Hey guys, it's Doq. Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm doing a demonstration video of build 9901 for MDL, WinWorld, and McLeodGaming's Electronics section; but I can't get any Metro apps to start or Search to work. They just hang at the splash logo (or in the case of Search, the box just doesn't work). Any ideas why? Grazie!
Not to sound high and mighty but really if you can't get a leaked technical preview to run correctly SHOULD you really be doing a demonstration video? Just saying. I have not found any Metro Apps not to work for me and search works as well.
Had not yet finished my first cup of coffee this morning. I may not post much but have been here a long time, and just sometimes when I see posts like that I just cringe.
Odd. The Jukebox link was what I used. Although for some reason Metro apps are working now? This build is really odd. Search is still broke, so I may consider either a reinstall or an actual hardware install.
This helped out 100% for me, 1. Open the administrative Command Prompt and paste the following command there and hit Enter key: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\ImmersiveControlPanel\AppxManifest .xml from post #472 in this Thread
This is a great site to ask.. you always get help.. you do get one or two odd balls now and then.. just ignore and keep going..
I am glad the apps and every other thing finally work. Usually, you have to do a clean install for better experience of Windows Technical Previews.
Running 9901 in a VM is like...standing on a golf green during a raging thunderstorm with the metal pin marker in place in the cup, the rod firmly gripped in your hand...zzzzz-z-z-z-zap!....it's just going to be a matter of time... I've found 9879 to be much more stable--did a clean install to a dedicated partition and was surprised to see the whole thing wrap in about ~15 minutes...! Previously, I had installed 9879 as an upgrade right on top of 9860 and that took some 90 minutes--as it did initially when I upgraded an 8.1 install to 9860...Clean install is far superior in terms of the time required--and probably the results, too. Since we're dealing with beta releases and 9901 is not an official release (not to mention one I found exceptionally buggy, too), I'd highly recommend 9879 as that has performed very well and stable for me in all cases. Use 9879 instead...(Just my humble advice, of course.)
