Ok, I am getting super frustrated with Windows 8.1 and I have no idea what to do. I have a Asus touch screen laptop. First off, when I had Windows 7, I could turn stuff off. With Windows 8.1, they seem to have said "Forget you, user!" and forced us to use Windows 8 they way THEY want us to use it with no customization possible.
Here is my dilemma. The touchscreen keyboard, the UAC, and the mouse. I have CONSTANTLY changed these to suit MY usage and Windows keeps resetting it back to how THEY want. With Windows 7 and previous OS' I was able to change these settings and they remained how I set them. Not so with Windows 8.
I turn off UAC because I don't want to click on a dialogue every time I install, change, update, etc. something. I have turned off the on screen keyboard. I have turned off tap to click because I hate accidentally tapping when I want to move the mouse.
Regarding UAC, Windows decides that's not how I want it and upon restarting or turning on my laptop at another time they turn it back on. Regarding the on screen keyboard, Windows decides to turn that thing back on even though I disabled it in Services. I turn off tap to click and Windows decides that it wants to turn it back on.
You can understand my frustration and I have no idea what to do. Microsoft has gone so far as to take away our rights as a user and I find that detestable and even a bit shady for a company.
If anyone has a permanent fix for these issues I would be forever grateful. Thank you.
