I guess it is not possible to remove/disable the "Format" option from the Context Menu for drives. The only way is to just disable the user's Context Menu. To do that, you have to create the registry data listed below and then Sign out and Sign in. Registry Location...

I want to remove the option of “Format” from context menu for drives. Could I get some help on how to do this?

I have tried both, none of them worked. I was able to figure it out. I have R-Wipe&Clean program on my system and that is causing the issue. It was wiping the empty directory of "Administrative Tools" from %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs. After that, it picks up the...

I have a Windows 8.1 system with 3 user accounts all with Administrative rights. 'Show administrative tool' setting is at 'No' on all of the user accounts but the tools still show up. I have tried everything from the thread listed below but still can't figure it out...

I just reseted the Start screen and after, the Microsoft apps shortcut names are changed.

I restarted the PC, but nothing changed. I don't have any third party program that can conflict with this setting.

I have tried everything listed here, but I still can't hide the Administrative Tools from the Start Screen.

When a computer shuts down suddenly, it can corrupt the BIOS settings. To resolve this issue, go to the computer's BIOS and apply Defaults. I had this issue with my PC with Windows 8.1 64-bit. The Windows was not booting up and when I tried to Refresh or Reset the Windows, I was getting this...

I don’t know if this is the right place to ask these kinds of questions. CyberLink PowerDirector 12 (Video Editing Software ?CyberLink PowerDirector 12 Ultra) creates the reg data listed below into the Windows Registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Software\CyberLink\PowerDirector12\PDR12...

Have you tried uninstalling and then re-installing the Network adapter?

Good news, Microsoft has resolved this issue in today's Windows 8.1 updates.

I have two systems, one 32 bit & the other 64 bit, both were running fine with Windows 8 Pro. When I upgraded to Windows 8.1 (Clean Install), I started to get this Sleep issue. I tried all kinds of things to fix this, but the final solution I found was switching to a Local Account.

I provided a solution that has worked for me & other people on this forum. You can check it out: http://www.eightforums.com/general-support/28226-windows-8-1-refuses-sleep-49.html#post312742

Mine is about 6/7 sec. I don't know why yours is so long. I think opened programs in the background might cause this delay.

I have tested this enough to tell you that the only issue with Windows 8.1 is SkyDrive.exe & SkyDrive is only active when you have a Microsoft account. Switching to a 'Local Account' solves this issue for me & other people I know. Disabling SkyDrive related tasks, In-TaskScheduler & disabling...

I tested another thing. I killed the 'SkyDrive Sync Engine Host' process and after that, the computer was able to go into sleep right at the chosen time. By the way the HomeGroup is off too Just turning off the HomeGroup didn't solve the issue. You definitely need to kill the 'SkyDrive Sync...

It's the Windows, not the third-party software. The issue is with the SkyDrive app. I have fresh-installed Windows 8.1 three times. I did not update, did not install any third-party software, but still the same problem. I have tried this on 2 PCs, same issue.

I was having the same issue but when I switched to a 'Local Account', the issue was resolved.

This SkyDrive issue is even slowing down the Explorer.

Thank you very much for explaining.
