I have a W-10 laptop that I can connect to my other computers, but only from the other computer, not vice-versa. The icon of the other computer shows up on the network window of the W-10, but when I click on the icon, I am prompted to enter my credentials - but the password is not accepted. From...

Installed Macrium Reflect and ran backup. It failed because of the I/O device error. I hope I don't have any problems with the system in the near future. BTW, I do the updates from Microsoft daily.

I don't understand what you mean by, 'treeing down'. The backup does find my external hard drive and begins the backup, but then it fails.

In the past, system image backups from my Toshiba laptop to an external HD worked, but now I get the error displayed in the JPG attached in this post. I have done the CHKDSK/R on my hard drive but the backup still fails. I even tried a different external hard drive, but the results are the same...

I am using a touchscreen on my Toshiba laptop, and I have moved that icon by dragging it with my finger. A tablet may behave differently.

By right clicking the application icon, don't you get a selection, "Open file location"? Clicking on that should open a window to the location where the exe file is located.

Thanks, Brink.

When I double-click on txt files or html files on my hard drive, why do I get this popup that tells me I have new apps for this type of file? Notepad is fine for txt files, as is Firefox or IE for the html files.

I use the desktop 80% of the time and Metro 20% of the time.

I have been using Windows 8 on this Lenovo laptop since July 2013. I am fairly used to how it operates, but I am disappointed with all the bugs this OS has. Even Vista, which a lot of people had complained about, was not this buggy. I visit this Windows 8 Forum, and I see that many others have...

On my laptop, the SendTo folder is under (my user name)/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/SendTo. Use File Explorer to display this folder.

Have you tried this solution to apps disappearing after one second? 1. Open a command prompt. 2. In the command prompt, copy and paste the command below, and press Enter. Code: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register...

I had the same problem which is now resolved... After installing 8.1, the Store would revert back to the Start Screen after one second. I posted the problem here, but I made no progress until I found the thread with the title: Store - Re-register in Windows 8 and 8.1 After upgrading to...

Try right-clicking on the start page. There should be a button that says, "all apps." Click on it and the apps will be displayed alphabetically. You should be able to scroll across the page until you find it. After Windows 8.1 is installed, you can wipe the start screen upward and the apps page...

I'm delighted it worked for you, Karin. It took me days before my problem was resolved.

Karin, I got the same error when I was trying to download free apps from the store on my Lenovo running W 8.0. I decided to update with Windows 8.1, hoping that would solve the problem. After installing 8.1, the Store would revert back to the Start Screen after one second. I posted the problem...

Looking on the Apps page, I found an Alarm app which I had never installed, but it was set to 7:15 AM. It had a button which toggles between 'ON' and 'OFF'. It is now turned off after I toggled it. What is strange is when I used the CHARMS search, it didn't show up. Since I upgraded to Windows...

The last few days an alarm has come up at 7:15 AM on my laptop running Windows 8.1. I am not interested in having this alarm, but I can't find how to disable it. I searched for 'Alarm', but I can't find where it resides. Can anyone tell me where to find this app so I can turn it off? Thanks.
