I just wanted to share my experiences in this lounge area about switching from Ubuntu 14.04.2 64 bit LTS GNU/Linux to Microsoft Windows 8.1 Professional with Media Center Update 1 64 bit on my Lenovo IdeaPad Y510P high end gaming notebook PC. I purchased Crucial Ballistix Sport PC3-L 12800 16.00...

Actually, there is an unsupported BIOS hack that will allow me to purchase an Intel 7260-AC dual-band 2.4 and 5 GHz chip and install it on my Lenovo IdeaPad Y510P gaming notebook PC. It's rather involved as a process, but it is doable and the Intel 7260-AC chip is inexpensive. My one year...

So, I should be fine right? Lenovo IdeaPad Y510P Intel Core i7-4700MQ 2.4 GHz quad-core with Hyper Threading CPU DUAL nVidia Geforce GT 755M 256 bit bus architecture 4.0 GB GDDR5 Video RAM in SLi configuration 15.6" 1920 X 1080P LED TN screen Crucial Ballistix Sport 16 GB PC3L 1,600 MHZ DDR3...

Yep. This is still solved. I'm debating whether to install Microsoft Windows Update KB3000850 or not. Tomorrow is Microsoft Patch Tuesday. I'm hoping that it will go well and I think that I will continue to wait for more information about KB3000850 before I decide to install it later this month...

Now, I've got a really known good installation that is fresh. I should have done this in the first place. No more messing with registry hacks, Microsoft .NET or Silverlight, sfc, DISM, chkdsk, etc. I plan to install Acronis True Image 2015 and I will perform a disk image backup after the final...

Earlier today, I performed a Lenovo One Key system recovery to reset Microsoft Windows 8.1 64 bit back to the original factory default configuration and it was successful. I also re-installed a few of my favorite software applications and Windows 8.1 apps. It was successful. I now have access to...

I used the official Microsoft App troubleshooter and it tells me this information: Windows Store configuration may be damaged: detected Display adapters may be out of date: detected Service registration is missing or corrupted: fixed Windows Store cache may be corrupted: fixed I also ran the...

I'm going to wait until Microsoft Corporation releases the stable version of Windows 10 to the general public, then I will pay for the upgrade and do the upgrade myself. I'm thinking that Windows 8.1 is not their best operating system version and Windows 10 will magically fix the problems. Until...

My impression is that some of the apps in the Microsoft Windows Store are not fully baked. Microsoft Corporation removed 1,500.00 apps from the Windows Store because they were garbage and they had malware characteristics. The more that I read the user comments about Netflix, Hulu, and Next...

Thanks for looking into this matter with me. It seems that the Netflix, Hulu, and Next Issue modern UI apps have bugs. My other modern UI apps do work like Amazon Kindle, etc. I'm thinking about contacting the app publishers to see if they plan to release updates that will fix the bugs. I don't...

Microsoft Windows Media Center still won't let me install Netflix's app. I'm back to square one. I'm about to run the Microsoft App diagnostic tool later.

I uninstalled most of my software security applications and Netflix, Hulu, and Next Issue still don't work. I'm going to test Microsoft Windows Media Center and the Netflix app later today. I am using Microsoft Windows Firewall with Advanced Security.

I've been researching the BitDefender forums for their Sphere 2013 and Total Security 2015 products and there are people with similar problems as myself. They report that BitDefender cut off access to Netflix, Hulu, etc. while Microsoft Windows Firewall with Advanced Security simply allowed them...

I use BitDefender Sphere 2015 and I don't see outbound rules in my BitDefender Firewall to allow Netflix, Next Issue, and Hulu, but I do see them in Microsoft Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. How do I find the path locations for Netflix, Hulu, and Next Issue so that I can create outbound...

I'll do this tomorrow, but I'm not optimistic. We shall see. Thanks for your reply.

I've also re-installed Microsoft Silverlight and .NET 4.5.2. This doesn't seem to solve the problem either. I know that I can view Netflix and Hulu in a web browser, but I want to get these modern ui apps to work again. What are other possible solutions?

I've done a SFC /scannow and DISM check, scan, and restore health and it made some repairs and I restarted my PC. It did not solve my problems. I also ran the Microsoft app checker and it said that my Windows Store is corrupted and my graphics driver needs to be updated, but I need more...

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Y510P and I use Microsoft Windows 8.1 Professional with Media Center Update 1 64 bit. Recently, I've been having problems with the Netflix, Hulu, and Next Issue modern UI apps that I downloaded from the Windows Store. I can launch the apps, but it won't allow me to log...
