  • Windows store does not open (windows 8)

    So I've recently refreshed my laptop running Windows 8.1 and after refresh, he returned to windows 8. But now all gone metro apps and windows store does not open. When I click it, nothing happens.

    I tried various fixes, nothing worked! Help, please! My main concern is to upgrade to windows 10!  Right now I'm stuck with windows 8

    IM using the HP envy m6 laptop.

    Hi Alain,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    When you do a Refresh: Applications that you have installed Web sites and DVD is deleted. The applications provided with your PC and applications that you have installed in the Windows store will be resettled. Windows puts a list of apps removed on your desktop after you refresh your PC.

    Because you want to upgrade to Windows 10, first, you need to update to Windows 8.1 of Windows 8 and then you can switch to Windows 10 Windows 8.1.

    Please refer to: Update Windows 8.1 of Windows 8

    Once you have updated Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows, please see the following article in order to upgrade to Windows 10 Windows 8.1.

  • Windows 8 tiles not opening

    I tried everything above except for run "CMD" because when I right click I don't have the ability to run as an administrator. Still can not solve the problem.

    The problem with their directions is that it takes you to the Office window for running the CMD prompt which does not give you the "Run as Administrator" option.  You must go through the side of the metro.  Click on Windows + C to open the charms on the right panel and select "search".  In research applications, type "cmd" and then when you see "Command Prompt" in the list box on the left, right-click on it and select 'Run as administrator' at the bottom of the screen.  You then use the sfc/scannow.

    This is the second time I went through not having this problem... and I got this machine Win 8 only about 1.5 years.  The first tiles stopped working and I couldn't go to the store to update the applications or to update to 8.1... nothing else in Windows has been updated either.  After trying all the tips that I could find that I had to just erase it and restored to the original and start again at ground zero... she sucked!  I didn't go far to 8,1 because I was worried about restore points would not work... now, it seems that I have to go through the process of finding a solution again.  I had hoped they would have solved this problem now.

  • After installing the Windows SP3 does not open.

    I have a laptop Sony Vio running Windows XP Home Edition. Last week I tried to update from SP2 to SP3. After about 2 hours, it was at the point of file cleanup. After a time to shout a message came uo 'Please Wait'. I waited all night, and the message was always there in the morning. I restarted the computer and now Windows wilol is not open. He turns the splash screen and then the screen turns blank ever opening in the icon screen. When I try to start safe mode it runs a number of lines if information and where he had reached the end of one line info nothing happens. I tried to boot in a security 3 with the same resunts mode. Tried running in the final Condition to work with the same results - Windows startup screen runs then screen turns white and screen icon never opens. I have makes the system, Application and Driver Recovery CD. That SP3 could have done to create this condition? No idea how to fix ths situation without losing me any files - images Woed docs etc.? Any help would be greatly appreicated.

    At this point, your main goal should be to backup all your files from user data that you can from your [no bootable] machine.  I find that a good way to do it is to this is to use another machine to create free Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or Ubuntu (if you use Ubuntu, do not install but use instead "Try Me").  You do this by downloading an .iso file and then use the "burn image" of your program of CD burning to create the bootable CD/DVD.  You can now start your laptop from this CD and Linux will allow that access you your hard disk without disturbing anything on this subject.  You can then copy off and back up your data on a USB stick or a network drive files.

    Once your files are safely backed up, you can then reinstall Windows using the recovery disks you have.

    Knoppix: http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html>
    Ubuntu: <> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download >

    Recovery CD Windows are also a possibility but more effort involved to create the CD.  Such a disc is "BartPE".

    The only other thing I can suggest is to back up and then delete the following registry keys:

    I start with the first and then see if it works.  If this isn't the case, then delete them both.

  • Windows 7 does not open the windows in the taskbar. The content seems to be displayed off the screen

    Windows 7 does not open the windows in the taskbar. The content seems to be displayed off the screen. It started after the uninstall of Registry Mechanic and PC Tools, but this cannot be bound. IE 9 seems to be particularly affected. So do not display all of the windows that show on the taskbar.

    Use the Windows logo key & left arrow several times for each windows application through their positions until they appear on the screen.

    This problem is normally reported after someone used an external monitor as the applications try to open in the same position they had when they were last open - so if there was an external monitor last time now disconnected, they will try to open it in the middle of nowhere.

    I know not, or the other tools that you mention, but if they are registry cleaners then they could also affect other parts of your system.

    2. Drag from the right edge of the screen, and then click settings.

    3. Click App updates.

    Update for July 29:

    Last night I had a few Windows updates are available, rather than wait for them to do it automatically, I went ahead and updated manually. After that I restarted my computer, I don't always have the windows 10 application. So, I went to page Windows 10 questions of Microsoft, but this time I found this link:

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/3081048

    Or possible causes wear on me, so I went the resolutions.

    I ran the store and it says Windows is not put on day or something like that. I thought, YES IT IS.

    I have version 8.1 of Windows running update.

    Resolution 2: I have Windows Update set to automatic. As I said, I had a few available and had already updated by this point. So, I did the command line and he ran as administrator. All three of the orders him to run to 8.1 are back with the packed and the text string.

    I restarted my computer and still no app Windows 10. It's not the like 01:15 and I told myself to forget it. Then I remembered that a lot of releases for a lot of things are not held until 02:00 central time for me because it's at midnight, Pacific time. So, I decided to simply shut down my computer and let it until today.

    Low and behold, I turn my computer and still no app Windows 10. Randomly, I decided to check to see if iTunes was updated because I had just updated iTunes on my mother's computer. Having said that I have the latest version of iTunes, I closed it. I open HP Support Assistant to see if there were several Windows updates or other notifications. As I do, I see the app Windows 10 APPEAR in the lower right.

    I'm just happy that he has appeared because the Microsoft Compatibility test thing said that they did not test my product to see if it was compatible.

    Anyway, I don't know if it was the after midnight Pacific Time and combination of the new features of Windows available to me, but that's what happened.

  • Windows store does not open in Windows 8

    This may sound silly, but the original user that I had for my laptop has been removed. It was an accident, fortunately the other was an administrator. Anyway, everything was basically as except the apps are not installed, I tried the video application from the store back, so I clicked on the store and it crashed. I went on other questions about this problem and did the wsreset thing, and he said: ms-windows-store: PurgeCaches

    Is there any way to solve this problem? I don't think I can reset it because I didn't drive come with the laptop, unless I can use a USB key to do so.

    I found this on a thread for 8.1 - same problem - I'm not on 8.1 as I STORE THE COULD NOT OPEN (DUH), but I tried and IT WORKED.

    run the following in a command of re window - save the app Store:

    PowerShell - ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage - registry DisableDevelopmentMode-$Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml
    Not a single "Windows expert" posted this on any of the threads that I researched for months.
