write apps Store of Windows using software of NOR?

    Windows apps Store cannot be created using National Instruments software. These applications are run in a 'sandbox' environment, which limits their access to the system calls for low level such as the Win32 API. National Instruments products require direct access to these API calls and the system works properly. Therefore, applications created with the National Instruments software cannot only run Windows Store applications.

  • All metro UI apps windows does not just keep trying to load

    Hi, for the past 2 days, all my windows metro UI apps do not work (messenger, mail, people, bing, etc.). However applications 3rd party like Tweetro works very well. I want to try to uninstall applications, BUT the app store window does not work too. Can I know how to solve the problem? When I click on the apps UI subway windows, all I get is a loading screen which doesn't stop loading. Thank you.

    Honestly I've read a lot about this. There are so many messages that MS needs to make some kind of announcement. There are many theories about what is causing the issue, and most of them seem to be centered around the antivirus, firewall and other. I read that Windows 8 has strengthened its security and protection with Windows Defender anti-virus. I had the same questions as everyone else. My metro apps wouldn't work. Click it, you get a splash screen, and then it seems to be load with points of spinning in a circle and that's all I could get. I worked on this for 2 days and with extreme frustration. I took some advice from some other people having the same problem and I completely uninstalled Mcafee Security Suite, rebooted the computer and low and behold, that resolved 'my' problem. As for others, I can't say. I've never once refreshed or borrow. I wish I had done just a couple of days! I hope you make the right decision for yourself. I have now no antivirus 3rd party anything on my system. I'm a careful Internet user when it comes to the internet and I stay away from any type of file-sharing sites. I hope this does not come back and bite me. Good luck!

  • Windows 8 Metro apps does not open

    Windows 8 Metro Apps does not and can not access the Windows store.  I tried Apps Troubleshooter who said that he could not solve the problem.  I tried to do a restore.  It is said that he cannot fix error.  I read one post from another who says all this happened when they uninstalled McAfee.  They believe that uninstalled McAfee deleted an important dll.   My Acer Aspire also came with McAfee installed and I uninstalled it when the trial period has expired.   I think that's when my problems started.   The other user said that the metro Apps worked once they bought McAfee.   Does anyone have a solution that does not involve the purchase of McAfee?

  • Windows 8 metro apps works is not on my HD 1280 x 720 display.

    My monitor is resolution 1280 x 720. And I have to set a low resolution 1024 x 768 for metro apps work. It's weird in this resolution. Fix this microsoft. Or is it possible to set a resolution of 1280 x 768 on windows?. The highest resolution I get on windows is 1280 x 720.

    The screen resolution you can get will depend on your monitor, your graphics card and drivers of these two devices. Check the specifications of these two devices to see what both are capable of contracting. Update the drivers if necessary (including the graphics card). If possible, then change the resolution to something higher.

    If you have a desktop PC, you can always consider upgrading your graphics card. Even the most basic relatively cheap will offer a higher resolution you need. Of course, if the limiting factor is your monitor that would be more expensive.

  • Apps de Metro de Windows 8 Pro cannot connect to internet after the first reboot

    Hello

    I have recently installed Windows 8 Pro x 64 OEM, and I noticed after awhile that my store, Stocks, Weather, News,... cannot connect to the internet more. However, all other applications work.
    Even more strange, after installing all the updates, I noticed that I can navigate with my IE on the desktop, but not a single party of metro?
    Long story short, after several relocations (refresh option), I've noticed as a result of behavior:
    1. during the first start after installation, EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY. I can browse, look at the weather, everything store.
    2. when I restart the computer and any time after that, is STOP WORKING.
    Another thing I noticed was that his (SoundBlaster Audigy) card didn't work the first time, but after rebooting, it worked, so I guess something happened after the first reboot?
    It was a clean install (OEM version) and Windows are activated, and I tried signing in with or without live account (no difference).
    Help me please, since this is quite irritating :(

    Hello

    I finally found the problem.
    The invisibility of the active network has pushed me towards the answer.
    biggest mistake I made was using the option refresh windows, because it was useless for my troubleshooting.
    By mistake I chose my first install, public internet connection and the course of the updating of the system did not ask see me that.
    In defining the private connection after clean installation (No refresh, brute force reinstall) makes everything work after reboot and completely solved the problem for me.
    Why the network does not disappear after reboot? It's something weird, and it shouldn't happen!
    The resolution of network problems found no problem, because the internet connection worked, but he had no problem with no network also appear or metro apps does not.
    This should be corrected, as it would be a great help in this scenario.
    TL; DR: Make sure you set your connection on the private sector, or windows becomes crazy and your metro applications do not work (and I also noticed that visual studio could not deploy projects in this scenario, but that's another story).
  • Windows 8 How can I get rid of the metro app?

    Happy new year. HD from my old computer crashed badly. Need a new laptop computer. It came with Windows 8. I never use the metro app. It's disgusting and useless and a real hassle to go around. How to remove this app from Windows 8? I'm serious. Thank you.   A.J.B.2nd

  • Metro Apps does not it gives me an error code 0 x 80070002.

    Well, I feel like I'm beating a dead horse, and I searched through these forums to find answers without end. Either find the thread dead and no patch or the latest comments in 2012 and 2013, so I thought that maybe I could have more luck if I just posted my own question and hope for a response.

    This morning, I noticed that none of my apps metro are working, mail, weather, sports, calendar, even the store. I tried some different suggestions I found on here and other sites as well, but nothing seems to work. Initially the apps were all simply not anything, I click on the tile and it would be as if I never clicked on it at all, they would not literally nothing. Now, I noticed that each one of the metro app tiles have a little x in the corner. I did not updates on my computer, I have not filed my OS, I'm still on windows 8, which is installed on my PC and I am not and will not be interested in 8.1. I installed it once when it was first offered for free and it completely destroyed my computer and had to restore everything to the factory and have lost everything.

    I've tried so far, corrections

    1 reset the app store - I was able to reset the cache by using the WSReset.exe and it does restore and restore the app store, so that the store works now but still nothing else.

    2 update apps have proven to be updated applications and he always tells me ' this application has not been installed - view details "when you click on details it give me the error code 0 x 80070002.

    3 uninstalled apps - try to reinstall I get the same error as above (0 x 80070002) code.

    4 app Troubleshooter-Ran this problems found.

    some security settings are missing or have changed, not fixed

    cache of Windows store may be damaged and not set

    Windows store the configuration may be damaged-detected

    5 sfc/scannow - ran this and it says he has found corrupt files but was unable to remedy.

    6 a dial-up user account Microsoft to account local, unmodified, changed to the Microsoft account, still no change.

    7. created new user account local and all seem to be ok, the apps wouldn't work correctly but for me it is not a miracle, doesn't help all my admin account.

    Sorry, it's become so long but I want to just make sure that anyone who can help has all the information they may need. I hope someone can help me with this.

    Hello

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community. Could you please answer the following questions so that I can help you better.

    1. do you use proxy connections to connect to the internet?
    2. do you get an error message?

    3. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    You may experience this problem if the applications or drivers of graphics cards are not updated. Follow the steps in troubleshooting of these methods and check if that helps:

    Method 1:
    You can see the link to download and run the Troubleshoot utility app on the computer that checks all the problems with Windows applications on the computer:

    Step 1:


    Run the troubleshooter of App

    Before I provide the steps for troubleshooting the app, I want you to know some basic information before running an application:

    > User account control settings need to be enabled.
    Note: User Account Control (UAC) notifies you before changes are made to your PC that requires administrator-level permission. By default, UAC is set to warn you as soon as apps try to make changes to your PC, but you can change how often UAC notifies you.
    > To align the apps, you need at least 1366 x 768 screen resolution.
    > Requires Microsoft account.

    Note: This utility automatically corrects some problems that may prevent your running applications, including the suboptimal screen resolution and security or incorrect account settings.

    Run the Troubleshooter of Apps. This tool can automatically identify and fix problems with the applications.

    Step 2: Please consult the following link for troubleshooting if the troubleshooter does not help:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/what-troubleshoot-problems-app

     

    Method 2: I suggest to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for video card and check.

    First, download the graphics card drivers on computer manufacturer website:

     

    1. Press the Windows key + X, and then select Device Manager.
    2. You can look for graphics cards and expand it.
    3. Right-click on the graphics card and choose uninstall.
    4. Install the downloaded drivers restart the computer and check.

    If not being able to find a driver for your device, see the website of the manufacturer of the device, or insert the CD-ROM supplied with the device, and then follow the instructions to install the software.

    I hope this helps. If you need help with Windows, let us know and will be happy to help you.

    Any idea on what could have caused this and how to fix it?

    System Restore creates a restore point "Undo" which allows you to cancel any act performed by the system restore.  In other words you can duck in time and if you don't like it you can return to the present.

    System Restore is a tool of recovery in the short term.  Dating two months in time isn't what it is so that a lot of work such as updates and settings not replaced and should be repeated.  She will play with happiness this task however.
