Windows 8 "Refresh Your PC" is, is possible to fully restore? How?
Windows 8 feature 'Refresh Your PC', that will repair Windows to the default settings. It will remove all earlier updates installed, the programs installed. But does not affect personal files. Windows keeps copies of previous Windows, program files, directories users under the Windows.old folder (it will remove Windows automatically after 28 days).
Using the troubleshooter of records to retrieve. We can restore these affects the refresh files.
My sister accidentally executed refresh, Windows removes everything that has installed the programs & updates. Troubleshoot utility will not help. I have these programs inside the Windows.old folder.
My question is is it possible of entire back "refresh the process" of restoration? I have need of all these updates installed previously & programs. How to do this?

Unless you had a system image backup is not possible to roll back the update. The programs will need to be reinstalled.

Hello
The update option in the settings of PC mentions that you can save your personal files, it does not mention programs and applications.
The first screen you see when you select the refresh option is as follows.
You will need to reinstall all of the programs deleted.
For the question of multi-geste, contact Samsung support to download the latest driver for this component.

Hi Matt
I found very interesting Toshiba technical support document in the Knowledge Base, and I think it might be useful to you.
Windows Recovery 8 & repair
APS2. Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htmThe 'Refresh' option is primarily a repair technique. It is a good method to return your PC to a known good state while preserving your files and a large part of your configuration. With the option "Refresh your PC", accounts of users, data files and some settings are retained on your PC without the need to create a backup or make choices about what to keep or delete.
This means that the data should not be affected by using the update your PC option.

stuck on "refreshing your media".
Hi, I just got this yesterday and have had a lot of trouble with it, the software does not install correctly, the device is not recognized. It get stuck on the scene "refreshing your media" - I made a couple of soft resets. but it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone help with this?
How long took you? It may only appear to be frozen (the progress bar isn't really evolve for as long as it takes to finish properly). What may cause it to take a long time: a large number of files and/or folders, files corrupted and botched the ID3 tags.
More on tags: when he says "refreshing your media", she does really built a database of all the information contained in the tags (title, artist, album, track number, etc.). The player can choke on messy tags, especially very long comments. For some reason, some people try to put the history of the artist (or some other ridiculously verbose nonsense) in the "Comment" tag The best thing to do is to use a program like MP3Tag (highly recommended and FREE) to clean up tags, deleting the comments and stripping other tags to only the essentials. Any tag editor you use, change the settings to save tags to ID3 v2.3 ISO 8859-1 format, if possible. This format is more compatible with Sansas.
If your labels are clean and it still freezes, you probably have a corrupt file. To make it easier to isolate the problem, or the files, format the drive (settings > Control Panel menu) and start reloading your files in smaller batches until it crashes again.

You can also try technical assistance tohttp://mail.google.com/support/. It is a GMail problem, not a problem of Vista. If you use an e-mail program rather than online access, then it is possible that the e-mail program settings are incorrect. We do not know these settings but people to GMail.

WITH REGARD TO THE HOTMAIL ACCOUNT
I've had problems with my account main hotmail for several weeks now. Since two days ago, it keeps giving me this error message: ' we have updated Hotmail, so, please refresh your browser or close and sign in again. " If you are trying to write a message, make sure that save you it as a draft". The error message all the time, and now I can only open, reply and send messages when my account main hotmail is not having a hissing fit. I know this isn't my browser is because my old secondary hotmail account works great - NONE of these problems manifest with my secondary hotmail account more old.
Other reasons why I suspect that there is a problem with this account:
(1) my Outlook send and download messages from my older secondary hotmail account, but not the primary. The main account is the same one that keeps giving me the error message above. This is clearly a problem of HOTMAIL, not my browser or my computer. I lost ALL my emails stored on the account main hotmail when it leaves working in Outlook. Am upset and ready to move to gmail.
(2) Outlook is able to download messages through spring 2010 of my main hotmail account. It only syncs not with the account main hotmail, although he'll send occasionally this account.
If there is a solution, please please let me know.

Windows 8 "Refresh" removed applications
Why Windows 8 'Refresh' did you remove about 30 applcations from my PC? Outlook disappeared, like Word and Excel. I did an upgrade to 7 on one of my PC and the new system was not working long enough to create a 'restore '.
Hi Rodgerr,
I imagine how it could be frustrating when most of the applications have been deleted on the computer.
Since then, you have updated the PC; all installed applications will be deleted.
The applications that came with your PC or you installed on Windows Store will be reinstalled, but all the apps you have installed other Web sites and DVD is deleted. You will find a list of applications on your desktop after you refresh your PC.
Reference: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc
I recommend you to reinstall all applications on windows 8 for work.
Let us know the status.

Windows 8 - Refresh PC pre-installed Windows key recovery or installation DVD disc
Windows 8 - Refresh PC pre-installed Windows key recovery or installation DVD disc
The problem is that the number of keys for Windows 8 is required for this operation, and I can't get it. I got Windows8 pre-installed when I bought the laptop, so I don't have the installation DVD, I did not collect the number of keys in any documentation or found on the laptop.
What can I do to make sure that if I can restore Windows 8 and all my data on the laptop?
Thanks for your help
To put it bluntly, YOU n 'T NEED a KEY! When you reinstall Windows 8, it is automatically activated from your key incorporated in the Bios. There is no need for to go you into the Bios to get the key. With Windows 8, it is how it is done. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

Hey Sajjad,
I understand that you cannot update your computer Windows 8.
1. did you of recent changes to the computer?
2. Why are you trying to refresh Windows 8?
I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below and check if it helps.Method 1:
I suggest to disable all external devices except the mouse and keyboard and try to refresh.Method 2:
Use the check disk command for all errors on the hard drive.
Warning: We recommend not to interrupt the CHKDSK process. Microsoft does not guarantee the integrity of the disk if the CHKDSK program is interrupted. Security, you can back up your data before using check disk drive.
Use the drive control as follows:
a. press the Windows key + X, and then choose command prompt (Admin) on the shortcut menu.
(b) in the search box type 'cmd' and ENTER. Right click and select "Run as Administrator".
c. type at the prompt in the command CHKDSK/p and press ENTER to scan the drive.
d. type CHKDSK C: /F /R and press ENTER to repair corrupt sectors, if there are.NOTE: The root drive must be C: and drive can schedule a task to start the system, if this is the case, press on is to schedule a task, and then restart the computer to run chkdsk.
When chkdsk is finished, boot up to the desktop, and then check.Important: When running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area so all available data on this risk to be lost
