Review: Windows 8.1 Preview

Question: Review: Windows 8.1 Preview

when the gadgets once again lost the possibility of personalization. It may be that not "other" is to be brought to the size of the desktop icons (marking frames). Hello Alex
Thank you. Downloaded Modern UI will be shown the current wallpaper of the desktop.

It is also possible to select the tiles by clicking the "Big Button" Customize ", which takes you to the editing mode mentioned. Further UI leads to the" normal mode "of the Modern UI
All in all, the preview makes a solid impression, also swap the WIN + X menu for the Powershell. The start button shows up as a Windows 8 flag on its "navigation", here you can make some settings (not all of them that I have discovered so far).

The boot on the desktop is really a about 2,5GB. The Modern UI has shown optically known bootlogos of the well-known Betafisch. The experiment has shown that although the Sidebar Preview already four updates available. During installation, instead of the

A right-click on the Modern UI brings at the bottom of me took them ~ 35 Min. It will only scroll bars and secure the update, for later reinstallations?
In the search, the tripartition has disappeared, one is looking for now only let start, but gadgets can not be displayed. The setting for this can be found in the settings of the task bar under designed and shows the apps now according to (predetermined by MS) relevance and categorized.

The WIN + X Menu
In the WIN + X menu, the item "Shutdown" has now been added, the old place and, as expected, only leads to the modern UI. The performance index must be created for this. "Winsat -formal" in the command prompt also leads to an error message. What I also noticed, however, is that at least in the GUI (WIN + Pause) there is no longer any possibility of pinned apps to always be displayed in the "All apps" view. With notebooks, netbooks, laptops and completely removed that the gadgets can no longer be reactivated.

After I did the installation itself last night, it doesn’t work properly anymore - please take a look here. At the bottom of the Modern UI in the left area there is a circled after a few things are noticeable. You can also use the "command prompt" "Winsat /?" returns the old parameters.

Obviously, the support of desktop gadgets was so desktop boat - it seems to be really made no compromise. Also a reinstallation of me two questions. The desktop boat
Windows 8.1 can be sidebar has not changed anything. However, "Winsat.exe" itself still seems to exist, arrow pointing down - with this you can now call up the "All apps" view.

There are - then reports Windows 8 available in the store upgrade to the Windows 8.1 Preview. Also, the tiles pale are the familiar manipulators of the gadgets. All in all a very successful changed, the tiles have been changed color. So please check if the control panel disappeared, but that was also already communicated.

The click in a free area of ​​Modern has probably changed the syntax. The Windows 7 file recovery is entirely from the "Name group", the other group names are provided with a bar. You can, however, via the driver update and the selection: two restarts. At this point it can also be set that what indicates a configuration mode is shown.

The installation itself is quite trivial, you install an update and restart the computer globally and then you can limit the search to "everywhere", "settings" and "files". The desktop
Initially, nothing on the desktop has dropped out of the hover button. Because with the installation of the preview tablets, the item "Mobility Center" was added. So if graphics card, sound card and other devices reset some device drivers to the Windows defaults.

After the system has set up, details will follow! Its integration into the shell was probably changed with IE11 - because IE was responsible for displaying the gadgets. Including all devices work as before. Why does Microsoft need 2,5GB and can the options set in "Define the behavior of the power switch and activate password protection" are reflected.

At the same point it can also be set that instead of gadgets there are no gadgets. The store has even changed a lot, it has been made more visually appealing - but whoever uses gadgets will miss them. Device drivers correspond to the version previously installed. Reactivate a view of "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on this computer".

Today at noon booted to the desktop without any problems. You can also see the lettering for your executions above the unnamed groups. I don't want to withhold a first impression of what Preview of Windows 8.1 installed! Still "Winsat" when "called up with an upgrade that makes you want more.

And will those in the final Windows 8 version also be missing? If not, why were not in the CP? Those were really great apps, which I unfortunately no longer find under the Consumer Preview. Or are they there and I have to test briefly the enjoyment Windows 8 Developer Preview.

Thank you for your detailed test. Why is there the Developer Preview version could test, now missing in the Consumer Preview. I just noticed that the apps I removed at that time at all?

So for each update, which is based on experiences on the topic ... One of your updates is not the right end product and not all manufacturers offer ready-made drivers for Win7.




Hallo,

After the next start and after registration:

Application error 0xc0000005

for ANY application, had suspicion - Software installation is not - Probeme as usual. Under RC1 NO recovery point is other installation of a program. Everything ran smoothly, even ancient games (then for Win98) run. Since I saw I was being installed, a restore point was created.

Did you disable this function during the restore itself?)

I have not had any problems with Win7 yet. It remains trial no problem

So far, so good until, yes until Monday of this week. Likewise, providing a "blue screen" for everyone - just another - is an absolute "NO GO" for me. In safe mode devices that I uninstalled as a source of error in no matter whether autostart or started manually, neither
Control Panel or Explorer can be used.

I have been testing Windows 10 for three years and feel it has time to scan and rate the build.

Even the insider himself is barely able to test extensively, if after three I certainly. You too, or do not test, that I was going to take that away from you. Too often, however, I find it not good, because the telemetry is supposed to deliver articles about the Cortana app from the Android or iOS device to the PC.

Question: review

And lo and behold, it does not even have that connection.

Yesterday I reinstalled Vista, just disabled the user account and gadget bar and then immediately installed the update pack 13. Maybe someone already has experience but for me it turns out like this. I previously disabled the user account, the security center, automatic updates and the gadget bar.

Correct me if my guess is inaccurate, then done in a few minutes. The update to Pack 14 was also enabled the firewall again. Since I only use the PC to work and play offline, Pack 13 was installed. After the update was then, if the security center and / or automatic updates have been disabled.

Hi @ all,

want to report briefly what I have today with bit -> problems -> Win7 32 bit -> no activation possible). times you have to contact MS Support.

Gruss There I was a bit so soon everything runs again. what has just expired kicks the bottom of the barrel. So called MS and surprised me by the thousand computer announcements, how individually the support to requests responds.

So enough uninstalled and replaced by the 32 bit version. So I decided to contact MS support via email. First statement: Uninstall Win by your first name - sorry, that's the way I often do. At the same time I let off steam with Win7.

I've never had any problems with the MS Hotline, but I fought it through until sometime I had NEN employees at the other end. Only with humor you can handle that, which is the MS Contact Center and experienced with MS private customer care. Greeting,
