Repair Windows 8 Metro Apps

If there is some problem with any Windows 8 (Metro) apps, should they not be functioning properly. When you click on an app to open it, you find that it simply crashes and closes down, and you get to see the start screen again.

This time however, you will see a small ‘x’ sign on the bottom right side of the Tile, indicating that something is wrong with this particular app.

Click on it again. This time, it will display a This app can’t open message. To exit, you may click on Close. To repair it, you should click on the Go to the Windows Store link.
You will now see a message stating that This app needs to be repaired.
Clicking on Repair will repair the app. Effectively, the app is re-installed with all it default settings intact.
Once the app is repaired, you will see a notification in the top right side stating that the app was installed.
Now if you try to open the app, you will see that it opens properly.

Customize Windows 8 User Account Picture / Lock Screen

I installed Windows 8 Release Preview early to setup everything up, and it was not fully activated and only permanent trial. Then I got tired of not being able to customize anything so I found where Windows stores various images and here they are.

Tools: Download TakeOwnership.zip

User Account Picture:

1. Go to Drive C:

2. In the ribbon, go to "View" tab and choose "Options" > In the new windows go to "View" > choose to Show Hidden files

3. Back in the explorer, go to "C:\ProgramData" since it is not hidden anymore

4. Then go to folder Microsoft > User Account Pictures

5. The images you want to change are user.bmp, user.png, user-40.png, user-200.png (You may not see the .png or .bmp)

If you want to see each file extensions, go to Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Folder Options > View > Untick "Hide extensions for known file types"

Now in Photoshop ( or any other image editing software ) make 4 images of the image

you want using these settings:

user.bmp= .bmp, 480 x 480 pixel

user.png = .png , 480 x 480 pixel

user-40.png = .png , 40 x 40 pixel

user-200.png = .png , 200 x 200 pixel

Lock Screen :

This took me a while as it was harder then I thought.

1. Download and install the takeownership.reg script to registry (This will save you a lot of time and trouble)

2. Go to "C:\Windows\Web\Screen" and replace img 100 . jpg with the image you want (make sure you have the same name)

3. Go to "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\" and right click the "SystemData" folder and choose "Take Ownership" now you can enter the folder by pressing continue.

4. Now go to S - 1 - 5 - 18 > ReadOnly > LockScreen _Z and replace the image with the same image you replaced in step 2 , but remember to change your images file name to the one of the image your replacing .

For example in step 2 it was called " img100 "

and this one the same image is now called "LockScreen ___1920 _1080 " for me .

5. Now for the last one is in "C:\Windows\WinSxS\"

6. You will see tons of folders just use the search and search for 'img 100 " and when you find the correct image open the folder ( right click > open file location) and replace img100 with your lockscreen image ( once again make sure you keep the same file name so make sure your new lock screen says img 100 )

It seems like a lot to change the lock screen , but I had to change all of them to change that one setting.

Start Screen :

addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-change-windows-8-metro-start-menu-background-colors/

Look at the bottom of this post under, "Programs to do these process for you" , if you want a easier way.

Change Colors:

1 ) Hold windows key and press R ( Win + R )

2 ) Paste " C:\Windows\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe " - without quotes

3 ) Wait a second for it to popup and select your color

4 ) Alt + Tab out or just press Ctrl+ Shift + Esc to bring up Task Manager

5 ) Kill msoobe.exe ( it may be under Background Processes )

6 ) Restart explorer ( cmd ( or Win + R ) > taskill /im explorer.exe )

Programs to do these process for you :

I personally prefer to do manual edits, but I know some people do not or have a harder time so here are two programs I found that will help you change account picture and start screen. Then as a bonus it will also remove the activate watermarks.

Mirror: OnThreeSeas.rar

Note: It did change the color ( a simple registry edit) , but it failed to change the start screen for me.

"Error 1297 No Sound" in Windows 8

Details
After installing Windows 8 Release Preview, my client reports that his laptop don't have any sound on  Acer AspireOne Happy PAV70 speaker. But he can hear the sound using external headphones. So I configure out some solutions for this.

d. Select 'Hardware and Sound' from Troubleshooter Window.
e. Select 'Playing Audio' under Sound option.
f. Follow the onscreen instructions.

Solution #2

Follow the steps and then check if this fixes the issue.
a. Press 'Windows Key' + R
b. Type 'services.msc'   - without quotes and hit enter.
c. Navigate to 'Windows Audio services'. Right click on 'Local Service' and select 'Properties'
d. Under the Log on Tab, make sure Local Service is selected.
e. Now go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy
f. Expand Local Policies > User Rights Assignment
g. On the right pane, scroll to 'Create global objects' and verify if LOCAL SERVICE is listed under this user tight.
h. If not, double click and select Add User or Group and type in LOCAL SERVICE and click Ok.
i. Reboot and try again to start the Windows Audio Service from Services.

e. Restart the computer and then check if this fixes the issue.

Solution #4

This can be verified by run\services.msc and try to start override the services manually.

In run\services.msc, right click on the Windows Audio service, choose properties, on the Log On tab, select 'This account' and fill in 'Local Service' with the correct password.

Then, from run\regedit.exe, find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Audioserv, on the right hand side of the registry editor; find the key named 'RequiredPrivileges'. There should be 3 privileges required:

SeChangeNotifyPrivilege
SeImpersonatePrivilege
SeIncreaseWorkingSetPrivilege

From this page, these Privilege Constants are related to their respective User Right names:

SeChangeNotifyPrivilege -> Bypass traverse checking
SeImpersonatePrivilege -> Impersonate a client after authentication

Then, run secpol.msc, under SecuritySettings\LocalPolicies\User Right Assignment. Click on them and select Properties. On the Local Security Setting tab, if LOCAL SERVICE is not listed, click Add User or Group and add LOCAL SERVICE.
Ok and reboot.

Solution #5

You should have to use another audio services as backup.

If you have external speakers, connected them properly to PC and plugged in.

Is the sound device disabled?
a. On the desktop, right click the speaker icon on your taskbar, and then select Playback Devices.
b. Right click the empty space and select both Show Disconnected Devices and Show Disabled Devices.
c. If you see icons for your speakers and headphones now, right click the correct sound devices > Set as default device

a. Search for services.msc
b. Scroll through the list of services, right click Windows Audio, and then select Start
Check the following dependencies are started as well:
- Multimedia Class Scheduler
- Remote Procedure Call
- Windows Audio Endpoint Builder

Sound should be back. Hopefully :)

Enable Windows 8 Safe Mode

Unlike previous Windows versions, where one easily enable/disable Safe Mode and other Advance Boot options from System Configuration utility, also called msconfig tool, Windows 8 requires user to manually enable Safe Mode boot options using Boot Configuration Data (BCD) Edit command. For those who are not familiar with BCDEdit, it's a Windows tool written to store and define boot applications, as well as, boot application settings. The BCDEdit store handles Windows OS Boot.ini file by providing it with system and user specified boot applications and their configurations.

Enabling Windows 8 Safe Mode option in Windows 8 Advance Boot Options menu:

1. On Start Screen, type cmd (Command Prompt). Now right-click Command Prompt tile, and select Run as administrator to launch CMD utility with administrative privileges.

2. Now enter the BCDEdit command:
bcdedit /enum /v

3. The command shows you numerous attributes and settings for both Windows Boot Manager and Windows Boot Loader. From Windows Boot Loader section, note down the 'identifier' and 'description' text strings on a text editor (Notepad). Now enter the following command:

bcdedit /copy {identifier} /d "<description> (Safe Mode)"

for example: bcdedit /copy {c2c366eb-63af-11e1-a62e-ce439c6c783e} /d "Windows 8 Release Preview (Safe Mode)"

4. Once the entry is successfully copied, open charms bar using Windows-key+C hotkey combination and use Start Search to open msconfig.exe, or just move to Start Screen and start typing msconfig.exe to search it from Apps category. Now press Enter to open System Configuration utility.

5. Navigate to Boot tab, make sure that Safe Mode is selected, enable Safe boot and underneath Timeout, enable 'Make all boot settings permanent option'. Click Ok followed by Restart to reboot your system.

6. Before Windows starts loading, press F8 key to enter into Advanced Boot Options menu. Clicking Safe Mode will prepare your system to load into Safe Mode. After a reboot, it will take you directly to Safe Mode main screen.

ANOTHER WAY?

The trick is to hold the Shift button and mash the F8 key, this will sometimes boot you into the new advanced "recovery mode", where you can choose to see advanced repair options.

You will need to click on the Troubleshoot option > Advanced options > Windows Startup Settings options. Finally hit the Restart button.

Ta-da! Like magic, when your PC reboots you will be able to boot into Safe Mode from the familiar looking Advanced Boot Options screen.

Fix Net Framework programs not installing on Windows 8

Microsoft made the decision to not include older versions of the .Net Framework in the operating system by default (Net Framework 4.0). To be precise, Windows 8 won't support the Net Framework 3.5, 3.0 or 2.0.



Whenever you try and install a program in Windows 8 that requires one of the older framework versions, you'll be greeted by an error message:

• Windows 8 may notice that a program requires an older version of the framework and displays a prompt to install it. This requires an active Internet connection.
• The application itself may ship with an option to install the required framework.
• The installation can only be canceled and no framework is installed on the computer.

You can enable the .Net Framework 3.5, and with it version 2.0 and 3.0, in the Control Panel as well.
Press the Windows-key + R and enter control.exe. Open Windows Control Panel. Select Programs > Turn Windows features on or off.

Locate the .Net Framework 3.5 entry and check it to enable the framework on the operating system. Windows may prompt for a restart of the system before the newly installed versions of the framework become available.

PLAN B?
If you don't have Internet connection. What you need to have is Windows 8 .ISO (DVD image installation media) and open with WinRAR. In there, select 'sources' folder and extract to drive (C:\)

To install, you need to run the command prompt as administrator to elevated command:

Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:C:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess





Dual Boot Windows 8 RP

'Dual boot' means allow two operating systems to run independently on one PC, by installing each one on separate partitions on the same hard disk. Then, the desired operating system can be chosen each time the PC starts up. For example, dual boot Windows 8 with Windows Vista/7 in same computer.

If you have a Windows 7 PC but aren't sure you're ready to upgrade to Windows 8 yet, a dual-boot system might be a good way without having reformat your current OS or lose your last saved documents.

Start Screen Metro UI

--

Pre-requisites:
1) Windows 8 Release Preview ISO
2) Blank DVD-ROM/RW disc (4.75GB)
3) Hard drive free space

Phase 1: Create Partition

The initial step is to create a partition on your hard drive, a chunk of space that's reserved exclusively for Windows 8. You'll need at least 16GB, or 20GB if you're loading Windows 8 64-bit.
Give the OS plenty of breathing room: at least 30-40GB.

Use MiniTool Partition Wizard to create new partition. Select Move/Resize Partition under Operations and you can slide to side and left the free space as Unallocated space. After that, Format Partition on Unallocated Space as NTFS.

You can divide equally the hard disk (for example in 500GB hard disk, 250GB for Windows 7 and 250GB for Windows 8). Don't forget to Apply Changes. Your computer will be prompt to restart and begin partitioning operation, this might take a hour depend on the size of your hard disk.

Phase 2: Burn Windows 8 RP

Download official Windows 8 Release Preview ISO

Select specific type you want to install Windows 8 (I choose 64-bit (x64) for the best).
Once downloaded, verify your ISO/DVD images by comparing SHA1 Hash

If SHA1 dismatch, that's mean you would probably get error during installation.

Then, burn the ISO images into blank DVD disk using burner applications (Nero Burning ROM or Astroburn Lite). Use a suitable low speed around 4x - 8x to ensure proper burning of each file on the disc.

Phase 3: Install Windows 8 RP

1. Insert a bootable Windows 8 DVD you burned into your PC, then reboot it to begin Windows 8 installation.

Note: If your system bypasses the drive and boots straight into Windows 7, you may have to do some tinkering in the system BIOS. Press ESC to enter BIOS setup and boot into DVD disc.

2. During boot (on black screen), you are prompt to press any key to continue the installation. Follow the onscreen instructions, you'll need a product key to install Windows 8 Release Preview.
KEY:  TK8TP-9JN6P-7X7WW-RFFTV-B7QPF

3. Click Install Now to process. Choose Custom install not Upgrade, then select the new partition you created or you will overwrite your existing installation.

4. Finally, click Next to begin the installation process. This will take about 20 minutes, after which your system will boot Windows 8 and run you throught the usual initial-setup stuff. You can then personalise your StartScreen color, create username and save settings.

5. From now on, when you boot your PC you'll see a start-up menu that gives you a choice between Windows 7 and Windows 8. If you want Windows 7 to remain the go-to operating system, click Change defaults or choose other options while this menu is visible, then click Choose the default operating system.

Tips: You can manually do this after log on to your Windows 8. Press the Windows-key + R, enter msconfig.
On Boot tab, set Windows 8 as default, and you also can change timeout seconds for auto-selection during start-up. Apply and restart the configuration.

// Stay tuned!
