    Hyper-V Manager is incompatible

    I hope Microsoft will fix that ; ) with the final release.

    this means that all those people having issues is bcoz of VT(virtualization technology) not present in their Motherboards ???

    Processor should also have Virtualization Technology in it, is this necessary??

    Go to C:/Windows/System32
    Take Ownership from uxtheme.dll and shsxs.dll
    Rename uxtheme.dll to uxtheme.dll.original
    and shsxs.dll to shsxs.dll.original

    Replace with downloaded uxtheme.dll and shsxs.dll

    Only Processor should have Virtualization Technology (Intel CPU with VT-x), cos my Motherboard is Mobile Intel® PM45 Express Chipset +ICH9M and my CPU don't have VT-x (look at my attached file), but in this Motherboard i can put newer CPU (with VT-x)... So only CPU should have virtualization technology, not motherboard :) Virtualizations depends only from CPU's not from Motherboards...

    click on the immersive startmenu/settings/power and choose shutdown
    options you get:
    start-settings.jpg menu-shutdown.jpg powermenu.jpg



































































    two nice options for your explorer, adds "copy to ... + move to ...":

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]
    
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}] 
    
    
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]
    
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}]

    goto C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Immersive Application Shortcuts\ and create a folder named shutdown, create a usual shortcut (.lnk) named shutdown with target

    C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /full /t 0

    Then you'll find links in the immersive pad!

    Code:
    %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Immersive Application Shortcuts

    Shutdown and Restart shortcut

    Download the shortcuts

    Replace **** by http

    Download: ****://uploading.com/files/9914ef16/Restart.zip/

    Shortcuts.JPG

    See if you can view the " Hidden Folders " in explorer

    Copy the 2 shortcuts to C:/Program Data/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs

    Now you should see a Restart and Shutdown button in the MetroUI

    Have a nice day :cool:
