Window tile 8 is frozen, unresponsive.

I have install Win8 on my laptop last Saturday, and until today, everything was fine.  I woke up the computer this morning to find a screen empty and so I did a hard reboot.  Windows starts up quickly, but when I go to the splash screen or accounts of woman my, the tiles are frozen and unresponsive.  (I tried shutting down and scoring several times, always with the same result).  I can see the Directory users on my home network, is not a problem with my wireless connection.  I see a bit of the hard disk activity.  My mouse works fine.  When I ctrl-alt-del, I have the option of bringing the Task Manager, but it does not appear when I try.

Let me add that the keyboard shortcuts Win + C is not show bar charms, Win + I in the same way does not work, but this victory by itself causes a visible refreshment at the start screen, without however to solve my problem.

Any ideas?  I searched but did not find anyone with enough of this problem.

I'd be willing to do a clean install, but I don't have any media, just my product key.  I could do a clean install of Windows 7, but I don't know how to do the upgrade from there without having to pay for Win8 again, I refuse to do.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help,

John

Good new! I write from my computer thawed! After posting last night I tried some diagnostics and restorations. Not sure what ended by freeing the tiles, but I'll give you a brief overview because it really wasn't too difficult.

My biggest problem at first was trying to figure out how to start in safe mode. Good Ol ' F8 just has not been cut. After a search on my phone for a response, I read that you can force the computer to load the new zone of Win8 now SHIFT Boot Options while clicking Restart in Power Options.

Once I started it I ran a few built in diagnosis has absolutely nothing. Then I went into Options Advanced and also tried the new point Win8 (auto repair) assistance, but who found nothing more. Then I was the restoration of the standard system. Only 1 point then found I had to use it. (NOTE: I don't always have to use the new options to refresh or reset your PC)

When the computer is restarted, and I logged on the tiles were frozen once again however I noticed one of them - AccuWeather app - a changed status, is no longer displaying an image & temp. There are days. Of course, the computer was still unusable. Progress? I'm not sure. Not much had changed in days perhaps this slightly modified tile help?

Once more, I rebooted with MAJ & to enter the Boot Options menu. From there I went into start parameters & had the shoe comp. mode without failure. When he did, I had real job tiles! Of course, I didn't use the machine Mode safe in permanence so unsolved problem.

I tried to search in the charms (Win + C)-> settings-> box to change the settings of PC for any help or solutions. Nothing jumped & the computer wouldn't let me edit/edit all because of Safe Mode boot.

However, a domain, I could change was "Lock screen apps" (Customize). There (as well as the under - 'choose an application to display detailed status'), I had added AccuWeather. I swapped out for the weather app integrated instead. Try anything, right?

I left the Safe Mode & restarted the regular operating system... and the tiles have worked! The Office was indeed shortcuts! I could access the Task Manager!

So here I am.

No idea if it was the combination of the system restore & AccuWeather removal from the lock screen or just the latter, but for the first time in 5 days I'm able to use my Win8 desktop computer.

Hope this will be useful in any way to you. Maybe this isn't a problem with the AccuWeather app, but something with the lock screen? No idea really.

Good luck!

Great, I thought a great way to have multiple documents open, yet easily accessible. BUT WAIT!  Part of my workflow is open several documents to combine, edit, and share pages between different PDF files. I do this by displaying two or more files together on the screen at the same time using the menu command: "window > tile > vertically '." I would then have several PDF files in view and selecting 'Organization pages' I can "drag-n-drop" pages between each file. With this latest version of the 'tabs' do not allow this command menu to work at all! Adobe destroy you my workflow smooth only once.

    Not sure how I can get this back to the way it was none other than: drag each file in a new document, one at a time until they are separated, then use the 'Tile' menu command and it should work now.

  • Windows tiles

    I recently bought a new computer HP Envy laptop and improved Windows 8 on wi ndows 8.1.  Recently my "shop".

    Tile used the french language and French ads.  Why?   I also received a message from Microsoft to save my laptop in France.  I already have it registered in the United Kingdom.  Why this is happening and how can I change the language in "Shop".

    back to English?

    You can abandon this tile and create a new using the details of the UK Microsoft store.  Check the display language. It seems as if it may have been inadvertently changed to UK English to French.

  • Windows Live Essentials is frozen during installation @ 75%. Live Update is not available. How do I fix this?

    Windows Live Essentials 2011 has begun the process of update/install.  This part of the computer is just stopped or frozen to 75%.  It has been like this for days, while I searched for a way to stop or remedy the situation.  You can't just click on stop, it won't do anything.  Forgive me for being a novice.

    When this "freeze" occurs, use the ALT + TAB key combination to cycle through open windows and see if there is a "hidden" window ask you a question about Windows Live Essentials 2011 (for example, you want to install all applications or only some?).

This same application is based on my computer more? I recorded it, but I don't really want to start more can I do?

    Hey Elaine,.

    I suggest that you put your computer in a clean boot state and check if there is another program that is causing the Windows Movie Maker to freeze.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    Note: Once the diagnosis has been made, put the computer in normal condition by following the steps in "steps to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state."

    If there is no specific program that causes this problem, then please uncheck the program since the start of the System Configuration utility.

    Also, check the event logs viewer for any errors of follow-up when the Windows Movie Maker crashes.

  • Aspire One D255E, Intel Atom, Windows 7 Starter: Slow and unresponsive

    All,

    I work on this Netbook for my parents.

    It has been used VERY little since.

    has all updates installed,

    There is NO program installed outside the factory except for MS Security Essentials and Maliwarebytes programs.

    That said, it is VERY SLOW and sometimes UNRESPONSIVE to keyboard shortcuts.  I know that this is not a high level of PC, but can I do to speed it up if we can search, eBay, Facebook and other sites.  No hard calculations are required, just basic of simple functions.  It's just to slow down now and basically no one will use them.

    Thank you.
