start menu

Starting this morning, my Windows 7 is opening most applications in Vim (Vim is my editor of choice). The following is an itemized list of this bizarre behavior. From Start menu, most applications display the Vim icon (screen shot below). From Start menu, most applications open in Vim...

Hi I'm going to take these issues on one at a time as I come to them. The first is that I found that none of my programs open from the all apps list unless I right click on them and select "Open as Administrator"? I only have one account on my computer, it's my Microsoft account and it's set...

Hi everyone, We have a new build for PCs releasing today to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring – Build 10130. As I mentioned with the last build, from here onward you are going to see a lot of tuning, tweaking, stabilizing, and polishing which means fewer big feature changes from build to build...

A new app? Maybe and for now a misterious one, click on it and it disappears from the startmenu - and that is the only thing I can do with it. And the directory windowsapp, I am unable to open it. Why? Henk

Hello, does anyone know if you can make a batch file to open the start menu with one key. Ever since I up graded to win 8.1 the win key stopped working Thx

People app and Music preview app not opening on this build is there any fixes out there yet? The people app opens then closes in about 2 seconds. the Music preview app dose nothing at all when clicked on. Tried un-pinning and re-pinning to start but just the same. If these apps don't work...

If you want a complete and unified modern UI for the next Windows pls. join to give the right feedback for Windows 10 in order to become the modern OS we wanted. Our main scope would be to assure that Microsoft understands we want to get an unified and complete modern looking UI, more...

I recently installed a fresh install of windows 8.1. I now want to eddit my start menu tiles. When I click on a tile i don't get any options to remove etc. (as seen in the screenshot) Is this a configuration problem or is it necessary to install windows again? thanks in advance

Hi Everyone, Today we have a new build for PCs going out to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring – Build 10122. I usually start these posts with the fun stuff at the top but want to call out our only big known Issue here right away – if you’re using an AMD GPU you’re likely to run into frequent...

Anyone else end up with a messed up Start Menu. I had to do a full shut down and then start up to get any visible tiles, and.... Now they all look a bit like they were create for a very old video game circa pre-PacMan.

Hi I have to say I'm pretty happy with the way that build 10074 is working. I haven't had issues with my sound and Cortana seems to be working pretty reliably. Some things don't load at startup or coming out of sleep mode some time. But there is one thing that's not, and that's the right...

I noticed some had a problem in the past with the start menu not working. I just had that problem and came across something that worked. It even got my Cortana to work after not having it respond at all. Just open up powershell and run as admin. Type in the command below: Get-AppXPackage...

Does anybody think MS has missed the point that it's no longer necessary to replace the OS or computer every 3 years? Since Windows 7 hardware has got much better and improvements are smaller. Back in the 90's hardware changed so fast that a 3 year old machine was a real dog. Unless you are a...

Today I realized that I couldn't open Settings/Change PC Settings (in Charm Bar). I also couldn't open the Store from the Start Menu app. Finally, when I tried to open an app on the Metro Start, it just went to my desktop. After much googling, I worked through the steps at this link...

I had recently updated my Windows 10 Build 9926 To Build 10041 in my computer. Every thing was going right. But sometime, my mouse acts crazy. My keyboard works, my mouse pointer moves but I cannot click any where. When I move/click on mouse, I got a crazy sound. Also the Win Key works, and my...

In this thread I ask what you guys think of Windows 10 so far. You do not have to answer all these. Do you like or hate hate it? Do you think it will succeed or fail? Sure the Start Menu is back, but do you hate that there are still metro tiles there? Link Removed What do you think of the...

I am running Windows 10 Technical Preview on my laptop currently on build 9926. Whenever I try to run Windows Update it either fails or installs the updates but I get BOSD System Thread Exception not handled in an infinite bootloop. I am able to run System Restore but it fails but it allows me...

Hi That's supposed to say Can't open Start Menu. I got some forced updates today, not to the new version of TP, and now I can't open the start menu, or type in the search windows on the Task Bar? I created a system image yesterday but I thought that I'd see if anyone has any experience with...

Hi everyone, I’m happy to announce we’re rolling out Build 10041 for PCs to the Fast ring. Like all of the previous preview builds this one comes with a collection of new functionality and bug fixes. The build will only be available through Windows Update for systems already running a previous...

I have found that there are some leaked screenshots of the next build of Windows 10. i have also found a video on YouTube about it. I have heard there will be a new interface with the installer. Some icons and UI elements were updated to. The icon next to "All Apps" in the is now three lines...
