Windows 8 'PC to change the settings' does not

Hello

PC settings in my windows 8 does not respond. When I click on the "Change PC settings" option, I just came to the start page. Some of the software also do not react. I tried troubleshooting that was of no use. It adds that the system restore option is also insensitive. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be really useful.

Thank you

When I click on the "Change PC settings" option, I just came to the start page.

Do you use a third-party AV?   If so, try uninstalling and using only Windows Defender (for a trial).

Otherwise, using ProcMon to see what your symptom means would be my best guess to go forward.

    Most, but not all emails that I receive that contains images come as 'slide show', and where the image should be, there is a blank box with a red x.  Is it possible in Windows Live Mail to change the settings for the images remain in the body of the email, not in a slide show?

  • Windows 8 crash, lost store and change pc settings does not open.

    I have an ASUS S400CA, bit Win8 64 runnings. I bought this laptop in February 3013, and have had significant problems since the first day.

    There have been regular broadcasts with the mode 'sleep', as when I put the laptop to sleep he would constantly show the error 'driver not less or equal to athw8x.sys' wake him up. The computer would also regularly hang and then crash without reason apparent under different levels of load on different surfaces. The temperature was not always high.
    An update of the system early in the piece alleviated problems, there were more accidents hang and error athw8x.sys became much less common, happening now at most once a day.
    Earlier, tonight when I woke up the laptop, it has frozen on a black screen. I was then forced to close (holding power button, because it should not take two minutes with something that is called "moment we ' installed by default) and restarted, it. Here, my trouble started; my lock screen had changed the picture. Don't think anything of him and got to the screen of the tile. I tried to open Chrome. I went to the office and realized that Chrome, apparently, no longer existed. I thought that was weird and then realized my office had no top file. I then worried and restarted, which caused the system analyze and correct readers. The returned files. However, Miss me now most of my windows, including Windows Store. I wanted to update the system, but the "change pc settings" button in my toolbar does not open. This composition, various applications such as my protection against the virus and Microsoft Office uninstalled themselves.
    Please, I need help. I can post any documentation that someone wants if they can tell me where to find, or more precisely what they want.

    Hi Mitchell,

    This problem may occur because of file system corrupted or because of the conflict between certain third-party applications.

    You did any hardware or software changes on the computer before this problem?

    Method 1:
    I suggest you run the SFC (System File Checker) and check if it helps.

    a. open Windows Explorer.
    b. press Windows + X key , and then click command prompt (Admin).
    c. type the command: sfc/scannow , and then press enter.
    d. restart the computer and check.


    Method 2:

    If the problem persists, I suggest you to check whether or not you are facing the same problem in Mode without failure. If the problem does not occur in Mode without failure, you can configure the computer to boot and check if it helps.

    Step 1:
    I suggest to return the item and start the computer in Mode safe. Check if it helps.

    Start settings for Windows (including safe mode)
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/Windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode

    Step 2:
    If the problem does not occur in Mode safe run clean boot and check.

    By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.


    How to perform a clean boot for a problem in Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8

    Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow the "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" section in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  • Windows live mail send error "the server does not support an SSL connection. Server error 250.

    Original title: Windows live mail error send

    Cannot send mail to Windows Live Mail.  Error message... The server does not support an SSL connection. Server error 250. Server - * address email is removed from the privacy *. Windows Live Mail error ID - 0x800CCC7D. SMTP Protocol.  Port 25.

    It's better, thank you. This message is not from the BT Server; It comes from your Avast antivirus which is intercepting your mail. You would be well advised to turn off the Avast Mail shield; It does not add any additional security if you don't by attention elsewhere, and can cause problems.

    I see that it is the record of mail in bulk that because of the problems in this case. Connect to the Web e-mail account and clear the items junk and deleted records.

    BT is recommended to use SSL, but your original question indicated that SSL was not taken in charge for SMTP on port 25. I think we'd better go on all your settings. Recommendations of BT are on this page: BT email: what are the settings for outgoing and incoming mail servers?, but they only work if you disable Avast scanning mail.

    Right-click on the account name in the folders pane, and then select Properties.

    • Under the servers tab, make sure that my server requires authentication is selected.
      Select connect with authentication in clear text.
    • On the Advanced tab, select this server requires a secure connection (SSL) for both servers.
      Make sure that the incoming (IMAP) port is 993 and port for outgoing (SMTP) is 465.

    When you've made all these changes, close Windows Live mail and wait five minutes for the program do its cleaning and save the modified settings. Then, restart the computer and make sure that the Mail of Avast shield is always off.

    Launch Windows Live Mail, then dial a new test message and send it to yourself. Post a new message in your response.

  • Windows 8 - horizontal scroll on the mouse does not

    Hello, everyone,

    I have a system running 64-bit Windows 8. My Gigabyte M6980 mouse has a wheel tilt with a capacity to reach not only up and down but also left and right. However, the inclination of the wheel does not record in my Win8 machine.

    I plugged the mouse on a Vista laptop where initially the system has not yet recognized the mouse at all (the cursor is not mobile). After going to the Manager of devices and update the driver for the "unknown device" which was M6980, it became a "HID-compatible mouse. I could then move the cursor AND use the horizontal scrolling. On a Windows 7 computer, the mouse was recognized immediately and I could use horizontal scrolling very well.

    I tried to copy mouclass.sys of my laptop Vista and mouhid.sys to C:/Windows/System32/drivers on my machine Windows 8, but then the mouse could not be recognized at all the original files should be restored. The same thing happened when I copied the same files from a Windows 7 machine.

    Gigabyte support response is that the mouse does not officially support Windows 8 and all the features are not guaranteed. There are no drivers available for the device and the only software that comes with it is motor Ghost of Gigabyte for remapping keys. But given that horizontal scrolling works in Windows 7 without any additional software, I suspect driver Windows 8 HID is involved, although I could well be wrong. I couldn't Google solutions. Any help would be appreciated.

    See you soon,.
    Jesse

    Hi ShiuabKhan,

    Thanks for a quick reply. Windows 8 is now picking up the thin horizontal scrolling messages. I tried to randomly check the software option Gigabyte 'disable horizontal scrolling' and apply changes and then uncheck the new, and, curiously, it started working. However, I install the latest version of the software from Gigabyte (which just happened to be released February 1) in compatibility mode to be on the safe side.

    Although the system is now picking up messages from horizontal scrolling of the mouse, my Battlefield 3 game won't recognize them, but is not a Windows problem, so I'll find an answer elsewhere.

    Thank you much for the help!

    See you soon,.

  • installed the latest updates of windows 7... now the computer does not recognize my video files avi... says "format not supported".

    I have installed the latest updates (02/27/10) and when I open sony vegas to edit some files avi... they were offline... when I tried to read with windows media player it says format not supported... before when I played these files, they would not have to synchronize audio... it never happened with my other computer with Vista... system restore solved the problem of format not supported... but so far has caused this problem? and what about the problems of synchronization? the files seem to sync when played with the hp program...

    Hi derlonewolf,
     
    Because you performed a System Restore you would not be able to determine which update problem from occurring. You will have to wait for the update to your computer to determine the update that caused the problem. The update does not necessarily cause the problem to occur again. However, you can view the history of updates to updating history.
     
    1. open the control panel (all items view), and click the Windows Update icon.
     
    2. click on the link to view update history.
     
    3. to view the details of a single Windows Update-
     
    (A) select and right-click on a Windows Update list, and then click details.
     
    (B) click on close when finished.
     
    As far as the question of timing is concerened, you can scan SFC on your computer and check if the problem persists.

    Steps to perform a scan SFC:
     
    1. Click Start, click principally made programs, accessories, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow
     
    2. type the following command and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow
    [The command sfc /scannow. analysis of all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.]
     
    A message appears indicating that "the system scan will start. Be patient, because the analysis may take some time
     
    3. If all the files require that a SFC replace will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Win7 DVD for this process to continue
     
    4. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.
     
    5. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.
     
    Check the link below for further guidance on scan SFC - mentioned
     
    You can also make manual updates instead of automatic updates and then see what are updates will be installed on the computer.

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    You can go to start-> click on all programs-> select start. You can find all the programs that run at startup, here. Deleting will stop them from running at startup.
    You can also open the System Configuration to disable all programs running during startup. Go to start-> type msconfig.exe-> press ENTER. IF UAC prompts, click Yes. Opens the System Configuration window. Now go to the Startup tab and disable all applications (to remove the tick) you want to stop from running at startup. Click on apply and then OK. Restart the PC, once done.
  • The icons of Windows 8 in endangered and the taskbar does not

    I bought a HP with Windows 8 p7-1587cdPC desktop computer is installed.  I noticed that the desktop icons disappear when the pc would go to sleep.  The to-do bar displays icons, and when I go, it shows in a little window that the page should be, but don't develop open to display the screen.

    I tried right click and selection and deselection of to display icons on the desktop, but it does not work.

    I tried to do a right click on the start menu that appears on the lower left to the sfc scan, but when I click on the (Admin) command, there is a sound notification, and my screen fades and does nothing.  I must leave to return to the desktop.

    On the start menu, I'm able to get on the internet, but none of the programs installed on my pc will open.

    Also, I tried to return my pc in case there was a flaw.  I replaced with a brand new and have the same problems (sorry Costco).

    The only thing that worked is if I stop every time I'm done working, as long as I don't let it go to sleep.  Help!

    Hi Qudico,

    Thanks for posting the query on Microsoft Community and we are pleased to help you on this question.

    According to the description of the problem, you are unable to open the icons on the taskbar and access programs installed on the computer of the start screen.

    You may need to check if the drivers on the computer are up-to-date.

    Given that this problem occurred in a new computer, I suggest you to contact HP to update drivers currently installed on the computer.

    Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Hope that helps.

    Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have other questions related to Windows and we would be happy to help you.
