For the past few days my hot keys have disappeared. I haven't changed any settings or installed anything. How do I get them back?

If I have several word docs and excel files open my desktop gets littered with temp file icons. Is there a way to hide these? Using windows 8.1 btw. Thanks

Weird issue. My photos (regardless if I view them in metro or a desktop folder) won't fill the entire screen. Instead there is a black bar on the left and right of the photo. How do I make images take up the entire screen? I have a Vaio Tap 20 inch all in one with the latest version of windows...

Would be nice to have a admin put my thread back up and to stop moving it and deleting it. What gives?

Apparently screen shots have leaked of the new notification center in Windows Phone. If MS wants to make their software the same for all devices (tablets/phones/desktops) then this is what we may be seeing in a future windows desktop/tablet version. Leaked slide shows off notification center...

I have windows 8.1, Sony Vaio Tap 20, with a Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 135 driver and I constantly get the "Limited Internet Connection". Actually this problem went away for a while for the most part, but now its back with a vengeance. I have read online that people have been rolling back...

I notice when using the Metro version of Outlook that when I open Outlook it always marks the first email as being read. Sometimes I will need to keep emails marked as unread so I end up having to go back and mark emails as unread before closing Outlook. Anyone else have this problem?

ABLE to set METRO apps to open half of screen by default? Would really like for windows apps to open 50% view by default instead of forcing me to manually do this each time. Is it possible? Thanks Edit: I'm talking about Metro apps, not everyday 3rd party programs that run on desktop version.

I saw some older threads but nothing that relates to windows 8. Anyone have any possible solutions to this issue? I have downloaded the latest Sony divers, tested the router, and asked Sony for assistance but nothing has worked so far.

For some reason I can see my Outlook email but when I try to send any emails they automatically get sent to the draft folder and sit there. I also have a Gmail account set up but same problem. Suggestions? FYI this is the W8 mail app that has these problems. Thanks

In the latest versions/builds of 8.1, I realize they brought the windows icon to the bottom right to help users switch between desktop and metro. Is there a option to leave that start bar to have on (visible) always? The videos I've seen have the windows button acting like a charm (you have to...

So with Office 360 (the $100/yr version) I get Office on up to 5 computers I believe. Is it possible to give a version (or allow a relative in another state) access to use/view/create word and PowerPoint files? If so, how do we do that? Note: I don't mean the online version. I know about that...

I have a Sony Vaio all in one but it doesn't have a cd drive. I've purchased two and neither were recognized by Windows 8. Has anyone found a USB optical drive that they can reccomended? What's funny (or sad) is that the suggested accessory on Sonys website for a optical drive has a review on...

If not how do I set up a account that won't let a user access computer settings or the Internet?

So my power went out today and my wifi was knocked offline. When I tried to turn on my Sony Vaio Touch it said "unable to access Windows without a Internet connection". I have the Home Office 365 program. I had to eventually wait for my wifi to turn on before I could create a MS Word document...

Where exactly are business users going to store all of these countless excel, word and powerpoint documents if you can't create tile folders?

To those who have used 8.1, is there a place where missed notifications are stored? Update: notifications that are from 3rd party apps like Weather Channel, ESPN, Facebook (coming soon), etc...

In the control panel, under System and Security, there is a section called "Add features to Windows 8". It then asks if I want to let W8 take over my computer. I didn't go any further. Anyone know what this does? If anything?

The metro photo app (that comes with W8) is showing photos on the live tiles that were deleted over a week ago. I've turns lives tiles on and off. I've unpinned from the start screen and then re-pinned. I deleted personal info from the tiles from the settings screen. I've verified that the...

I can figure out how to make the search bar viewable in the desktop version of IE10. Instead the searches are appearing in the address bar, which I don't want. I went to Tools > Manage add ons and selected google, but it didn't create a separate search bar. Is that feature gone...
