Hi ! Windows 8 consumer preview default services registry can someone give me? Of course, something that actually default, untouched system for?
Hey guys I love the WCP I think it's fast stable and nice looking! I like the Apps, thou they are in beta stage - but the idea is promising(games like cut the rope, mail, skydrive, reader) I must say when i first installed developer preview in october 2011 i didn't like metro - like a lot of people nowadays- but I changed my point of view. You can't go forward with comparing everything to windows xp or windows 7! What are your impressions?
I also thought it was very user friendly, but now im using it as my main system. It just works great imo.
has anybody else extracted install.wim to a VHD to only have it say 'winload.exe' Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file i tried it on my netbook only to find out i didnt have good enough resolution so tried it on my PC (new and the same VHD) and got the winload error how can i try to fix this?
I hope that MS wiil put some options in final product such as option to choose between metro and classic look. It will be great to see options during install: -use metro UI -use classic UI -mixed (for easy switching by default-putting cursor bottom left to show metro ui like it´s now) Leave Start button and menu which can be enabled in control panel or in add/remove Windows features. It´s to complicated even to shut down the computer.
Hi everyone! been using CP since Wednesday as my main OS and... after trying hard to get used to Metro I actually like it quite a bit! The only things I'm not liking is the fact you have to go through a million menus to shut the thing down but I'm finding the start screen works well if you are willing to set it up of course although I agree that MS should give I.T Admins the option to get that Start menu back for people who want it!!
I agree. When you click on the profile icon in the upper right corner, you have the option to sign out. I don't understand why they did not add "shutdown" as an option. Another option could be this: frogboy.joeuser.com/article/418946/Windows_8_Start_button_returns
for me win8 has potential but for now still too unfinished. i'll wait for RC, now i'm going back to 7
I am having problems with using the defragment tool, when I went to defrag my hard drive, it would not recognise it.
How is shutting down the pc complicated. Mouse to right corner, settings, power- shut down. If that is complicated then maybe you should not be using a pc. This has to be the most over dramatized aspect of Win8. Can we please stop with this nonsense.
LOL, the simplest and fastest way to shutdown is to press the machine's on/off switch once and let the OS handle the rest.
Where can we find the .dll files of the new metro like computer icon that Canouna had when he showed off 8220?
For the average Joe or Jane, you know the normal user, they way they have to shutdown a Windows 8 system is way to complicated. Microsoft should remove the option to power off from the settings menu in the Charm-bar and place it one level up.
i do not think 'bout it c'mon it's clear as crystal, but u have to configure it first......(mine default is hibernate...) and seems that if you shutdown with the hardware button, the OS is doing the standard shutdown, not the fastboot one Simply and clear is that MS had put the shutdown not easy to find, because 8 id designed for tablets and slates that have that button very easy to handle.... 8 very very buggy designed not for notebooks and desktops
You can have a local account and a Live ID for the Store and other Microsoft services - it was, in fact, the default with 7 and earlier. (The Consumer Preview still allows this.) The fun enjoying the Consumer Preview continues - so far, not a single incompatible application that I actually need except one - Amazon Kindle e-reader software for Windows will not import unencrypted MOBI-format e-books when installed on a clean WCP setup; oddly enough, when installed in Windows 7, which is then upgraded to the WCP, such an import works fine. (Workaround - Install Calibre e-library software for Windows.) Other non-Metro software (including games) works just fine - if not better than Windows 7. I still have exactly zero reason to re-hire Windows 7 as main or host OS - therefore, Windows 7 remains demoted to pancake-with-syrup duty in VMs.
