I have a HP Pavilion with Win8 pre-installed. I have been using it normally for about 6 months now. I just thought to try Stardock - WindowsBlinds 8 or whatever you want to call it. I installed it and when the setup closed I did not chose whether I wanted to opt for the trial version or buy it. This where I think I did my mistake... The next time I tried to go my tiles screen, it wouldn't allow me to even go there! When I go to the bottom-left of the screen, instead of showing the tiles in a small format, it shows me nothing! And also now my laptop directly boots into the desktop instead of the traditional way of booting into the tiles screen. I eventually decided to uninstall it and went to the Control Panel. When I tried to uninstall it, it just wouldn't happen stating that XYZ couldn't be found or something like that. Then I did a graver mistake, I directly tried to delete the Program Files folder in the C:. But 3 files remained. And nothing changed. Then I reinstalled it and again uninstalled it but to no avail. Finally I tried regedit and tried deleting the keys left by Stardocks. At the same I ran sfc /scannow in cmd with Admin permissions. After deleting the keys suddenly the tiles appeared back 
! Now to today.... When I turned my laptop back on today, I was greeted with the same problem 
! I tried sfc /scannow again but it shows no problem was revealed!
This is very annoying and a big problem as I frequently use the Tiles screen for updates.
So now here are my questions -
1. Is Stardock or WindowsBlinds the only program behind this or is this an internal fault in my laptop!?
2. When I deleted the RegKeys from regedit, the problem was partially solved... Even though those files were gone, why did the problem reappear!?
3. How the hell do I solve this problem?!
If you need screenshots, I can send them through... Please help me... :shock:
