I thought it would be really good idea to collect all bugs in just 1 thread, so that users, who might use the CP for the first time see, what doesn't work very well. How to post here a bug: 1. Name the Windows feature or WinStore app 2. Describe the bug 3. If you have a solution for fixing it, than write it too.
Peculiar problem with WCP Some tabs description is in some chineese or something others are normal in english
1. Some apps close themselves 2. Windows Aero Lite them goes black when going into certain folders. 3. Signing out takes ages and never does the job, force shut down is required.
1. Google Chrome 2. When opening google chrome the screen goes black for a second and then come back to normal 3. No solution yet..
1. NET Framework 4.5 programs won't run in Windows 8 in old PCs 2. Old CPU's without SSE2 instructions (Athlon XP, Pentium III) will run Windows 8 but won't run Metro apps as Net 4.5 libraries have this requirement and now are part of the os and used for running some metro Apps. Only IE10 Metro works because is probably made in C++ native. 3. The NET Framework team know the problem but probably won't fix it.
1. Mousepointer randomly does not "load" when booting WCP. Only a restart will fix it. 2. Solitaire lags like hell. Pinball don't. Kind of strange, don't you think?
1. metro Windows settings 2. When I click on metro settings and then more PC settings nothing happends. It seems to doesn't work anymore since I installed lastest windows updates 3. ? EDIT: Fixed. To repair this use sfc /SCANNOW in command prompt when you open it as an administrator
1. Start menu 2. It's missing and the group policy setting to "Force classic start menu" doesn't work 3. Use a real desktop OS e.g. Windows 7 I'm being slightly sarcastic, but really, why give the group policy setting that does nothing? Make sure it works in the final version Microsoft.
1. The explorer maximize bug still present (you see a flash of back) 2. Go to C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files ... the ribbon disappeared and the top navigation bar become black.
1. Screensaver 2. When using any screensaver you click the screen and then screensaver crashes and a message is shown(same like in WDP). 3. No solution yet
When logging into windows 8 consumer version using my 18 digit Windows live password and login (alpha & numeric) password (as admin), Windows tells me invalid password or invalid login. The only fix I could find was to change my Windows live password to less characters, ( I used 10 ) and After a reinstall all was fine.
system freeze and hangs when I play music and video from an external hard drive in the metro music or video player!! and it is ------ me off! I have to keep shutting down manually !!
First Install: 1. Login with my live id (it ends on gmail.com) does seem to have the effect that I can not open anything at all. I see the Metro UI, but nothing works. Second install using local account: 1 At the times the Windows 8 installation crashes hard. Nothing is logged in the Eventviewer. All I have a weird stripes across my screen. Updating every driver doesn't seem to fix this. Currently all drivers are installed and it still happens. No solution yet. Will keep digging.
