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?

Hey, Refreshing Windows might help, but I don't recommend it since it will COMPLETELY REMOVE all you Programs you've installed!
Also if it is a store bought PC, It will install all the bloatware back on...

If you don't want to waste time erasing the bloatware and installing your programs back, keep away from refreshing, It's a misleading title.

    I'm trying to get win8 onto iPad as main OS

    Have an Hp Envy Laptop
Run refresh maybe after running something like;
recimg -CreateImage d:\RefreshImage

see what happens ? maybe that will give you back the tiles normal after a refresh, and keep your installed programs & docs too.

Hello iDoctorAple, and welcome to Eight Forums.

I agree that resetting the Start screen would get what you were wanting. :)

I'm not sure about the ping issue, but you might post that issue in a new thread in the Network & Sharing area.
