    Resetting the metro ui to default


    Hey guys...
    I was messing around with the metro UI and was trying to organise it.
    Turns out i liked it the way it was when you first install windows 8.
    How do i get JUST the metro UI back to defult?

    Hi mailman11,
    Welcome to the forums, go to control panel, system & security, Action center, Recovery and click refresh. You may have to re-install the drivers and programs.

    Refresh Windows 8

    Didn't work :(


    My apps are still scrambled everywhere. I HATE the way the apps move around when you drag them to organise.
    Anyother way without having to install everything again?

    Hi mailman11,
    You could also wait for another 10 days and start afresh with the CP version.

    Thanks Shawn for adding the link.
